this passive-aggressive thing. I've always blamed someone else in my life for that -
That's quite funny really. And don't worry, everyone does it occasionally. (And methinks alot of what gets called P.A is what we do when we are uncertain about how to proceed.)
I think I've kind of noticed what you're describing about not coping with too many friends at once. Which is a shame because you're so good at it(which might be precisely why you can't handle too many at once, putting so much into the ones you do have), and because the other person concerned strikes me as a good friend to have.
She's a thoughtful woman who cares about her friends. Rather unfortunately, she dropped off your radar but you didn't drop off hers, leading to this sorry situation.
I'd wondered why she wasn't at Christmas Eve. One low stress way to include her in your life, perhaps? It's not like she doesn't mix well.
