She Asked My Boyfriend For Arm Tickles | Punters Am I The A-Hole Part 2

[upbeat music] Birthday camping and the friendship hunger games.

Oh, fuck, I love The Hunger Games.

Especially when you're camping, so relatable.

I know, right? "I need to vent, because even though it's too late for advice, the sheer toxicity of this situation still blows my mind.

I was part of a tight-knit high school friend group, five girls and a group of guys.

Within our girl group, there was a clear, there were clear dynamic pairs, but overall, we were all inseparable.

That was until Easter.

A few of us were hanging out and decided to plan a long weekend camping trip.

Excitedly, I posed the idea in our main friendship group chat." Sorry, "I posted the idea in our ma- main friendship group chat, only to realize seconds later that the weekend overlapped with one of the girl's birthdays.

Let's call her Emily.

The moment I realized, I immediately backtracked in the chat, apologized, and said we could completely pivot if she already had plans for her birthday.

Since my birthday was just a few days after the trip, I suggested a, a joint beach camping celebration.

Instead, all hell broke loose.

Emily sent me an essay detailing how deeply I'd hurt her.

I'd apologized profusely, but again, the damage was already done.

Soon, total radio silence set in.

The girls started acting cold and distant.

Planned hangouts suddenly fell through while secret group chats and uninvites started happening behind my back.

Emily refused to even acknowledge my messages.

Then came the full execution.

Emily systematically turned the entire group against me, including girls outside of our circle and one girl I considered an absolute best friend.

It got so malicious that Emily invited my boyfriend to events at her house while explicitly-"

Ugh

... "excluding me." Fuck, that's brutal.

That's so heavy.
