Talk:Oh, What Hard Luck Stories They All Hand Me/@comment-12205443-20150203193153/@comment-24752981-20150204073835

I've been through the same position. I had a toxic friend, she was a year younger than me, and quite up herself. We did have some fun together, but she'd end all of our good times with some type of under the table put down, and after a while I was like "you know, I'm not going to let her talk to me this way," so I decided that ignoring her would be the best, I was only going to be her friend again when she realised that she should be treating her friends better. I thought it worked out great, but a couple of days later she told me that I was being a bit3tch, and that I was 'rejecting' her. I told her where I was coming from, and I told her that I wanted to hang out with my other friends too. She was like "well like not everything revolves around me, but like you always hang with me more." Then turns out, that she told some of her family members that I was being a bitch to her, when I wasn't even! I talked to her occasionally, but I just didn't hang out with her the entire school day. It upset me, because she painted a picture of me which wasn't even bloody true! I think my friend gets a little insecure, and upset about things like this, because of all the stuff she has been through with her mother and father. I felt bad about hurting her, but also I thought she was being ridicioulous, and instead of spreading rumors about me, she could have just came to me and talked to me. I think maybe confront them first, because I feel like ignoring make the problem worse. Well it made the problem worse for me anyways. I haven't hung out with her in around 7 months, and my confidence has risen a lot, I realise now that sher put downs lowered my confidence a lot.
