Hey Pandas, What Is The Worst Thing Your So-Called Best Friend Said To You?
Sometimes my best friend glares at me. She uses me because no one else in our friendship group is in our class. She only talks to me cause she knows no one else. I’m friends with other girls in our class but I talk to everyone. Sometimes she just replaces me with them and if we’re in a group task she just disagrees with everything I say even if she knows I’m right.Hey Pandas, What Is The Worst Thing Your So-Called Best Friend Said To You?
I've known her since we were about 6 years old, so over 30 years. After she had a child she sent me pictures of her son telling me that she loves to take funny and unflattering pictures. When I told her via Whatsapp the next day that my father also thought that one picture was funny she BLEW UP on me. Told me that she thought better of me than body-shaming a baby, and asked me if I ever looked into a mirror, and other things like that. I never commented on the looks of her baby, and quite frankly I didn't even care. I only said that that one funny picture she sent me after she told me she likes taking funny pictures, is actually funny. I was always insecure about my looks, and having my best (or so I thought) friend telling me that I am ugly completely broke me. I stopped texting her, because I physically just couldn't, and for over a year she did not reach out to me either. She texted me during the first Corona lockdown, and now we are writing back and forth about unimportant stuff, but for me, the friendship/connection is just gone. Also, she never apologized. I let some friends and even my therapist read that conversation, just to ask them if I said something wrong, but every single one of them said now, it was her who completely overreacted.Hey Pandas, What Is The Worst Thing Your So-Called Best Friend Said To You?
Same "friend," the person I had known for 20 years. I helped her through her divorce, I was with her for every breakup with guys she dated, and I was the one she called in the middle of the night when she had to go to the emergency room. Someone in her life committed suicide when I was in the middle of a big crisis of my own and I dropped everything to run to her. 1. Four and a half months after my marriage broke up in a painful way, she told me to buy a ticket to a Valentine's Day Sweetheart's Dance with her and her new boyfriend. She thought I should go "because it was for a good charity." When I finally backed out, I told her that it would be too painful to be around a bunch of loving couples as a single person. Another friend, J, took my ticket. Later she complained to me that she didn't like J and I was selfish to make her put up with J. Later J told me that she said I should have just taken an anti-anxiety pill and sucked it up "because it was a good charity." 2. When I got breast cancer, she basically disappeared. She came with me to one chemotherapy when I was scared, and then left to go have lunch with somebody else as soon as the nurse took me back. I actually heard more from the nice little old man who ran the mailbox store I went to then I did from her. I wrote her an email to tell her that this hurt me and to ask why. She ghosted me. This led to some passive aggressive exchanges on Facebook (honestly from both of us, I did it too.) Finally she said, "Get down off the cross, someone needs to use the wood." I had never heard that saying before and I was devastated. I cried all night. The next morning I woke up and realized that she was right: I was making myself a martyr over a false friend. And that was that. Now my only regret is that I spent so much emotional energy on someone who was never really my friend.Hey Pandas, What Is The Worst Thing Your So-Called Best Friend Said To You?
