people keep telling me that it's a bad idea for me to have guy friends. Then I ask why and they tell me that it's because I'm weak. Ya know... when you have friends they are supposed to tell you that they believe in you. When they tell you that you're weak it doesn't really help all the work you accomplish with your counselor. Basically I was told by my counselor that I'm a "people pleaser"... basically that I don't have the ability to tell guys no. That's why I've been taken advantage of so many times. And it just pisses me off the people think that they can tell me to not hang out with someone because they think that I'll be taken advantage of. I was to the point that if I got asked by a guy to do something that I could weasel my way out of it through changing the subject and avoiding it... I'm not to the point yet that I can say no outright. But after all my friends told me they think I'm weak and so they don't want me hanging out with my ex-boyfriend who is visiting from Germany in November. First of all... Felix would never do that. And two... I WAS doing fine with my self-confidence until my fucking "friends" had to open their mouths.
