TW: IF YOU'RE UNCOMFORTABLE, SCROLL AWAY.
I'm actually posting this pretty late but it's been bothering me for a few months now
hey is it a toxic friendship if they constantly mentally and emotionally gaslight you into doing what they want, make jokes about you being a "bad friend" if you're not into their interests, eventually open up to you telling you that they want to 'end it,' tell you "Bye...", make you believe that they might actually end it, which causes you to send a whole 3 minute voice recording (and disclaimer, I almost NEVER send voice recordings) of you breaking down crying and BEGGING them not to do it, AND THEY THEN END UP TELLING YOU THAT THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY FUCKING SU!C1DAL, AND JUST WANTED TO SEE YOUR REACTION??????? They have some issues that I will not be specific about, but THIS IS NOT OKAY. And as someone who's nearly attempted once (no one irl knows), I'm INCREDIBLY sensitive to this shit. Even the smallest "kms lmao" joke on someone's board causes me to tense up.
