“I finally realized what a one-sided and toxic relationship we had when she would call me to obsess over a guy she liked while I was literally sitting in hospice next to my dying grandmother.”
WARNING: Some entries contain mentions of self harm and suicide."When I was 14, I had a best friend; let’s call her Olivia. ... The best thing I can say to describe her is that she was a golden girl. Then, when we became best friends, I started to realize how manipulative she was. She would pit all of her friends against each other and make us fight for her, just so she could be center of attention. Not only this, but she constantly made us feel isolated and alone.
"She got a group together to stage an intervention, demanding I acknowledge my lies or leave. So I walked out on her and the whole group that day. I hadn’t lied once, but what was I supposed to do, show my transcripts and paystubs to be believed? Six months later I met a new group of friends who are good, kind, funny, and healthy — turned out great for me.""In college I had two best friends — we’ll call them Sarah and Mary.
"The final straw was her chasing after two guys I was starting to see . She was untrustworthy and only ever looking out for herself. She now has a gaggle of super fake girlfriends.""After 20 years of being best friends, ... we always kept in touch, visited each other in different cities and remained close. After I got news of having a tumor in my breast and a cancer scare, I told her I was having surgery via text.
I married him in a small ceremony with only my family present and when I told her we did get married she told me she could not tolerate that behavior in a friend and hasn’t spoken to me in over a year. She had even moved to my small town during the pandemic to be closer to me so now I still see her all the time and she won’t acknowledge me or my kids or family. She even had the nerve to say that she would consider being my friend again when I got divorced.
"She blurts out, 'Well then, our friendship is over!' At that point, I was so done that I said, 'I'm fine with that' and walked away from her. That's not the toxic part — the toxic part was her texting me afterwards saying, "Going out, it became my job to make sure she didn’t cheat and got home safely. Eventually I realized we stopped being friends years ago but I kept holding on to that childhood friendship even though we weren’t the same people with same mindsets anymore.""I reached out to my friend on a Monday after a crazy weekend. She told me she had been in a car accident, was not working that week, and wasn’t doing well. She then told me that she tried to hurt herself ...
I called the hotel and sent a bottle of expensive champagne to her room and never heard from her again. We literally haven’t spoken since. Oh and she’s a nurse. In a hospital.""So near the beginning of tenth grade, I was starting to come out to people around me as a lesbian. I had these two really close friends who I was anxious about telling, one in particular. She had moved to the US back when we were in middle school, and her and I could only communicate via a text translating app.
Well, when it came time to pay for the tires she turned to me expecting that I was going to pay for the tires.
