 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Hello, Carolyn! My close friend of many years and I live about an hour away from each other, but we might as well be on distant planets when it comes to covid. Lockdown was extremely stressful for both of us. Since lockdown ended, I have been living carefully: masking up indoors and getting vaccinated ASAP. She has been living confidently, maskless, and refuses to get vaccinated. I think covid safety is a big deal, she thinks it's not necessary. Her friend got covid-19 while battling breast cancer and died. My friend is convinced her death wasn't related to covid (how would anyone know?). I don't respect her decisions, her logic or her behavior. She doesn't respect mine — she thinks I'm overreacting and overly cautious. When we talk about it, we both dig our heels in. So now we aren't talking. It's been over a month now. Now that the delta variant is here, I'm even more worried, angry and frustrated with her. I'm practically obsessed with her lack of safety. How can a friendship overcome these differences? — Frustrated |
