Guys plllls

Aaah I don't miss being 13

Ignore her she's fustrated your not effected by her shit. Don't be her play toy.

Ignore. That will piss her off.

she snaked me real goooood. I'm not in the same league of manipulator type. she almost had a threatening tone last time we spoke. emotionally manipulative girls are dogs

>>17733792

Did she do anything? Like what has she manipulated your friends to do?

Or did she just want to get more friends?

She pressured me to give my friends bad advice, trashed everyone and then pinned the blame on me when I was in a rut. pretends to still be my friend. everyone praised her for pushing me out, but i think people now realise shes a bit of a degenerate.

going to follow advice on ignoring and not confronting her. I don't want to be associated with her. a petty leech nothing to offer other than gossip and preying on emotionally immature people.

Sounds familiar. Girl I was seeing, her fatty friend was crushing on a guy at work. Guy used her on the premise of hanging out to start inviting the girl I'm seeing out. I tell my girl what's going on with the snake "oh no anon, that's not the case, he's so funny, stop being insecure". 3 weeks later we're over. Both girls are dumbasses for being naive. One thinking they guy actually liked her and the other for not seeing what was going on. Now she wants back with me, lol long term potential right there

Reminds me of this girl Illy who would jump from best friend to best friend depending on what she wanted out of them. Breaking relationships apart, ruining reputations, ruining careers so she could get her vampiric needs met. Once you stop being useful or she claims your position (or boyfriend) in a social circle she'd cut you off. Months later messaging you in a fake nice way to let you know how everyone is doing better than you and "did you get help yet?". The worst, like someone else's kids soggy diaper.

I hope for your sake this person is just as useless as the girl in my example. Stop letting her in and she will shrivel up and die. If anyone brings her up either act like you don't know her or say you don't associate with her based on experience.

sounds very similar anon. I even stooped as low as letting her think I thought she was was my buddy before ignoring her, just so she wouldn't get off on the fact that I've been pushed out and she temporarily replace me in a social circle i've outgrown. i'm genuinely trying to move on. I have to also control urge to be petty and mean.

Me five years ago would have without a doubt gone the petty mean route. Now I've become more calm cool not giving a fuck. I lost friendships and ostracized myself the former way. Guess I'm growing up

If you are having these problems it could be your judgement of personality is off (you're too naive). Read the book RED FLAGS - frenemies, underminers, and ruthless people by Wendy L Patrick PhD.
