Hello. Welcome to a new episode of Reddit Readings. In today's episode we are hearing about friends that stab you in the back. Enjoy. Reddit Readings, episode 42. People who have had friends, stab you in the back. What is the story?

Made plans to go see a movie with my friends for my 16th birthday, and planned it weeks in advance. Everybody bailed the day before, but I decided to still go see the movie. Ran into my whole group of friends leaving the movie theater while buying popcorn. That's brutal.

Did you confront them? Yeah, lot of hemming and hawing with no real explanation and no apology. Still went to see my movie, Underworld, and learned a valuable lesson about people and friends.

Sucked at the time, but eventually that lesson was a great birthday gift. best friend stopped talking to me after my dad died. Took the whole friend group with him. Apparently I was too emotional. I was 13. Having my entire friend group walk away from me when I was in such a shitty place stuck with me forever. This was similar to

my experience as well. I lost my father at 9 year old and all but one of my friends ditched because they didn't know how to deal with a person in grief. I'm still clothes with the friend that stayed 21 years later. Hope everything is going well now.

Asked two of my friends if they wanted to live together in college. Then one of them asked another person in our friend group if he wanted to join in as well. Then they asked another and another. And then once there were too many people for one apartment, they dropped me out of

it. No longer friends with any of them was kinda a wake up call though because I I definitely gave way too much of myself to those people not knowing that I was the most expendable one.

It really taught me not to put others on a pedestal and respect myself more and has since led to me developing far more healthy relationships that bring me a lot of happiness. She slept with my boyfriend because she thought she was in love with me. Wack-ass shit I ever heard.

I had a best friend that I knew for 16 years. She got pregnant and her parents tried to kick her out. Her parents wanted her to get an abortion but she refused. One of our H.S. friends told me someone should push her down a flight of stairs so she can

miscarry. I told her that's a very bad idea and defended my best friend. The next day, the principal came by my class to ask me if I could attend a meeting about something important.

If I didn't attend, I was going to be expelled. When I arrived to the meeting, a shared friend claimed I was going to shove my best friend down flights of stairs so she can miscarry. My best friend believed her.

We stopped talking after that. Years ago when I did a health sciences undergraduate degree, most of the cohort was determined to get into medical school. Our medical school program mainly accepted students from only our competitive undergraduate

course due to subject prerequisites. We all knew each other and were friendly, hanging out together and forming study groups. Many of my friends were great. We shared tips, resources, practiced exams and interviews together. But there were a handful who really wanted to get into medical school and since the program ranks applicants, mainly based

on undergraduate results, the better your friends perform, the lower your ranking is for selection. So near application time, some of us would head off to the university library to borrow out textbooks to find chapters or page numbers that the lecturer mentioned would be on the exam and they would be ripped out. You go and find another library copy

of the textbook and that page would be ripped out too. All of them totally removed in a hurry. I didn't believe that someone from our cohort did it until interview practice began. Students began obtaining copies of the questions from previous years and lying when others asked if they had it. I saw someone give a terrible awful interview answer and

the other student would give them blowing feedback and inform them they should say that word for word during the interview. It was a shit show and a lot of relationships fell apart or whenever the same again. I had one friend.

I was bullied by everyone at elementary school. Because my friend would be bullied too when they hung out with me at school, we only played outside of school. One day a popular kid asked to play with me during recess.

I was ecstatic. Until after a while they said you're not as bad as friend said you are. And that's how I learned why I was bullied. My mother told me she was sick of being with dad.

He told me a bunch of things he'd done which made her afraid of him. She asked me to tell a few of her close friends about how she was being treated, because she wanted them to understand why she was leaving. Then she decided to stay with him.

So she told her friends that she had no idea what was wrong with me, but they should pray for me because it looked like I was going through something. My own mother stabbed me in the back. Friend told me they weren't doing anything for their birthday.

On the day of their birthday, photos appeared on Facebook of them out with the rest of our friends. They are not my friends anymore. Fuck man. One of my most painful memories from elementary school was when I saw one of my friends showing other kids pictures from her birthday party that happened the weekend prior.

Almost all of my good friends were there having a blast with her, except me, obviously. She seemed remorseful when she realized that she forgot to invite me, but we were never as close after that. And we were pretty good friends with each other too.
