Ack- sorry, I understand now. I’m saying Birdie’s a 17(I think)- year-old having beef with a 13-year-old, which is silly- also, I’d have plenty more socials if it weren’t for my parents, lol. I do want to ignore the situation, it’s just difficult now in the height of it- and yeah, most of them do know better. Only one of them other than birdie cut ties, and that was only after I tried to reason with her and she just went “okay no offense lol but I don’t like you” and “I’m more willing to talk than Birdie is, but I’m done. I’m sorry, but I just d o n t like you” (which made me cry for a minute but we ignore that) so sea not really my friend anyways.

Like, 17 or something-

Ok- whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the phone.

17?!

And Birdie's acting like a child who can't have another Oreo before bedtime? What?

Yep, it’s stupid-
Expected them to be, like, 12 I’m guessing?

Lmaooo fair, but if I had beef with a nine year old it wouldn’t blow up this badly-

to be fair, we dont know that this person hasn't had some kind of… trouble in their lives. Like, its ridiculous behavior regardless. And bad mental health and trauma dont excuse it. But they do certainly give a reason, at least. Unless we know this person has had a perfect life, this is clearly unstable behavior.

As a person who has been unstable and done things I regretted later when my head finally cleared for a minute, I have a hard time saying 'what a jackass', even if they seem to deserve it.

@the-void-phantasmic language

Well, we do know birdie’s had some family issues, and they’re autistic- but like, this all could have been solved if they had just come straight to me with their issues that are obviously related to me instead of blowing up all over discord about me and blocking me and avoiding me and stuff- I’m literally a child, I don’t bite

Probably just me being biased-
Kind of hard to not get angry when a friend of mine is actively distressed about it, but truth is I really don't know the other half of the situation. Definitely doesn't excuse it, though.

My friend Blair knows the other half and she agrees birdie’s being immature about it, so if that says anything-

Makes sense. Sorry your parents won't let you :/

It is extremely difficult to ignore the situation while youre in it. Lot of difficult feelings, and if your mental health starts to spiral, that makes everything a million times worse. Glad youre ranting about it somewhere and not bottling it up tho.

Im glad your friends largely seem to know youre not the issue. Sounds like you weeded out someone who would have backstabbed you later anyway (definitely worth some tears, dont worry about it)

@the-void-phantasmic language

as if I haven’t already been backstabbed

Yeah, I did try to rant a little on Sky about it, but obviously that worked out terribly.
The funny thing is, normally Birdie shouldn’t have seen my message boat since I’m blocked. But one of their friends saw it and decided to screenshot it and send it to them.
Btw, I am on good terms with that friend now, I’m assuming she felt pressured to do so. Birdie’s been pressuring her a lot, especially now that she’s defending me and being my friend through this-
So notebook is the only place I really feel safe rn
unless Birdie or her bestie Willow (the one who made me cry) finds it, then I’m definitely screwed-

Being biased is fine. Anger for your friend is normal. And it deinitely doesn't excuse it. I just always like to try to find balance in a situation, know what I mean? It also helps me take things less personally, because when I know a person has issues, or think they might, then it makes the problem not about me. They would be beefing regardless, which takes some of the personal attack out of it, which always makes it easier for me to deal with.

@EldritchHorror-Davadio health_and_safety emoji_events

Oh, for sure an immature way to deal with things. Theres nothing good about it. But some folks just havent had the space to learn to mature yet.
Of course, I could be completely wrong and maybe birdie is just a jerk at her core. I dont know.
But something tells me no, since she was part of your friend group in the first place, and you seem like a better judge of character than that

Im sorry youve felt the knife it sucks so much

Glad you were able to repair that bridge. Pressure is the worst.

As for being safe here, you can always redact posts. Is there a real concern they might find your posts here?

@the-void-phantasmic language

They did seem really nice when I first met them, and we were great friends for a while- but then I made friends with their friends, and I clicked better with some of them than I did with Birdie, which may have been the start of the issue-
I met Birdie close to a year ago, btw
They especially didn’t appreciate when I became pretty much best friends with Liz, since me and Liz are the same age and vibe with each other more than we would some of the others. Birdie kept saying things to Blair like “I wish I never introduced Ame to Liz” and pretty much implying that they wanted Liz all to themselves, which is a little weird-
So yeah, this has been brewing for a while, it only exploded just recently

Well, I have no way of knowing if they might have joined other than accidentally stumbling across their profile, so they might find this whole thread before I can do anything about it-

@the-void-phantasmic language

The only people from my sky group who know about it are Liz and Blair, and they definitely won’t tell birdie or willow, so maybe I’m safe-

Paranoid is fair, but if your lips are sealed and so are theirs, then youre probably ok

I’m just worried I’ll slip up and say something about it to willow if she bothers me again-
Oough welcome to anxiety, adhd, and memory problems how can I help ya
