I really want to know what yall think genuinely. So basically me and this nonbinary person named “Ronald”( not their real name obviously) has been on and off friends in elementary and middle school and I had always felt like they were kind of a mean person. They are an artist which I mean yeah they are good but their art style is just a mishmash of other artists styles that I watched them accrue because we grew up together. A nose from one artist a mouth from another you know. But they would tell me I wasn’t good and once told me “don’t ask me for art lessons I don’t teach them” because I said their drawing was pretty. They were always kind of rude in every situation. In middle school at my own house they made me feel uncomfortable about not wearing a bra to bed in my own house. My shirt was black it definitely wasn’t see through they just kept saying things like “you should wear a bra” or telling me they were sagging in MIDDLE SCHOOL. I watched them steal lps from a poor girl who only had one when she had like 100. She wasn’t rich but like that is horrible. So anyway I had become part of this group of girls all in a group chat and we would hang regularly whoever was available and one girl wants to invite Ronald and I’m like hell yeah I miss Ronald (I forgive ppl eventually and it had been a LONGGG time since middle school people really really change). So we end up hanging out and then Ronald is rude to me every time we hang out and they have an offhand comment. They even brought up the time I threw their shoes in some bushes because I let them be a bitch to me FOREVER and I finally had enough in MIDDLE school. They would tell me I “had too much” when I collect toys but they buy excessive amounts of clothes and have been living at home with their mother for years. The penultimate thing for me was when they made a joke about me being “fat” and said I had a “feeder fetish”. I thought to myself if they do one more thing I’m gonna tell them off. And then one day I send some ai video in the group chat. If I said something they didn’t agree with they would get mad. They hated AI which is fine but my other friends find it funny and they just got added. I’m not gonna stop sending shit just because one person who got added to the group chat later doesn’t like it when we have all been friends and in the chat for YEARS and they’ve only been in the chat less than six months. I was like “why do you always have some bs to say” because they were putting me down basically just making little snide remarks all the time about anything. And I basically say to them if you want to say something then say it don’t make little snide remarks at me and little jokes and think that is an okay way to communicate. And they blow up saying everyone knows they don’t like ai so why would I send it. Because it’s a group chat and other people liked it. So basically my friend “Lisa” has been friends with ronald for about the time that Ronald has been in the group chat and I have been talking to my therapist about how it makes me uncomfortable that Lisa didn’t defend me in either situation other than saying “I don’t know why they said that I’m sorry”. Basically I decide it’s me or Ronald because I’m tired of hearing about them and I don’t want to be friends with anyone who is still gonna hang out with someone like that. I try to call Lisa and tell them that but they are at work so I send them a text saying it just makes me uncomfortable and I feel the need to distance myself from anyone who associates with someone like that. They basically tell me I took what they said too personally and I always want to argue and they didn’t mean anything by it and etc etc. just defending Ronald all the way. I basically told them I will always care about them but I’m done and not to contact me anymore.Aitah?
