i had a close friend group, but after i drifted apart from one person, eventually the rest of them all turned against me too. it happened when i was already at my lowest.
at the time, i genuinely thought it was just a small misunderstanding that could be talked through. but when they all came together and brought up “evidence” and things they’d been saying about me, it made me feel like i was some kind of terrible person. almost like a monster. overnight, i was labeled a liar and just… weird. everything i said was treated like either a lie or an excuse.
on top of that, things i shared privately and conversations i had with them were spread around, and i was basically doxxed. people i didn’t even know, and mutuals, ended up hearing about it. even people i used to be on good terms with started distancing themselves from me because of it.
it seems like they’re all doing fine without me. like what they said was true — that things would be better if i was gone.
but we were really close once. i cared about them a lot and i was sincere. i still can’t understand how things ended up like that, or if there’s actually something wrong with me. and when i think about how unfair they were to me at the end, it makes me feel so frustrated.
i keep going in circles — doubting myself, wondering if i’m the problem, hoping they’ll regret it someday, or even wishing they’d go through something similar. and then i try to shut those thoughts down, but they keep coming back.
what do you even do in a situation like this?
