    Font - r/AmItheA Posted by u/Fit-Association1359 7 hours ago AITA for getting a better haircut than my friend? I (19f) have very wavy hair that is helpful for when trends are happening and it's easy to change it. Right now what most people are doing is a wolf cut or layers.

    Font - I recently decided to get layers and highlights as I wanted something new and it looked great. I got many compliments from other people except for one of my friends "Stacey" (19f).

    Font - When she saw me she didn't talk to me for a while and I was obviously confused but I stopped trying to interact with her because she wasn't trying.
  • 05
    Font - A few days ago I saw her wearing a hat which is unusual as she never wears hats and some of our mutual friends told me that she went to a bad hairdresser and they ruined her hair (the layers were choppy and uneven and the highlights were either too dark or too light, I can't remember).

    Human body - But she was also telling our friends that I convinced her to cut her hair and now many people don't like me because they think I set her up.
  • 07
    Font - I messaged her and asked why she told people that and she responded saying that if I didn't cut my hair and acted like an "attention seeker" she never would have cut her hair either. Then she blocked me.

    Font - A few of my friends believe me but there's a handful that don't like me anymore, so AITA for getting a better haircut than my friend?

    Font - monsteramoons - 6 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [42] Stacey is not a friend. First, she was going to copy you. Nothing too bad there if it's not too common, could even be considered flattering. But then when it went wrong, she twisted it and straight up lied to blame you. Yikes. This girl wants to be you, and she hates you for it. Stay far away, don't let her draw you into her drama. If anyone asks what's going on, play dumb; "Idk why she's upset exactly, I guess she liked my haircut but go

    Font - Dizzy_Negotiation_71 7 hr. ago Aficionado [16] A NTA She is petty and frankly very immature. No one else will blame you for her bad haircut, I'm sure. I doubt they genuinely believe you set her up, and if they do, they're not worth it either. They are probably just siding with her so they don't face her wrath. Embrace that she has blocked you and do not make an effort with her until she apologises.

Her claiming you "set her up" is a really odd way to not take accountability. Obviously you can't live your life thinking about how any appearance change you make will influence other jealous people.
