The letter discusses the complexities of friendship, particularly when one friend feels unsupported by another during their efforts to create community events. Following a year of feeling distanced, the letter's author is confronted with the fact that this unsupportive friend is hosting a similar event. The author grapples with feelings of offense and hurt, seeking advice on how to express their feelings maturely. The response encourages the letter writer to explore their friend's event first and then communicate openly about their feelings to possibly rebuild their friendship.
After the event, schedule a time to talk to her. Tell her exactly how you feel unsupported during the entire time that you were building your business and duped after she chose to do something similar.
It might feel childish to feel offended, but understanding your own emotional responses is valid and important.
You should take time to observe her event to evaluate if she's using your ideas or genuinely creating her own.
Consider discussing your feelings with her in a way that fosters understanding and resolves the distance in your friendship.
