Ok, I had to finally blow you off. As that is how it has felt on this side of the fence for the last year. You seemed to want a friendship, something I could have truly used especially this past year. At first it was good conversation, then an offer to go dancing. Something I love to do, and was excited to dance. Oh, had to change your mind. Whatever. Then it was to accept the fact that aya is something worthwhile and to order some. You even seemed to want my experience and ask for my assistance. Again something I was really looking forward to participating in. Not. Again pulled the plug, swallow my ego and…. whatever. Then recently, you email and want me to call. Something you’ve never done. So I call, and you bend my ear for an hour. I don’t mind, I asked a couple questions, but mostly listened. Then for what seemed like no reason, you suddenly end said conversation without a reason. It just oddly petered off. Again whatever. Then out of the blue a couple days later, as if you had been mulling this over, you email me and tell me I could really learn to listen. Well at first I did the polite thing, but after thinking myself for a couple days, I realized that that is some seriously dysfunctional shit. And, after looking at it objectively, I realized there is a clear pattern of selfishness, and disrespect. I really do not need that, especially at this period of my life. I am looking forward, so no time at all for someone that doesn’t respect the friendship offered or wanted. Time for a sudden about turn, and no looking back…….. see you in the next life, but not if I see you first. —Actually Thought You Were a Friend

OB … you should be happy.
You are learning the difference between a casual acquaintance , and a friend. Keep it up & you’ll learn that there are levels of acquaintances as well .
Good luck
OP GOOD FOR YOU.You DO deserve better than that!
Dare I say… “You go girl!!”…I dislike that expression but it was needed.
Your friend seems flighty and unpredictable, best to keep them at arm’s length.
Just unfriend them on FB, and be done with it ya fuckin drama queen!!!

Um sorry, you’re a fucking idiot. And a bad friend. Ayahuasca is a dangerous and scary drug that you shouldn’t promote or convince anyone to take. How about growing a brain and researching all the horrific experiences people have had taking this supposedly “safe” herb. People who take it claim they felt as though they were dying. Beware of these Shaman rituals. Hallucinations and fucking with the serotonin in your brain does not make you “more spiritual” – it makes you a fucking idiot. People have died from this drug. Also there have been a number of deaths in sweat lodges too. Those are steamy little huts that native people sit in for long periods of time and roast. Way hotter than a sauna, people deplete all the water from their bodies, dehydrating themselves, they hyperventilate and pass out and/or die. 50 people participated in a sweat lodge seminar that led to three deaths and hospitalized 18 people. Wake the fuck up and quit promoting this garbage to young people. Again, you are not a spiritual warrior with your altered state of consciousness – you are high and an idiot.
no fool, you are a completely ignorant moron.
spewing uninformed bullshit. Now go swallow your diet pills and prozac, and keep your ignorance to yourself.
