I have known this girl pretty much all her life. She has Downs Syndrome. She went to a mainstream school and grew up with my younger sister. She has recently got a Facebook page and sent me a friend request. All very innocent. However, she keeps getting into arguments with strangers on the internet when she misinterprets something. Her family have spoken to her about this.
Tonight, she has completely misunderstood a post I have put up about being mistaken for my sister's mum. This happens a lot as I am older than her. She has decided I am being nasty. I am not. No-one else thinks I am either. My sister thinks it is hilarious when I am mistaken for her mum.
However this girl has now put lots of posts on Facebook and sent me a heap of messages about me being nasty. I hadn't noticed as my phone was charging. I've had to block her because it was a bit much. I feel sad because I've known this girl since she was about 5. I talk to her if I see her etc. I don't think I will be able to change her mind. She is very angry with me. I think blocking is the only thing I can do but I feel bad.
I couldn't continue letting her message me like that though. I don't think getting 10 messages in 2 hours telling me I am a nasty person and a bad person would be very good for my mental health in the long run but it still feels wrong to just block her instead of trying to talk to her.
