I 20(F) have a friend group of seemingly toxic “friends”. One in particular likes to target another person very randomly for breathing, existing, etc., and i’m getting very tired of it. Her accusations and offenses are very childish and repetitive to the point where they aren’t even offensive anymore. I felt bad for the targeted friend, so i decided to fight back.

This friend of mine has the most pick me like personality sprinkled with a very sarcastic and condescending voice. She will go after anybody whenever she feels like it.

Whenever my friend makes a childish rude comment to the targeted one, I immediately snap back, but worse, and she immediately goes quiet. This friend has had her fair share of offenses towards me, but I can brush them off since they are often the same ones over and over again. When i do snap back at her, the others around will be surprised and shocked by the way i respond since my response is worse than her initial one, which makes me feel guilty sometimes.

I must admit sometimes I do go a little too aggressive, especially when i’m already ticked off or annoyed at her, but I can’t help but feel the satisfaction of her silence when I am mean back.

So, AITA?
