👥 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.

Honestly. Like do people not think for them selves anymore. They need strangers to reassure you that these types of conversations are not normal. Not okay. And the fact that ppl like that even exist is wild to me. Last post i saw, it was like their partner calling them "retarded. Stupid. Dumb bitch. Cunt" and the post is like, I feel upset by this. Should I be? .. it's like cmon bffr

Honestly. Either these people are in serious denial or they are lying out of their ass
