“I’ve Never Been So Ashamed”: 30 Moments That Turned Friends To Strangers In Seconds
Interview
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Maya Angelou uttered those words over two decades ago, but they will always ring true. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to see someone’s true colors, especially if you consider them to be a friend.
Redditors have recently been recalling times when they realized that a “friend” wasn’t actually who they thought they were, so we’ve gathered some of their most heartbreaking tales below. We sincerely hope that you can’t relate to any of these experiences, pandas. But if you can, remember that you deserve to have amazing friendships and that you can always cut out relationships that aren’t serving you. Keep reading to find a conversation with the user who started this thread, and be sure to upvote the stories that resonate with you.

When he threw a unopened can of coke at a homeless person. Stopped being his friend right then and there and I took the homeless women to get food and gave her money to go get replacement clothes from goodwill. I've never been so ashamed of someone before or after that.

He was a co-worker that hadn’t been on the job long and I was tasked with training him. We worked a service route driving from job to job. He was in his van following me and I passed a turtle in the middle of the road on the painted line. I looked back in my rear view mirror in time to see him purposely swerve and run over the turtle. A*****e!

Yup. He purposefully tried to and probably did kill another living being. How is this not at the top?

I'd fill my boss in on that one. Whether it was an endangered breed or not, reckless driving in order to kill an animal doesn't go over well with most bosses.

And if the vans have company logos, it reflects badly on the company, and is definitely something a boss would not be okay with.

Pure evil! I was driving once, and a girl's dog got loose and ran into my car. I immediately stopped, had the girl and her injured dog get into the car, asked if she had a vet, drove her straight there. She didn't have her wallet with her and the vet, even though she's gone there before, wouldn't do anything without money upfront (a real ahole, so I gave the vet $400 to help the dog. Fortunately the dog only had a broken leg, but when you're an animal lover, I had no choice but to help. Sometimes you do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.

He explained to me, after the George Floyd protests, that the outcome of the Civil War was wrong, and that Covid was the fault of black people. Never heard any kind of trash like that from him over twenty years. I stood up, told him I would never darken his threshold again and that we were through as friends. I’ve kept my word.

There's a lot of nut jobs when it comes to blaming COVID. My son is a veteran and a person at the VA told another veteran the reason he lost his leg was because of COVID. He lost it from an IED during Desert Storm. Another case was a COD being reported as COVID. The person decapitated in a car wreck.

Oh, yeah, because nobody saw a leftie treating people like s**t and saying hateful things that are delulu ever. 🙄 I heard lefties saying somebody should practice shooting to do "it" better. I heard lefties saying people who voted against corned knees kamala should go homeless and hungry or die. I saw lefties punching Black people on the streets because they weren't lefties. But what anyone could expect from people who votes for a corrupted political party that encourages violence, censorship, and weaponized Justice as if the USA were a banana republic, and treats Black people as useless idiots who need help to achieve anything because they think they are morons? And no, I didn't vote for Trump. I'm a foreigner who visits the US frequently and I'm ashamed of how low it has fallen to make their haters happy and hopeful. They were cooling champagne in anticipation of November's election. Thanks God many Americans didn't fail their country.

To find out how this conversation started in the first place, we reached out to Reddit user Just_want_advice_7, who invited others to share stories about their former friendships. The author was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and discuss how this thread came to be.
"I don’t know what really inspired me to ask this question," they shared. "I was in bed, sleepy and bored, so I thought, 'Why not ask this question?' I even realized later the next day that I didn’t type it well because I was almost half asleep."

I'd always bought my best friend lunch in high school, Like everyday. Every when he had detention, I'd come by and drop him off food. This one week, I lost my wallet, so no money. Surprisingly he he had money that week I didn't have money. I asked him if he could get me lunch and straight up said no. I thought he was joking and then he just bought food and ate by himself. Made me really think people can be so greedy to their best friend. I stopped hanging out with him after that, and I didn't buy him food anymore.
(He didn't steal my wallet it was at my grandma's house.).

Some people are such users. They only hangout with you to get what they want, and it's a one-way relationship. Very hard for people who are givers to realize that it's not reciprocal. And when our charity runs out, so does the friendship.

My friend owns a very popular food truck in the south. She’s netting a half a million a year in revenue. She needed help for a big event, so I went down and worked for her this past July. I worked with one of her regular employees and I asked how the tips were usually split up. The girl told me that my friend keeps every single tip, and that she’s never seen one. This girl is 20 years old and in college and my friend is still taking the few hundred bucks from her. That money is a drop in the bucket for my friend, but life changing for that girl. At that point I realized true greed. Haven’t talked to her since.

Not really. I tip my movers well because they do a good job, are quick, and will put my bed together for me. That's service and they rarely raise their rate for me as I've used then 3x at this point. They make decent money and are always surprised when I give them a good tip. I tip well because they treat me well. I tip good service I don't tip because it's expected.

The place went out of business and an older man moved in with his nearly adult grandkids. Yeah, the rehab people were a far better group than the new tenants.

He should have said "many". The 982 building scorched to the ground in Minneapolis are a prove of that. The BLM heads who used the donations to get a luxury life, are prove of that. The looters and robbers who provoked the closing of many branchs of businesses in their own neighborhoods and cities, ruining life for their own neighbors, are prove of that. Most Black people are good people, but a few delinquents bring shame for their community. And those same Black disgrace people are very very racists. They hate everybody who isn't Black.

That time he told me my trans cousin should be shot and it didn’t even occur to him that that’s my cousin. He said it like I was just meant to agree with him like “oh hey, this is what us regular people think when there’s no weirdos around, right?”

I had a miscarriage, and in response to that news my best friend attached pictures of her own three-month-old baby, ostensibly to cheer me up, at the end of her condolence email (we had grown up together but settled in different cities). I was so stunned by this that I wasn't sure how to address it; I thought she had perhaps attached the pictures by mistake? She was after all my best friend of many years, so surely she wouldn't have been so insensitive-- so I didn't reply. For the sake of loving her, and I wanted to continue to love her, I decided it wasn't deliberate, but it was quite hurtful and it stayed on my mind.
At our next in-person visit, a few months later, she brought up that she had had the idea to send me the baby pictures but thought it "might hurt my feelings," but also that her baby "was just so cute!" so she asked her husband, a psychologist, if it would be cruel. He reassured her it would be fine, so she attached them. I was even more shocked by this revelation-- I could forgive thoughtlessness, but to have her say to my face that she'd thought it could hurt me, but went looking for permission to do it anyway because her baby was cute? Nah. It ended our friendship.

They constantly downplay whatever it is you're sharing - life problems, emotions, general concerns etc. It was a sad realization.

I struggle with the second one. I'm not trying to one up you or downplay, that is my default for trying to show you I empathize. It could just be different communication styles, not a deliberate rudeness.

This always have me conflicted - when I talk about myself in response to someone else's experiences, am I relating or trying to one-up the other person? The intention is always the former, but I alway worry that it doesn't come across like that.

Sometimes that could be good as long as you don't take up most of the conversation. But this post I think is more about someone that says your emotions are not a big deal or your problems might be all in your head. I am trying to stop talking to a friend that does this to me. Instead of support they want to make you feel like you are wrong and should accept you are wrong.

Not really a friend. Rather his mother.
When I was kid I used to hang out all the time with another kid whose mother was sort of the stereotypical Italian mother. Way too involved, a bit of a smotherer. But she seemed nice.
Once I stopped around his house (this was the 80s, so no cell phones) and he & his family wasn't home, but some other kids across the street called me over & I started hanging out with them. Fast forward an hour or so and the friend who wasn't home comes home with his parents. The mom comes over and invites me in their house to play Atari or something like that.
The other kids weren't invited, and it seemed rude to ditch the other kids, so guilt kicked in and I declined. Just seemed like the right thing to do, but friend's mom apparently took this as a slight. To teach me a lesson, she then ordered a pizza and when it arrived invited all the kids in their house - except me. Obviously the other kids went for the pizza and I got ditched, for trying to do the right thing.
I was so hurt by it I refused to hang out with her son again and that was pretty much the end of our friendship.

TF was wrong with that woman? You don't punish a kid for a perceived slight by turning around and excluding them in retaliation. That's the behaviour of a toddler.

I had a friend like that. She spoke badly about everyone. Even called her boyfriend ugly behind his back. Poor Peter has no idea the snake he's dating. She tells everyone that her sister Maria, is a b**ch, her best friend she calls a c*w, pretended to be a victim of domestic violence by her parents (that one I called her out on her lie), because I was telling something my sperm donor did to me because she has to be the centre of attention at all times. When I stopped talking to her, after she messed up my birthday trip, she told everyone that I was jealous of her dating her boyfriend, except that I was never interested. Guess saying what a nasty person she is wouldn't have gone down well with others.

Like when I invited a girl from elementary school, who I thought was my friend, to my home. I later noticed some items were missing. My 7 year old self didn't suspect my friend. I happened to see in her school desk and found an item which belonged to my sister. When I asked her about it, she said she was holding it for me. By then I knew she'd stolen the other items. 30+ years later, the same thing happened to my daughter. She had a $20, which disappeared. She knew who took it. The twin girls responsible for the theft said the exact same thing.

I had a friend who learned early on in his career that you should not apologise. The idea was that you should not be quick to apologise for something you are not personally responsible for, but he took it as "don't apologise for anything ever," and he has held to that ever since. That's one of the reasons why he's an acquaintance now, and not a friend.

Myself and a friend walked down an alley in the night and saw a drunkard pass out on steps, he looked in poor condition so I said nothing and friend said " we could rob this man and we would never be found out". So I say "don't be stupid, look at man's coat, he is veteran. Would not have much anyway". But he insisted and say "we can sell the medals". I felt disgusted, told that I do not want to see his face around our block again and that he no longer part of my friends. To be fair, we were hungry and desperate but I will not rob veteran of he's medals.

Where do I start.
We moved to a new apartment together. About a month later, she let her wealthy fiance move in without telling me until days before - without asking me if it was okay. And I was still expected to pay half the rent. Months later when I couldn't handle it, I had to ask her to make him cover his portion.
She would tell me rude things and expect me to have no reaction.
She would tell me how to spend my money and would act surprise when I got pissed off. Then she would say, "Wow, I didn't think you were the kind of person who let money matter to them."
After she forced me to move out, she didn't send me anything I asked her to send me. Everything I really treasured that was too big for my two pieces of luggage were all lost - paintings i bought from my favorite artist, my jewelry-making supplies, my clothes. Of course, she kept everything I ever gave her. I still cry thinking about it now. .
#37
She came to my (and my roommate's) room crying. We of course let her in and tried to find out what was wrong. She starts telling us all about her relationship and how it's gone so wrong.
She's been abusing her partner for literal months, being physically violent to him, emotionally manipulative, and threatening suicide every time he tries to leave her. Meanwhile she's gotten super close to his family and her partner has been too ashamed to tell any of them what she's been doing to him-- only her side of the story has reached them. Finally the partner has managed to cut ties fully and block her everywhere and tell his brother about it, ensuring he has some support. However, evidently, she's just taken a pregnancy test and it's positive. So she wants to get back in touch with him so he can take responsibility-- but she adds in that it'd be nice if he texted her for her birthday too, and really they should just talk because she's sure she can convince him to come back to her.
My roommate and I are just making horrified eye contact and trying to firmly tell her that she needs to leave this poor man alone and get her s**t together. Eventually we calm her down enough that she decides to go home and leaves our dorm. I have no idea what happened with the situation after that: we made a real effort not to ever see her again. She ended up getting kicked out of our college for calling in a false gun threat. No idea why she told us everything-- we weren't /that/ close and (we thought!) never gave off vibes that we would be okay and supportive of abuse!!

Moved into our first apartment together and at first he was a great roommate. Over time he started working extra shifts and spent a lot of time at work, so he was really only home to sleep. He started to get very passive aggressive about things like the electric bill because of this, to the point where he would seemingly wake up from a dead sleep to turn off lights when I left a room for more than a minute, or intentionally make things inconvenient around the apt to "teach me a lesson".
The point where it got ridiculous was any time he was home he would turn off the AC/Heater, regardless of the weather. One morning I woke up drenched in sweat and sick to my stomach because he turned off the AC the night before and my room was boiling. I was so f****d up I had just enough energy to crawl out of my room and into the living room(the only part of the apt that didn't face the sun in the morning) and promptly passed out on the floor in my underwear.
But the point where is got malicious was that following winter. I like to sleep in in colder temps, so not having the heater on all the time really didn't bother me much, but one day as I was leaving the apt to get groceries, I peered into his room and saw him packing up a space heater. Knowing what he was doing, I asked him why he had a space heater... He said he tried to use it to heat his room, but it did not work well enough. I just laughed in his face. He was so determined to enact his own form of retribution over the electricity bill, he arguably made it worse by using a space heater in an attempt to make a point. He never actually had a face to face conversation about it with me, and after that night I didn't care.
Ultimately we went our separate ways, and he moved out of state. I understand where he was coming from in retrospect, but if he had just done the bare minimum and had an honest conversation with me, I would have been receptive. Instead, He treated it like a game, and if he made my life inconvenient enough I would relent...

Went from victim to abuser real quick. Turns out if a person is consistently in f****d up situations or has f****d up friends, they’re the constant and that pattern of behavior will eventually reach back to you. It’s also a good rule of thumb that if they refuse to communicate about their feelings, as in they’re avoiding them or confronting someone about them, they will neglect yours.

I meet Chbf there, after making my own hotel arrangements, only to find out that Chbf had brought someone else whom I’d never met and whom they just met a few months prior. His ticket and hotel were paid for…
We went on, no biggie, I brought some alcohol and some weed, Chbf said they would “sneak it in”. They rushed on at the gate, I didn’t see them for a while (I, luckily, had other people there I could hang out with). We find each other later for them to admit they’d already drank and burned most of everything that I had brought. I left on the spot and went on a 3 hour drive home.
This was only the “beginning.” Some b******t came before this and much more came afterwards. I’ve, since, gone great lengths to not have to see this person again.
