Re: Vent Thread
(Anonymous) 2017-10-28 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)Someone I was close friends with as a teenager posted about our falling out drama on reddit the other day...13 years after the fact. I happened to see it because it was one of the higher ranked posts on a popular subreddit.
At first I was incredulous because her version of events were so extreme and full of half-truths that I barely recognized myself, but the dates matched up, and she's kept her username the same this whole time, so no doubt. It's also her highest-rated comment btw.
Anyway, her talking about what a shitty person I was as a teen isn't what bothered me. We were 16. I was shitty, and so was she for that matter. That's whatever.
But what sucked is that I reached out to her once when we were young adults--not really intending to be friends or even acquaintances, but more of a curiosity to see what kind of person she became and to maybe just clear the air once and for all.
I basically googled her internet handle from when I knew her, found her dreamwidth account on page one, saw a recent entry, and left a comment. It was a brief greeting along the lines of, "This is anon. Just wanted to say hi. How have you been? Have you been playing x game?" I had an old mutual friend check it for tone before I posted it.
WELL, her response was to hit the nuke button, hide everything behind private settings, put up some random smarmy gif, and pretend she didn't see it.
I got the message and never tried to contact her again. This was like....6 or 7 years ago, fyi.
Going back to the reddit post, she even brought THAT up, except she portrayed it as me hunting her down just to snidely mock her years later in a fit of trollish behavior.
It's just unfortunate to see her badly twist something that I did sincerely. It also sucks to see just how demonized I've become to her. The level of anger and bitterness she displayed for something that happened over a decade ago was honestly stunning. She really sees herself as a complete victim and apparently has talked and is talking about what a villain I am to this day. And the replies she received about ~what a witch I am~ were also something else.
Of course my first instinct was be like, TAPPITY TAP TAP "well actually," but I know that won't do anything constructive so I'm just letting it go. But lmao. What a thing to just see after 13 years. That's all.

(Anonymous) 2017-10-29 03:00 am (UTC)(link)Are you talking about the one from a week-ish ago? I saw that, and then the comment about me popped up conveniently a couple days afterwards so it's a little too late to do it, but I did think of it. My missed opportunity!!
