Is this weird or am I being too serious? *Content warning- animal cruelty* edited by MNHQ

Hi please tell me honestly if this is me being too serious or am I right?

I love animals and never want to see any being harmed. I have my own cat who is my little shadow and best friend.

I have a new friend (6 months give or take.) She knows I love animals and how much I love my cat.

Anyway, she keeps saying how much she dislikes cats and is going to skin mine when she comes to visit. I laughed this off.

she sent me a vid where an animal was being mistreated and I asked her not to send me anything like that, sort of laughed this off.

She told me she previously went to a festival and left her dog home alone without no one coming to feed it etc for 4 days. She gave the dog up eventually. I didn’t comment.

Last night she sent me a video of two rabbits all well and fluffy at first then the video cuts out and then two rabbits skinned and put on sticks appear, they’re then cooked and eaten.

I politely asked her not to send me anything like that. She said I’m a meat eater so shouldn’t be bothered. I said I know I am but I don’t want to see videos like this.

is this weird? She hasn’t said she’s joking but seems to find winding me up like this amusing. I’m rethinking my friendship???

Poll’s approaching 500 and still at 100% YANBU! That’s a pretty impressive verdict, OP!

Omg I'm not weird. I'm SO sorry I clicked the wrong button. You are definitely NOT being unreasonable

😆 someone’s always gotta ruin the poll 😂

Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to friends, OP, and it sounds like you have some good people in your life. But I know what you mean about missing having a group of girlfriends, I've got a couple of groups and they meant the world to me. I would find a hobby/class/voluntary work in something that interests you (animal rescue?) and hopefully you will meet like-minded people that way. Or if you can't find anything, start something yourself. I've seen a few posts on my local community Facebook group from people wanting to start a book club, walking group, craft circle, coffee meet up, whatever, and they've always received a really positive response.

I honestly don’t know. I’m so disappointed in myself and I’m scared to be honest.

😂 I'm truly sorry!! Blame the 4am alarm this morning

Run. This person is very disturbed.

Why knock around with someone like that? Join a book club or interest group and find a nice friend. X

Vegan then ?

She's weird, really weird. Block her.

I would block her, psychopathic behaviour.

I’m not sensitive to their torture what are you on about? It’s the first time I’ve ever come across something like this and I’ve not known what to do.

i was vegan but my body stopped functioning (i don’t have to tell you why) so for health reasons the medical professionals advised to me start incorporating meat and dairy into my diet in conjunction with medication. As soon as I’m back to full health which will be at least 4 months I will be going back vegan but I’ll seek proper advice instead of me just doing it.

I wear materials not from animals so I don’t know where you got that from? Go away feel bad enough

Op you don’t have to justify yourself !!

It was originally a book group. She’s friends with one of the other girls. She was not in the group but came on an outing.

Weird. Deeply, deeply weird.

I know thank you. Xx

She’s a freak. The lowest type of human treats animals or children badly or is cruel to them. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to block her and never speak to her again.

you can just click on the other option in the poll if you clicked the wrong one, and it will change it

This…. If you just block she’ll need to react, withdraw, be too busy to meet up but keep texting for a time period, make it longer to respond

I haven’t heard from her since this morning which is really really really unusual. I’ve got chest pains I’m stressed out. Like what is she planning

Just change your vote.

Now you are being a bit unreasonable. She’s probably busy, I highly doubt she’s planning to skin your cat. She sounds like a weirdo and I’d be breathing a sigh of relief that hopefully she’s moved on to bothering someone else.

I would be worried too, and from what you have described, I’d let the police know about what she’s been sending you.
Re other pp, I too would be careful about winding down the contact, it sounds like she’s homed in on your vulnerability, and heaven knows with someone who sounds questionable.

For a little more peace of mind, just letting the police know might help.

They may even know of her if she’s behaved like this in past “friendships”, and been reported.

Take as much care as you feel you want to, it’s not good for you to feel insecure.

If this is real, then yes, disengage
