I’ve been living in France for the past 3 months and it’s been great, I’ve loved it (I still have 5 more months left). I’ve gained confidence, new friends and experience. I came home for a couple of weeks over christmas/new year and that was lovely too. I saw my friends and family, went out a few times and got rather drunk.
The problem is, although I was actually feeling content and enjoying myself my 2 closest friends confronted me and said that I’ve been acting selfish and that I’ve been using my confidence in the wrong way, one of them even said that she felt that I had ‘one up’ on her because I’m doing this great thing even though she’s in university doing what she loves (she’s always been the confident, loud and outgoing one and rarely hesitates to share her opinion, which isn’t always a good thing) I’ve never even thought of it that way. I just feel like I can’t be myself and talk about what I’ve been up to or how I’m feeling incase they take it the wrong way.
I know this is a long and confusing one but if anyone can give me some advice I’d be very greatful.
