I am in my mid-30s, I attend a local community college, and I am very serious about my education. I chose to return to college as a result of my recovery from a severe, suicidal depressive breakdown. During my recovery, I lost 2 friends (also in their mid-30s), who I mistakely thought to be supportive. I sometimes see them on campus and it's always uncomfortable for me, and I suspect for them as well. We were good friends, often together, phoned each other, visited each other and gave advice to one another. Each time I've seen them, they've been extremely nasty and hostile toward me. I don't care to be friends w/them anymore, since they have proven their unreliability. How do I deal with them without returning the taunts and name calling they give me? I don't respond, I just leave the situation that brought us together. I work as a tutor at my school and I worry that they will later end up in a class I tutor. I don't want anything more to do with them and I am sick of this crap. Help?
