Last week a friend generalised something I said then used it in a way that undermined me within a group we both belong to. There was more to it than that, of course.
I was angrier than I've been in a long time and it's severely damaged our friendship.
It's as though a space rock hurtles down out of nowhere and hits your foot. First you'd be hopping mad, then after a while maybe just hopping. It might take quite some time before you're walking normally again. And venturing outside may even be connected with a bit of anxiety for fear of future space rocks.
The friendship will probably recover … eventually.
Meanwhile, in the rest of the world people have much bigger problems, but this has preoccupied me (decreasingly so) for the last week.
