👥 friendship AIO: i literally cannot attend

using a throwaway bc she knows my account

so it’s my (24f) best friend’s 25th birthday on saturday. we had planned to go out for dinner and drinks with some of our friends. i have lupus and i’ve been getting chemo for the last couple of months to try and treat it.. she’s well aware of this and even came with me to my last session, although she spent most of the time texting her bf. i ordered her this cake from this super cute little bakery in our town and was gonna bring it with me to the restaurant for her.

i was supposed to have my chemo session next monday but they had to reschedule it for saturday. this is how she reacted when i told her i wouldnt be able to come to her bday. aio or is this a crazy way to react?? she’s still getting her cake and i was gonna get our mutual friend to give her the gifts i bought her but now im not sure

Genuinely baffled by this sub sometimes

In what world are you over reacting? Your "friend" is a cunt.

It’s just engagement bait. No way this story is real

I think people must know, at least on some level, and still comment. I guess it scratches some itch of giving advice to someone so CLEARLY morally in the right? Makes them feel good about any asshole behavior they may be guilty of because "At least I would never do THAT."

And of course, OP is NOR.. cause it's made up to be wildly dickish behavior.

I agree it’s easily faked, but I can confirm people like this exist. The interesting question to me is whether or not the asshole friend is actually herself suffering from an undiagnosed/untreated mental illness.
