I honestly have never had a friend who’d be nasty like this. I had acquittances or coworkers or random people I know who were not so nice. If they were friends, then they stopped being friends if they were nasty.

I wonder if social media messed people’s definitions of friendship. People have hundreds of so called “friends”, whom they barely know if it all, some they never met and so on.

How well do you know this person? Is she someone you meet at venues like during social events and she is just in your social circle and attends same events or she is your actual friend? Have you spent time one on one with her, do things together two of you, had meaningful conversations, confided in each other, know each other families or at least about them, know your past etc or is it just acquaintance from your social circle? What I am trying to say friends don’t speak like this to their friends, social acquittances who don’t really care about your feelings might.

I noticed you know these people who either say or do unkind things to you or neglect or ignore or ghost you and you keep referring to them as friends. I don’t know if they also think of you as a friend, but they sure don’t behave that way.

She and I have had a few long conversations, but she's not someone I get together with 1:1. She's in my social circle. I have been to her home for a party. I see her out often, but yeah, she's more like an acquaintance in my social circle. I say friend because it feels like she's a friend.

That being said, I'm going to be very careful about whom I care to call a true friend, and about whom I consider to be a true friend.
