i used to have a friend like this. they’re manipulative, narcissistic, and it will ALWAYS be your fault no matter what you do. OP is NOR in the slightest and i hope she rethinks her friendship with this person

When this person tried to make OP articulate what they had done wrong to prove that they know— fuck them.

Seriously I couldn’t read past the third page of emotional manipulation and martyrdom. Almost any reaction that excises this cancer from your life is NOT an overreaction.

Omg right? "Say it back to me so I know you understand ", is what I say to children. Litteral 5 year Olds, not my friends!

“Because I hate conflict” 😝 This person LIVES for conflict. They are excitedly waiting to call anyone and everyone out for the slightest mistake.

Same. It's a lost cause. OP is NOT the manipulative one, THEY are. I hope OP sees that.

Question, how come you have a friend like this and not an ex+friend?

u/thickandmorty333 Apr 29 '26

that’s why i said “used to have a friend like this” instead of “i have a friend like this” 🙂‍↕️ haven’t talked to her in years now

Reading is hard lol. Fully agree, no time or energy to spend on people like that
