1:00.0

Yes, hi Liza and Emily, I'm currently dealing with a friend situation is hoping you could help me out. Oh, this is the place to come for friend situations. One of my good friends asked me if I wanted to take a trip with everyone, we have a pretty close-knit group. Come on. Trip with everyone. To Denver, in the next couple weeks, City of Beef, we live in Dallas and we would stay at an Airbnb. I said that sounds like fun but I'd only go if we drive.

1:30.0

But because it's not safe to go into airports and fly right now, she got pretty defensive and said that her boyfriend wouldn't drive that far, about 10 hours. I understand it's kind of a long drive so I suggested maybe we go somewhere closer where we, where everyone would feel comfortable driving and that was shot down as well. Why would you want to take a road trip to Dallas? No, they're in Dallas, they want to go to Denver. I told her that I refused to fly due to public safety concerns and that if they won't compromise on their convenience then they'll be leaving me out. Her response was just to say,

2:00.0

that there will be other trips. She texted me the next day asking if we can move forward from the fight and I told her I wanted to but I was really hurt by what she said needed an actual apology in order to move on.

2:10.6

Oh, hold on. What she said was there'll be other trips. Why do you need an apology? I guess because she's like, do you want to go on this trip and this girl was like, she doesn't want to go on a trip? She's like, no. Why is she apologize? She's ignorant. She shouldn't have to apologize. She's obviously too stupid to apologize to you. But here's the thing. Her reply was, I'm sorry you felt that way.

2:28.9

Oh, the most manipulative, which everyone knows as a shit apology. It is not apology as the recipient of one for most of my life from a certain relative. It is not an apology. It's a go fuck yourself. That's what that is.

2:41.7

Now she's been struggling with mental health issues anxiety depression since well before COVID and this situation obviously hasn't helped. I'm trying to be respectful of that and understand that she may be going through it.

2:54.0

But what she may be going through but at the same time I feel like just because someone has a mental health issue doesn't give them the right to hurt me and get a free pass on it. Am I wrong? Should I just accept her apology and move on or hold my ground? I don't want to lose her as a friend and she said she doesn't want to lose me, but I don't want to just roll over any time and get hurt by her. This is the first says this is the first time this has happened. Okay, look, I don't know love you and litter everything you put out there. Thank you so much. Your friend is rude. I get it. Your friend is rude and your friend is stupid. I'm sorry. And by the way,

3:24.0

don't conflate like because she was middle-hundreds, one is nothing to do with the other. Your friend is ignoring public health and safety warnings. You're doing even though the world is out there sipping on margaritas made of duck fat and whatever people eat on porches and patios.

3:39.3

People are out, but there's a reason we've seen a spike in this as all health professionals forecast of what happened. You're doing the responsible thing. Your friend is too selfish and too self-involved to see that that's the self that what you're saying is the right thing.

3:53.3

I think she's like, oh, you're being kind of a narc. I'm not the kind of person that's ever been like, I need an apology. I don't care. If you're too stupid to give one, I don't need it.

4:02.9

You need to just know that you're doing the right thing and maybe you should talk with your friend about like statistics and things like that because it seems like she's unwilling to face the truth. I guarantee you're both white.

4:13.5

And so your friend let her go on her typhoid-marry expedition. Let her spread that bubonic plague, but you're not wrong.

4:24.0

And she didn't have to be so curt. But you know what? I found, sometimes I've had friends like that where they always say like the rude thing or they just don't text back.

4:33.1

Do it right fucking back to them. Not a tit for tat, but like, no, she was rude to you. You're the one that doesn't need to make amends.

4:41.9

You said something you were on the right side of the health of the health and law.

4:46.4

So be like, here's a, I'm trying to be respectful of our society and health and safety of others. And it's weird that you were so dismissive.

4:54.0

I'm wondering what's going on with the rest of the group because she says it's a tight-knit group. Are they all getting on a plane with her?

5:00.0

Or are they like you and you guys can take your own separate driving trip?

5:03.7

I love to be the Lorax. I love to be the friend that stands on the stump of the tree. And I'm like, uh, legally speaking.

5:10.3

Statistically speaking, morally speaking, you be the heretic and you go against what they're saying. And you know what?
