Okay, I know I shouldn't be upset about this, but here it goes. My friend just got back from a week long trip. While we were catching up with her she gave our other friend (there's three of us at work that hang out) a picture frame she got her and said it was a house warming present (she just moved). Then she told us what all she got for herself, as well as a hat for her boyfriend. I felt so hurt! I was like, she couldn't have just picked up a little something for me just so I wouldn't feel left out? I realize I'm being exactly how I spoke about in the email above, but I can't seem to rationalize it in my brain. I think I just want someone to care about me so badly. I wish I could stop it and just be happy when someone does show they care (which she has a number of times) and not have this hurt feeling when that gesture is not there but I *feel* like it should be. I know its insecurity and I am really trying to work on that, but it sure is freaking hard!
