To be upset by this

I've just finished a course of three years and made what I thought were two good friends having been friendless up until then. Now it finished last week and they have both unfriended and blocked me.
Aibu to be upset and wonder wtf I've done wrong this time.

Honestly @ReganSomerset your comments are just 😳

Maybe you're being unintentionally rude? Read a self help book on it and see if anything chimes?

I can't see how reading a 'self-help' book could help OP.

OP really - though this doesn't help I know - it's them, not you. There will be a reason they wanted you as a 'friend' & now they don't need that. Please don't blame yourself.

The wider issue of establishing strong friendships is worth looking into. There's nothing 'wrong' with you, it might be just figuring some parts of yourself out & who you are likely to gel with. If at all possible, maybe some counselling?

I cross posted with Hidingtonothing but I think this, exactly, too

I hate to ask OP but did they gain something by spending time with you? Did you help them with the work, or maybe give lifts or something? What you've posted just makes them sound like users who've dumped you because you're no longer useful to them, in which case you don't need 'friends' like them

But even if they’d gained something from OP, for them to both block her at the same time makes no sense!

These are adult women. I find it so hard to believe that they would just decide to block simultaneously because OP has served some purpose or other!

I can't see the whatsapp group any more

Sorry about these so called friends..get out more.

Sorry to hear this @Billy.

What happened the last time you met up?

Could something have been said or misinterpreted?

Blocking people on social media and removing from whatsapp is very strong actions considering you feel you got on well with them.

Maybe text one and see what's going on.

But you can still message them even if you can see the group as long as you have their details. Aren't some groups automatically archived after a while?

IvanaPee · 10/07/2019 07:58

They might have just deleted the Whats app group!

Can you delete wstsapp groups? Even as an owner ive only been able to remove people and exit the group myself, deleting it on my phone but not others.
