Today I learned that sometimes, a friend abruptly blocking you and destroying what you thought was a viable relationship is actually them firing a shot at you from a gun and missing. I'm sure I'll be grateful for the lesson, once I unclench.

"I'm a creature of drama, you have to accept this as who I am!"

No, I actually fucking don't. Good god, yankee individualism has entirely rotted my generation's brain. Sorry, your mental illness doesn't preclude you from natural social consequences. Spraying emotional automatic rounds in your friends' general direction is never a love language. I'm in my 30s, I've been on the internet since I was 9, and I am tired. Fuck off with that shit.

Not to start a thread, but I do have to shout into the void about this, so I apologize if this comment somehow ends up in anyone's feed.

This is a relationship that I'd been pining over since it was broken. They did something stupid, I unreasonably lost my shit about it, and was reasonably blocked. Three years later, I was so excited that they finally wanted to give it a second chance.

Within a week, they showed me that they're a master of gaslighting after all, outright told me they enjoy stirring up shit and actually I'm an asshole for denying them that part of their reality — and you know what, being the one to remove them from my contact list after a three-day-long struggle felt so damn liberating. Learning my life for the last three years has been a lie, but the lie was a horrible one. Simba over here finding out he didn't kill his dad.
