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?

Have you got children? I wonder as you’re on mumsnet.

Shame you can't get out to the playground to find a new best friend.

Marshmallow91 · 17/04/2020 19:40

I didn't understand your post until reading the responses clarified it for me. I'm only 5 years older than you by the way, so not a massive age gap.

You really need to put your phone away and find something real to concern yourself with. If you don't like your "friend" or what she says or how she acts, then why continue a friendship?

People who insist on keeping toxicity in their lives and being wrapped up in some fake instigram/Facebook world absolutely confuse me to no end.

I have a few friends and a single close friend. Anyone who treats me with disrespect or is spiteful is someone I quickly cut from my life. Job done. No drama, no caring who says or does what. I get on with my life.

She doesn’t sound like a real friend if she judges you according to the ‘friends’ that you have on that site.
If she has blocked you, as you say, why would you phone her?
Leave her be and move on.

MinorArcana · 17/04/2020 19:51

She doesn’t sound like much of a friend if she’s often making snidey rude comments and then blocks you when you tell her to stop it.

You’re not BU. But it might be a good idea to try and find some other friends who don’t think it’s okay to be rude to you.

Thanks Lesley, god I feel ancient!

Op, friends are supposed to add something positive to your life. What does she add?

I'm not sure why you need a friend who is snide and rude to you. She's blocked you. Great. Now just get on with your life

Imboredinthehouse · 17/04/2020 20:07

or my friend is BU for blocking me

She makes snide comments then, when you ask her not to, she blocked you. She is NOT your friend.
Block, delete and stick with people who make you feel happy to be around them.

Well are you a beg?

JorisBonson · 17/04/2020 20:35

🤦🏻‍♀️

Panpastels · 17/04/2020 20:37

So do you have friends on snapchat that aren't friends?

Howfar12 · 17/04/2020 21:10

@Panpastels no, my “friend” thinks that.

With regard to the other posts, the only reason I care is because I have low self esteem, so when someone blocks me, I always feel it’s my fault.

50% day I’m BU - why?

Again, what's a beg?

BunnytheHoneyBee · 17/04/2020 21:18

50% day I’m BU - why?

I think because your post comes across as a bit petty and childish, OP. Not because you were unreasonable with your friend.

hesgotit · 17/04/2020 21:19

50% day I’m BU - why?

Because the other 50% are teenagers?

IHaveAMagicBean · 17/04/2020 21:30

my calls aren’t being answered

She’s not your friend. Do an Elsa/Anna and let it go!

Are you always this needy and dramatic?

Josette77 · 17/04/2020 21:45

Why are you in this friendship? If you know you have low self esteem then you know you need to avoid people like this.
I think this sounds silly.

Oysterbabe · 17/04/2020 21:48

I say YABU because your post makes zero sense to me.

GinDrinker00 · 17/04/2020 21:51

Mate, there’s more to life than this. Find yourself some new friends and grow up a bit. You’re 23, not 13.
