Am I or my friend BU?

So my friend often makes some snidey, rude comments, but I just act like it’s a joke because I don’t like hurting my friend’s or anyone else’s feelings. However, today, my friend called me a “beg” for the friends I have on Snapchat and that I “probably don’t talk to them anyway”.

My friend then blocked me.

AIBU, or is my friend BU for blocking em?

Again in English please.

chatterbugmegastar · 17/04/2020 18:51

Grow up

Howfar12 · 17/04/2020 18:52

@Sexnotgender was that not in English?

Sorry I forgot to say:

Before my friend blocked me, I said “can you stop - you’re piss* me off”. Then I was blocked

It all sounds a bit childish and teenagey my in honesty. Why does number of friends on social media matter? But equally you should be able to talk to your friend openly and say ‘hey that thing you said hurt my feelings, what did you mean by that?’. In genuine friendships you don’t just laugh things off and pretend everything is OK if another friend is upsetting you. If she isn’t interested, then she’s not your real friend.

Howfar12 · 17/04/2020 18:56

I just want to know whether I did anything wrong, or my friend is BU for blocking me

What does "you are a beg" mean?

Bibijayne · 17/04/2020 18:57

What is a beg? What is this in reference to? Not clear OP

Sparklesocks · 17/04/2020 18:57

Talk to her directly then.

lmcneil003 · 17/04/2020 18:58

It doesn't matter who is BU or not.
Pick up the phone AND TALK to your friend.

MovingBriskyOn · 17/04/2020 18:58

Well if your friend has blocked you, that rather suggests the friendship is over, so it's a moot point, isn't it

cherrybunx0 · 17/04/2020 18:58

so your friend blocked you for having other friends?
a. that ain't your friend
b. how old are you?

Howfar12 · 17/04/2020 18:59

@Imcneil003 my calls aren’t being answered.

@Bibijayne This is in reference to me telling my friend that she was annoying me because she kept trying to put me down by questioning my other friends.

@cherrybunx0 I am 23

I don't know what a beg is. But live is to short for this nonsense. Put your phone down and find something productive to do.

CanIbesomeoneelse · 17/04/2020 19:13

What’s a beg?

lmcneil003 · 17/04/2020 19:14

Then send her a text asking her to call you when she's free.

81Byerley · 17/04/2020 19:14

You sound as if you are 12.

lesleyw1953 · 17/04/2020 19:18

A beg is someone who cultivates "friends" on social media by asking them to add her when there is no real relationship in order to apparently appear very popular

Ginkypig · 17/04/2020 19:20

Sorry most of us are too old to understand the slang so it would be useful for your answers if you explained it to us like we were your granny!

If Iv got it right though then take it from someone who has had to learn the hard way she is not being a nice friend and don't waste time keeping anyone in your life who you and them don't respect each other and treat each other well!

MouthBreathingRage · 17/04/2020 19:25

Unfortunately I know plenty of people in their early 20s that behave like this. Snapchat is a weird obsession amongst a few, along with posting bizarre filter photos. I swear most people on my SM under 25 have their profile picture looking like an over botoxed cartoon puppy. Bloody Gen Z, us millennial get blamed for their shite as well Grin.

Anyway, you and your mate need to grow up a bit, @Howfar12.

Chloemol · 17/04/2020 19:27

Well she’s not a friend then is she? Just move on and forget her

cherrybunx0 · 17/04/2020 19:28

I mean obviously your friend is being unreasonable...I'm a bit surprised at 23 youd even be questioning or putting up with that..I'm really not trying to be rude but I'm just surprised, I'm not much older than you and couldnt imagine this scenario seriously happening in our twenties. not saying we wouldn't ever have words or fall out but this seems beyond petty - sort of thing my ex best friend used to do to me in our teen years. she turned out to be a horribly controlling person who used to put me down in subtle ways all the time - needless to say I found some better friends

Lockdown sure has made some people cranky 😂
