my experience w/ fake friends a rant by @sincerely-wynn ── ♡ ── ❀ ┆disclaimer !! ▹ i'm very lucky that i haven't experience so many fake friendship or any severe ones, these people aren't the worse of fake friendships and im lucky i got to escape ▹ all of these ppl are irl, none on scratch! ── ♡ ── ❀ ┆context !! i really just escaped a fake friendship in the end of last year, and i want to share my story and ways to spot a fake friendship + handle one! ── ♡ ── ❀ ┆story !! so I had this one fake friend, let's call her beth (apologies if your name is beth) in 6th grade, we were pretty good friends, we called each other all the time, had a class together, we were each others best friend (close but not BFF kind) in 6th grade, there was alr signs of her fake-ness, like I was great friends with 5 ppl in my homeroom, and she was kind of jealous about that, bcs i was friends with some really nice ppl, anytime I wouldn't call her and talk with them, she would be jealous. In 7th grade, this is were we had ALL the same classes, IDK WHY but it was hard. we were best friends then, and i already found so many annoying traits in her in literally the beginning of the year. - copied me all the time - REALLY competitive when it comes to EVERYThinG - annoying (like fr) - don't trust her (she made up the stupidest lies) - jealous person - takes my stuff - treats me badly - calls me names - trys SO hard to be friends with all the ppl in my old homeroom - always tries to make me look bad in front of others - FLAKER (i hate flakers so much lol) it was really toxic, but somedays we had so much fun, and other days i hated her. you see the thing is, i'm really good at reading people and not trying to be mean but I was a bit brighter than her. so she wasn't that big of a threat and wasn't such a big manipulator, bc i could read her. but its more of the problem that she would just call me rude words (not that bad) and would hit me and would try to get into my head but it didn't really work out. this went on for the whole year and 2 weeks into summer i sent a huge text msg on snap telling her i didn't want to be friends, she acted as if she had no idea that she made me feel this way, but yeah she did. and tried to guilt-trip me :> but dw! i didn't respond and i won't forgive her until she's truly sorry and has changed her ways ── ♡ ── ❀ ┆analysis !! i didn't handle this the best, i should have confronted her IRL, but confrontation scares me, i've kind of been a doormat all my life ;w; im just happy that she never could have impacted me for life and get into my head bcs she wasn't that good at manipulating. but she was VERY physical i'm just happy we aren't frens anymore. i listed alot of red flags and bad qualities in friends above ^^ so yeah, if you have a friend who does that stuff, they might be toxic! toxic friends are easy to find, be careful! and if your like me, my personality really attracts toxic people, so be careful and be confident. ── ♡ ── ❀ ┆take-away !! what should you take-away from this project? ○ toxic friends are easy to find ○ look out for all those red flags that, that person did + more! ── ♡ ── qotd: have you ever had a toxic friendship? if yes, details? ㅤ ∧_∧ ( ・∀・) ( つ┳⊃ that's all for today ε (_)へ⌒ヽフ © 2022 ( ( ・ω・) ◎―◎ ⊃ ⊃
