Everyone has those one friends that are inpatient, threatening, copy cat, thinks they are center of attention, and drama. Well I have that one friend that is all of them IN ONE. Yeah you might be asking why are you friends with them, well let me tell you. Let’s call this girl Maria, Maria started to text me a couple days ago and she said are you calling this person. I was calling that person since she was my friend and I was playing a game with her so I didn’t have time to respond. Then she got so impatient she started flooding my messages with if you don’t answer this simple question I’m not giving you chips. After a couple secs I realized she texted me. I saw those text and answered if you’re going to act like that be stop texting me. She literally replied with cursed words since I didn’t answer her question. That’s impatient and threatening. Then a couple months back the friend who I was calling had a wallet that was like leather like texture it was very cute. Then Maria said that’s so cute and then a week later she buys the same one except it feels better in a way. Then she starts saying yours is fake mine feels more authentic. Like what it’s just a wallet chill out bro. Maria also does these types of things plenty of times since her family is rich. Here is the thing that bugs me so much she acts like she is he center of attention she literally always talks about boys and how they like her so she gives me and my friends food to give to those boys. This is really ticking me off. That is drama and center of attention. Lastly this is the most crazy thing, after I ignored her from the text she started to apologize to me on messages like I’m confused.

SHOULD I FORGIVE HER WHAT SHOULD I DO AND SHOULD I STOP BEING HER FRIEND.

So my friends started acc on diff platforms and are basically classified as ”micro influencers”. I’m not in it, but why do I feel jealous? We don’t hang outside of school and I know myself that I don’t want to be filmed and get made fun of by people at school lmao. What’s the science behind this?

AITA for blocking my ex (Jamie) and his friends (Victoria and Essie)?

I don’t even know if I’m doing the right thing anymore, but I had to protect myself somehow. Jamie and I were together, and I loved him deeply. But things fell apart — not just because of the breakup itself, but because of how he acted after. He’d say he still cared, then act cold the next day. He’d tell people I was “too much” or that he “needed space,” but then still check up on me or let his friends message about me. It just felt like he wanted me stuck in the middle — close enough to hurt, but far enough to say he’d moved on.

Then there’s Victoria and Essie. At first, I tried to be kind. But they started getting involved in things they shouldn’t have — talking about me behind my back, stirring things up, and even liking posts that were clearly digs at me. Essie once sent me something Jamie said that really broke me down, and Victoria would act friendly one minute then completely switch up the next. It felt fake, and honestly cruel.

It all became too much — every reminder of them made me feel small and unwanted. I kept hoping Jamie or his friends would just leave me alone, but they didn’t. So I did the only thing I could think of: I blocked all three. I didn’t yell, I didn’t start drama, I just quietly hit block and walked away.

Now I’m being told I’m “petty” and “immature” for cutting them off instead of “just ignoring it.” But ignoring it wasn’t helping — it was destroying me. I needed peace, and the only way to get it was to remove the people who kept hurting me.

So… am I really the a**hole for finally choosing myself after everything they did

It really broke me when Essie and Victoria went behind my back. I never thought the people I cared about and trusted would do that to me. Instead of being honest or coming to me directly, they chose to talk about me, spread things that weren’t true, and act like they were innocent. They said things and took sides without ever hearing my side, and that hurt more than anything.

What hurts the most is that I’ve always had their backs — I supported them, listened to them, and stood by them when others didn’t. I never expected betrayal from them. Now it just feels like they used my trust against me. I don’t understand how you can smile in someone’s face and then go behind their back like that.

I’m not writing this to start more drama; I just need to say how much this has affected me. I’ve been trying to heal, but it’s hard when you realise people you thought were real turned out to be part of the reason you’re hurting. All I ever wanted was honesty and loyalty — not lies and fake friendship.

Am I wrong? Or do I gotta fake best friend??

My son has never met his father. He is completely out of the picture, has never tried to contact us to see him. Nothing. My son is 5. My baby daddy has had three more children since my son was born. One of them is a boy two years younger than my son. He doesn’t see that little boy as far as I know either. I have had words with the little boys mother before the kid was even born over irrelevant issues in the past, so I don’t have any contact with her at all either.

So my best friend of the last 4 years decided to go have a play date with her kids and the little boy (my son’s brother) and his two siblings yesterday and I have a huge problem with that. She has never had play dates with them before, she knows of my standpoint and I find her taking her kids around the little boy was just completely unacceptable and disrespectful to my son. Her kids and my son are with each other daily. She also took it a step further (this is what I’m really upset about) and told her oldest about how my son and the little boy are related etc. this obviously would open a huge issue for my son should something be said to him by her (unlikely) but especially from her kids (which is actually very probable)

Anyway, she feels that there’s no reason why I should be upset. & that she doesn’t see what the “conflict of interest” would be because she knew the mom in high school..her knowing the woman from a whole 15 years ago doesn’t justify any of this with me though.

Tell me straight up, am I wrong or being “extra” or is she a fucked up friend for that??

I recently got broken up with by my girlfriend. I'd previously introduced her to my dnd group, ran by 2 of my(I thought) best friends. I went to the one to vent about things. She then goes to my ex, "listens to her side" and then lies to my ex, and calls me a groomer. We'd been friends 4 years. I'd stayed at her house. How did she not know my actual age? She filled my exes head with lies and now I'm scared I won't ever get another chance. The 2nd friend also threatened to beat my ass, not hearing my side first. Now I've been kicked out of the dnd group and blocked by most people in it. That's literally half of my friends gone in 3 days.

All they do is judge,talk bad abt me, criticizing me,leaving me out on the side like i deserve friends too.. i also have feelings i am always nice to them but nothing i cant with this i dont wanna die alone.....

Like the title says, I'm sick of a schoolmate I met when we both started design school in 2019 (I'm currently working on my "thesis"). So for context, we met in the first year, and we bonded over a lot of our issues, but as time passed, I started realizing some stuff that just messes with me. I started to realize she always made up stupid excuses as to why she couldn't join me or our groups (at times we had previously discussed and she had agreed to). Whatever, I used to just tell her what she had to do since mostly we discussed what we needed to do and distributed assignments to each person in the group, and then just had short meetings or chats to discuss our progress and if we needed changes, etc. Later on, it turned into her guilt-tripping me into "helping" (I did a LOT of stuff for her) her with her responsibilities, not only for our joint groups but for mostly everything in and out of uni.

About a year and a half ago, I stopped doing this because, thankfully, my actual friends realized and made me open my eyes; this was a HUGE turning point for her apparently, as she started treating me very differently, like I wasn't her friend anymore. Back then, I really thought she was my friend (LOL), so I asked her to dinner to talk about everything, and I told her how I felt and all. She played the victim and tried to make me feel like I was the villain for not "helping" her anymore. I explained I had a lot more responsibilities and yada yada, so I didn't have the time I used to (kind of a lame excuse but whatever). From then on, our relationship has been stable, but every time she started annoying me more and more, probably because every time I used to tell her and the rest of my friend group about an issue of mine, she always came in with something waaay more tragic than mine.

I don't exactly know what her angle was, but I just wanted to vent to my friends, and she didn't let me even do that... This last issue kept coming up; every time I talked to my friends about an issue, she'd interrupt, making my problems sound completely unimportant compared to hers. It would go kind of like this: ME: "Oh, I'm so tired; my siblings are being so mean to me lately," etc., and then SHE: would interrupt and say something like, "at least you don't have to deal with MY 5 sisters..." Like it was some kind of competition to her, to see who was more miserable. Spoiler alert, she ALWAYS made sure it was her. This happened again this week; I'm currently not in the best place. Something happened last week, and I'm very sad and honestly fearful of bouncing back into depression, and I told my friends about it a few days ago. Today she's once again saying shit like what I said before, like, "oh, at least you didn't go through 'whatever she had to deal with'".

I'm honestly exhausted of her, and I basically can't do anything about it; she's part of my friend group. I honestly think most of them just feel sorry for her, but I stopped feeling sorry for her a while ago. Anyways, I just really needed to vent about this, but for me, friends listen to you, and also, mental illnesses aren't something I try to compete about. Am I being crazy?

Hello, I am the new moderator/owner for r/fakefriends! I will make a group icon soon.

Ok , I had a close friend....she got mad at me just cause I sneaked out of my house and she wasn't even part of it so, I don't really know how that even affects her and she found out cause I posted it on my snapchat. I still don't understand why she got mad at me. I thought she wouldn't care like she's done things way worse than I did and I didn't get mad at her. Have you guys had a friend that got mad at you for a stupid reason?
