dance class
The story
Me and my friend (nickname Poppy) were very close friends but she started saying mean things. we were in the same dance class together and I approached her. I tried talking until she told me to shut up. so i did. i left the dance class and she didn't even notice. when my mum picked me up, i told her everything. she said how i should ignore her, but i'm not very good at that. especially since we were eachothers bffs and only sat with eachother so i felt bad. Eventually I had to go to her birthday party. that was the final straw. I walked in and her friend showed mugs of me that she was sent by "Poppy". I secretley texted my dad to come and pick me up. My girlfriend was also coming and Poppy wanted us to play spin the bottle. She said whoever it was we had to kiss them. I didn't feel comfortable kissing someone who wasn't my girlfriend, especially seeing as she wasn't there because she couldn't make it but her cousin was there.

what motivates someone to behave this way?! Is it insecurity, or perhaps just a lack of maturity? 🤔
it really does sound like your friend Poppy is behaving quite poorly. hard to believe she could treat someone considered a close friend with such disregard and disrespect. the mean comments and outright dismissiveness are unacceptable, especially from someone you trusted and spent so much time with 🤨
wow, that's a messy situation you've got there. honestly, your approach seems a bit too passive??? Poppy's behavior is clearly unacceptable, yet it feels like you let it slide for way too long. if she's saying mean things and behaving like a "frenemy", why subject yourself to more of her drama?! 😕
i am currently experiencing the same thing and I'm scared I can not stand up , but I'm weak and I'm guessing your not don't let yourself be tossed around by that friend and I know you might still want to be the friend they were before but they're not the same person you knew
It sounds like you've been dealing with a challenging situation with "Poppy." It's tough when a friend starts behaving in hurtful ways, especially after being close for so long. I can understand why it must have been uncomfortable and upsetting for you to go through all that, particularly at her birthday party. Have you thought about discussing your feelings and concerns with her directly before deciding to leave the dance class and ultimately the party? It might help clarify things or provide closure on your end.
