My best friend basically said to me..

That I'm not gonna be able to do what I wanted when I got out of school. All my goals and dreams that I have wished to fullfill are down the drain because she said I couldn't do it She's my BEST friend, she's supposed to support anything I wanna do, and she doesn't.

I told her I wanted to join the Peace Corps after school, and just travel a lot and volunteer in a lot of countries and help people. I don't want this to be my career, but I definitely want it to be a big part of my life. Anyways, she goes "You're stupid for wanting to do that, why would you wanna live outside of the U.S.? Every country besides the U.S. is practically a 3rd world country" I was like "Wow, how misinformed are you? You think the only country that is not a developing country is the U.S.?" And she just went on about how great our country is, and about how I could never survive "digging dirt" as she put it, in a 3rd world country.

How much bullshit is this? I wanted to come out and tell her that maybe living her "perfect american dream" (graduating college, getting a good job, starting a family, being a millionare with a huge car and big house) is bullshiit.

I'm seriously upset that that's what she thinks of the goals I chose in life. This is a rant.. whatever...

 

let her live her life and you live yours

 

Well I won't agree with your friend because I find your friends views to be pretty stupid.

Though I would say this is a difference between boys and girls, girls like to always support each other, me and my best friend have spent our 1/2 our lives calling each others ideas retarded when we thought they were.

Though that idea isn't retarded, now say if you literally wanted to dig dirt in Botswana, or think near every country outside the US is filled with nothing but poverty, now that'd be retarded.

 

she probably just doesn't like to hear that you want to leave the country (her) for a few years

 

She's bringing it down because she doesn't see value in it herself. but it's your idea, and if you want to do it, then a little close-minded twat shouldn't be able to change your mind for you.

 

fuck her and the american dream. let her go do her stressful job and all that bullshit. I support you

 

Ya, I guess I don't really care what she says.. I'm gonna do whatever I want anyway. I just think it's rude that she would shun my ideas when she is supposed to be my best friend.

I would never think less of her for what she wanted to do. Apparently what she wants to do is better than what I wanna do. Ha

 

Thank youuu

 

that's awful, don't worry about what she says don't let someone make you feel bad about yourself. if that's what you want to do that's what you want to do, you'll have more friends and ones that will support you too

 

Tell her to fuck off and do what makes you happy.

 

Don't listen to her. You're smart, and if you're motivated enough, you can do anything. Just let her be her ignorant self and prove her wrong when you make your dreams come true

 

...better for her. and what you want to do is better for you. friends do not have to share the same life goals, but they should certainly be supportive of each other. it just seems that she's being very judgmental simply because its not something she would consider doing.

 

BTW, is this the same best friend you had some problems with a few weeks ago? If so, I think you need to find a new best friend. lol

 

That's pretty lame. If she's really as good a friend as you say she is, she probably just doesn't want you to leave and doesn't know how to say that to you.

Still though, you should try and maybe talk to her about her little perfect life bubble. The world is a big place, and there is no room for thinking like that.

 

She is VERY judgemental. Plus she was drunk, and when she is drunk ALL she talks about is how she paid for college herself, and how nobody helped her through college, and that she does SOOO well because she has to, and how she's doing all this shit for herself, and she's gonna get a nice car and house and blah blah blah, and I listen to EVERYTHING she says and tell her how great it is, but when I tell her one thing I wanna do with my life she says it's not good at all, like the way she lives her life is the only way to go.

 

ew lol get away from her

 

join the army...these guys are looking for Hashish..

 

I used to have a VERRRY judgmental friend. after he told me how worthless i was because I smoke pot everyday and don't have a job (fuck off man its the school year and i dont need one) I finally told him to go fuck himself and not to speak to me again. He was over at my best friends house over the weekend buying some OC and he tried apologizing and shit and I was like alright whatever dude get the fuck outta here. such a bitch. fuck the judgmental.

 

Ahaha. Buying OC.

 

He was buying OC? And he talks shit to you for smoking weed?
