I idealized the person that you were, and that left me confused about my lack of boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>I provoke you, mostly because I&#8217;m unsure about my own self. You take me too personally. I told you that I was not going to fight for you to be my friend, and I felt you mask yourself. You started distancing yourself, then you attack me. I decided to fall back because I felt you trying to control the way I moved. I owe you nothing. You tried to discuss your depression with me, it makes me uncomfortable and I don&#8217;t even owe you a conversation.
