So, a few years ago I had two best friends. We had our fair share of fights, but we honestly believed that we would be the one trio that stayed together. Wr grew up together, our parents knew each other, and we were happy. Eight years passed. One day, the two of them suddenly came up to me and said that they didn’t want to be friends anymore. No closure, no reasoning, nothing. Eventually one of them (Let’s call her S) told me that they felt pressured by the other girl ( Let’s call her R ) to stop talking to me. I understood, and I tried to move on. It honestly broke me inside. R eventually called me and agreed to stay civil, but we never really talked about that. Since S and I were forced to travel together, we kind of stayed friends. S kept complaining about R, calling her toxic and claimed she didn’t want to be her friend, but refused to stop talking to her. I understood that breaking friendships was hard, especially when it’s a girl you have to see everyday, so I didn’t think much of it. I moved on, made new friends and introduced them to S since she kept complaining about her toxic friend group (that R was in). My friends became friends with her and all was well. Fast forward to about a year ago. I had a birthday party at a fairly expensive place and I invited S along with the rest of my friends. About a month later, during some stupid argument, she told me that my birthday wasn’t even that important and coming to the party was a complete waste of her time. I asked ger if we were still best friends, and she said she didn’t know, but we both knew that that was the end of any closeness we had managed to keep. But S had become so intertwined with my friend group that cutting her off would be practically impossible. I tried my best to move on from everything that had happened and maintained a pretty civil friendship with both S and R, more so with S. Finally, this year, the two of them started to try to insert themselves properly into my friend group, while ignoring everything that happened. R is still being fairly strange, S tries to humiliate me around my own friends whenever she can and I’m honestly just sick and tired of the two of them. Their own friend group is practically hanging on by a thread because they destroyed themselves, and now they have nothing better to do than break whatever I have built. Now that I’m writing all of this down, this feels very trivial, but am I really a bad person for hoping that they would do well and I would never have to hear about it? Am I bad person for wishing that they stay in their own life without interfering with mine? Anyway, I just had to get this off of my chest, thank you to whoever read along :)
