My friend ghosted me after a bad shopping trip and joined the group she used to talk trash about. What went wrong?
I need to get something off my chest. When I started my post-grad, my friend from graduation and I met a girl (let's call her "A"). At first, she seemed really sweet; she approached me, we hit it off, and we became very close over the months. I helped her constantly with exams, sharing notes and doing phone revisions whenever she asked.
However, over the last few months, I noticed she’s become incredibly sensitive, getting angry over literally nothing and showing a lot of ego. She also used to call the "popular" girls (the teacher's favorites) names behind their backs.
About a month ago, the three of us went shopping for a college function. "A" offered to drive us on her scooty. The day was a disaster for her: the dress she wanted was defective, the replacement piece was also defective, and on the way home, her scooty got a puncture. She messaged us later saying her parents scolded her because of the bike.
After that day, she completely ghosted us. Not just me, but our entire group of three. Now, she spends all her time with those same "popular" girls she used to talk trash about.
I feel really hurt. I keep overthinking, wondering what I did wrong, especially since I felt like I was a great friend to her. It’s so weird and frustrating because I can't stop thinking about the "why," while she seems perfectly fine with her new, larger group. we were friends like for good six months but from that one day she is completely ghosting me. I don't know what to say I just feel very hurt and weird. Has anyone else experienced a friend suddenly flipping like this?
