Advice on a stupid problem that isn't really a problem...

[canana]

Sorry to hear you're so bothered by this! I've experienced something similar so I can understand. I'm also an introvert and think my dog is my only best friend

But then again, I've also been bridesmaid to another girl and it's not all that great. I'd rather not be a bridesmaid again, even though I was hurt the other girl didn't make me one.

I had no idea, some brides make you buy the bridesmaid dresses? I guess I was lucky, mine was bought for me by the bride.

Thank you for the advice - I feel better knowing I'm not alone in having my feelings hurt. I've gotten over it - movin' on ...
I like the suggestion of volunterring at a shelter, and I think this is a really good idea for meeting new friends - becuse I know they would love critters as much as I do.
As for my friend, the more I think about it, the less I really care. After I found out Tinky's diagnosis (and she knew I was very very upset) she never texted, called, or anything - when I have other friends who do check on her. I know it sounds silly, but this means a lot to me. The more I think about it, she really isn't as good of a friend as I thought. I know if one of my friends pups was sick I would at least check in. And I'm the only one who initiates contact with her, always the first to call or text.

Wow - you were lucky. Any wedding I've known the bridesmaids buy their own dresses, plus pay for wedding shower, bachelorette party, and other costs. It definitely is a commitment.
All is well - I'd rather spend time with Tinkerbell anyway

Some 'friends' are overrated. You can only trust pups to be always and forever loyal to you lol

Not silly at all. Sounds like you have not lost a thing!

The one time I was a bridesmaid our bride purchased our dresses but they weren't expensive. I didn't do the bachelorette party though.
