Situation with a pool group member and a friend

Comments

It sounds like she was trying to make a helpful suggestion with good intention, but that you were affected by that suggestion since you're already writing down your feelings. Have you spoken to your friend since? It sounds like a conversation about the topic might help to clear the air here. How would you feel about doing this? We're here to support you
