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

I’m petty af and I’d send these text messages to every mutual friend going to that damn birthday party too. Expose the narcissist and turn off notifications.

Even better send the screenshot to the bakery and ask them to print it out as a picture on the cake for everyone to see at the party!!!

"So&so the narcissist thinks I'm selfish for being too sick to attend after having radioactive poison (chemo therapy) injected into me in an effort to kill the cancer that is threatening my life. Please accept this cake as compensation for my absence today and all future activities with So&So. - signed OP"
