I’m(19f) a first-year college student. I met a girl randomly at the start of college because we spoke the same mother tongue, and we instantly vibed. We met twice in the first few days, and she kept saying things like we were the same and that she’d found her best friend.
After that, I was always the one initiating hangouts. She never asked me first. I waited a week to see if she’d text, but she didn’t. When I asked her to hang out again, she said she was busy with her roommate and replied very blandly when I suggested another time.
I felt the interest wasn’t mutual, so I stepped back. I later told her once that I felt she never asked me to hang out. She denied it, and when I clarified, she just sent an emoji. No real conversation after that.
About a month later, I unfollowed her on Instagram because we weren’t really friends anymore. Now when I see her in public, she makes faces at me and points me out to her friends, which makes me uncomfortable.
AITA for unfollowing her and quietly ending the friendship? Also how should I even behave when I see her in public and all her friends start staring at me randomly
NTA. She stopped reciprocating and made it clear the friendship was one-sided. Unfollowing is just matching her energy
Yeah thankyou.
NTA. She sounds awful. If you can block her everywhere, do that.
lmao
NTA, but unfollowing someone is seen as passive aggressive and you know that.
being right doesnt ultimately mean it comes with zero consequences.
if it were me i wouldve just muted them so i didnt have to see their shit, or they see mine much in their feed.. then waaay later unfollow them if i wanted to do so.
I get it but I was hurt too cuz she just threw me off after being v nice to me for the first few days and I did unfollow after like a month or two
> unfollowing someone is seen as passive aggressive
This is so childish lmao
yeah lmao when the person clearly is ignoring your texts, how is unfollowing them childish
You’re handling this like a grown-up in a situation that’s still pretty freshman-year typical (people overpromise friendship early in college, then flake).
You didn’t lash out, block her dramatically, or make a scene, etc. – you just quietly stepped back.
That’s healthy!!!
Her mocking is on her, not you!
NTA.
im sorry she’s doing that, once you’re in college you kind of expect the childish antics to stop but she didn’t get the memo. just ignore her, and if she escalates (aka damaging rumours, harassing etc) then you report her.
NTA – anyone can unfollow anyone for any reason at any time and it doesn’t need to be justified.
This!!!
NTA, you can stop being friends with someone for any reason, or even no reason. When you see her in public just don’t give her the time of day. She is just seeking attention and if you just stone wall her she won’t get the attention she is sooo desperate for.
