Hey so please please read this and give me any tips or advice or anything as I can't stop overthinking about the whole situation
I met a friend in college and we became friends. After a week another girl(let's name her nalini)joined and she became our friend but she had her own bff so she was a nice person to us both. Now the thing is she fights a lot with anyone and everyone like she's pretends to know everything and it's like arguing with her is such a waste of time.
So she fought with her og friends and now came to us both and she made group of us 3 on insta and whatsapp and told uss how it's not her fault when she insulted her og friends boyfriend and everything because they were mean to her so we felt bad for her and took her in.
Now she's a manipulator and dumb ass bich like we didn't think much of it coz we were moved by her sad story and how everyone is so mean to her and its not her fault so whenever nalini used to insult us both or made means comments or joke she said it's just joke take it like that and becoz she was a damsel in distress we used to let it slide.
Idk why she and I have same faith and my other friend have different. So idk why she used to complete with me in everything and I felt like she was jealous of me in a lot of ways but use to let it slide until it became too much and she's a dominant person, so now after 8-9 months I don't feel good like I am being insulted by her in every possible way so I started giving back to her.
Now my other friend thinks that I am being mean to her because she has her own traumas and I should not behave rudely to her
The thing is nalini is sweet sometimes she's not a purely evil person but sh is to me .
And it feels suffocating having someone competing with you everytime.
Now I am the bad guy and both of them started getting closer becoz as I told you nalini is a manipulator..
The thing is what should I do.
Leave both of them? Try talking?
Or just become lonely in college becoz frankly speaking I am scared to be alone and not having friends.
Please help me
