    Font - recently, my friends and i went to a restaurant for dinner, where i noticed there was a cute waiter that was serving us. i told my friends, not thinking much of it. throughout the whole dinner, they proceeded to embarrass me about it, sometimes around the waiter, even asking to take a selfie with him. at the end of the dinner, while waiting for a friend to use the restroom, i noticed a friend of mine talking to the waiter 1v1, and i panicked, worried they'd embarrass me again but worse. i

    Font - the next morning, i was happy, the waiter and i were having a good conversation the same morning. later at lunch, my friend confessed that it wasnt the waiter that i was texting, it was my friend. my friend group was in on it, and even made a groupchat to laugh at me behind my back, leaking the messages and such.

    Font - i was so mortified, they told me in front of most of our friend group (as i went to dinner with only 4 of them) i angrily left, sending a message to our discord server saying "f you guys" and went off on them.

    Font - they thought i was upset at being catfished, and while i am somewhat upset, i was mainly upset for being turned into a joke and laughed at behind my back by people who i called friends. 2 of them were my best friends. some of them had said im overreacting, and some say im making it a bigger problem than it needs to be. my family says i should drop them, but idk what to do. some people say im right for being upset, and im not overreacting. aita?

    Font - KittKatt7179 20 hr. ago Certified Proctologist [23] NTA. Those people are not your friends. Drop them like a bad habit and move on. Friends don't make fun of you or go out their way to make you feel uncomfortable.

    Font - JustXampl 16 hr. ago It's a prank only if everyone has fun past the initial embarrassment. This is harassment, catfishing, and down right cruel af to do to anyone.

    Font - COG_Brotato 15 hr. ago . OP NTA. Those people aren't your friends. You deserve better than to be turned into the butt of many jokes by people you thought had your best interest at heart.

    Font - Purple_Mistake6407 - 15 hr. ago 100% agree the prank itself is bad enough but going so far as to completely remove OP form the "joke" as to create a group chat without her in to to continue the humiliation is the disgusting behaviour of people that no longer deserve a place in OP's life

    Font - crystallz2000 - 12 hr. ago Parta: sipant [1] NTA. OP, distance yourself from these people. If it doesn't click with them how AWFUL what they did is, find new friends. Reading this was heartbreaking. I WANT to give them the benefit of the doubt that they just did something really dumb, but I can't imagine any good people pulling any of this. Take a step back from them. Take some time to yourself. Do you even want to have friendships with these people?

    Font - Wrong_Possession_839 OP 19 hr. ago thank you all so much, i really needed the reassurance as ive been called sensitive my whole life. the only thing really keeping me from dropping them is the fact we are all late into our highschool years, juniors and seniors. on of the friends in the group is in college.i see them all daily and itd be awkward for us and the rest of the friend group to be all distant. im dropping them asap. some of my friends are trying to drop me, and idgaf anymore. im

    Font - ktempest 19 hr. ago When people label you sensitive as of that's a bad thing, all it means is that you have emotions, you show those emotions readily, and those emotions are inconvenient for others. Don't ever let anyone convince you that being sensitive is a problem. It's not.

    Font - PrettyGoodRule 10 hr. ago Similarly, if anyone ever tells you you're "too much", it's because they're not enough. Being a sensitive person with a wide range of feelings is a beautiful thing. We're gifted with feelings and understanding for so many things others can't. It's a superpower, not a weakness.

    Font - Birony88 9 hr. ago Parta ipant [1] Exactly. OP, you are not sensitive, you are human. Humans have emotions. Particularly when people who are supposed to be your friends purposely go out of their way to hurt you. Don't ever feel bad about or apologize for having emotions.

    Font - Math4MeMe 16 hr. ago NTA - Yikes, this wasn't just a 'prank' but instead a coordinated, long- term, cruel attack on you. I would have a very hard time being friends again with these people. I am so very sorry that this happened to you. 48 Reply Share Wrong_Possession_839 OP. 16 hr. ago im also a grudge holder, its so hard to forgive, and i definitely dont forget. i will be very hesitant in the future because of this :(

    Font - Nose Fetish 19 hr. ago . NTA, bro what the ft. That's so messed up. Have you always been "singled out" in ways like this or is this spontaneous behavior? Reply Share 26 Wrong_Possession_839 OP 19 hr. ago typically, im usually like the "meme" of the group. our friend group is very big and we are all kinda close, while some are closer to others. ive had memes made of me, ugly pictures set as the server icon, etc. and it wasnt too crazy but sometimes it seemed annoying and embarrassing but i

    Font - FeedbackCreative8334 20 hr. ago Parta pant [4] NTA. Your friends are making a laughingstock of you, not once but over and over. If you want to be like Charlie Brown running to kick the football over and over again, by all means cone back to these friends so they can find an even crueler prank. If you want something better for yourself, go through your phone or your classmates and find a different crew for now and give yourself some space for a year or two.

    Font - journeyintopressure 19 hr. ago A hole Aficionado [12] . NTA. They catfished you and humiliated you in front of so many people. They created a group chat to laugh at you. These aren't your friends. Block them and drop them all. "Oh you are overreacting", no. You just found out how your "friends" act.

    Font - Right_Count 20 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [30] Definitely NTA. This is not normal behaviour for adults. Normal people go "oh yeah he is cute" and then drop it and talk about other things.
