I’m a 24F, and this all started at work (of course lol). I met this girl there and we clicked fast—hung out outside of work, had things in common, and she’d randomly hype me up or gift me little things. At first, it felt like a solid friendship.

Things shifted when I started messing around with a guy I shouldn’t have. We were polar opposites, but I was stressed and he was just convenient at the time. Eventually, he went to jail and brought a lot of drama. That’s when she started constantly arguing with me about him and even exposing parts of my personal life to people I would’ve never told. It felt like she was trying to make me look bad over his choices.

She also introduced me to a couple of her old flings, and they’d immediately try to flirt or get close. I always shut it down and told her, but it started to feel like there was some weird competition or jealousy going on.

What really pushed me away was realizing how toxic and hypocritical she was. She would criticize my situation while cheating on her fiancé, having an ongoing affair, and preaching about being a good Christian. She’s also five years older than me, so I expected more maturity—but she’d act the opposite.

I did call her out and told her how she made me feel, but she just loved to argue. Nothing changed. In fact, it got worse. So I eventually cut her off and blocked her. I didn’t want the drama, especially after she started making things uncomfortable at work. Two coworkers even came to me saying they felt weird about stuff she was saying behind my back.

Now, almost a year later, another girl from that same friend group—who I never had issues with—is posting shady IG notes like “funny how people are quick to switch up.” I’ve kept my distance because I didn’t want to explain myself or deal with that mess all over again.

Edit: What makes it feel even more targeted is that she changed her IG note literally right after I posted one (which I rarely do), and her previous one was still fresh. The timing and the message were just too on-the-nose considering everything.

So… AITA?
