Dearest Milly, you have the gall to dissect your friend with psychological BS-speak, but you can't even admit you overreacted. You DID, Ms. Four. She didn't deserve such an ugly backlash. Neither did you, but if both of you are too immature to work around one another's terrible human personality, then perhaps you should stay as far away from each other as possible.
Give it time, indeed... time for what? Hasn't there been enough already? It looks like a consistent, slow-burning pattern is starting - a pattern of interaction, or, in this case, lack thereof. Nevertheless, a pattern of complexity equal to any pattern of interaction.
After a while, the "emotional healing" thing becomes less credible an excuse, and the "give it time" retribe seems more like a ploy to procrastinate the inevitable. Talk about a smokescreen.
It takes GUTS to break a negative pattern.
Come to think of it, I think you ought to be getting advice for this problem from people of OTHER types. I'm sure you have, in real life, but the point is... most of us Four idiots are just as lost and confused as you are.
: )
Hope you had an OK holiday, despite this trip.
