Wow. I’m sorry you had to deal with these kind of people. I’ve had people do those same things. That is horrible. I had a friend only talk to me when it was just me and her. Sometimes she would even invite me over to her house and church. But as soon as we would be in our group setting of like three other friends, I was nothing to her. She eventually apologized and admitted she treated me horribly and was a bad friend and has treated me better since but I still don’t fully trust her even though we are just on good terms casually. I know she could easily revert back to her old ways again. If she does, she is out for good this time, no more second chances, which is something I do too often.

Two orher friends, from the same friend group, talked bad about each other after I agraduated and would go back to visit. The first one would claim second friend was talking about me and saying I need to stop visiting because I am annoying and clingy even though I wasn’t. I would confront second friend and that friend would say it was false and that the first friend was really the one doing the backstabbing and didn’t want me visiting. I stopped talking to both of them. If they didn’t want me to visit, they should have said something. They also complained sbout each other a lot too. One friend cut me off because she didn’t really like me and I believe only talked to me out of boredom. The other one I stopped talking to because he gossips too much.
