This is so true, and I see quite a bit of this online.
I’m not going to tell people who they can and can’t be friends with because that is high school bullshit.If you truly don’t like someone maybe it’s time to go through your friends list and do some pruning. You like someone but disagree with them on fundamental things(like politics and religion just to name a few things.) I don’t care what religion you are but when you try to push it on people(which happened to a friend of mine..a mutual friend got butt hurt when my friend decided that she was not going to go with their religion.
See also:the person who had(up until that time) been fairly friendly with me.Until the day that I said that I was thinking about becoming vegetarian part time.I have no idea why but this set.her.off. I’ve talked about this before but this was at a time when vegetarian food was not as good as it is now. I told her that she was being ridiculous and told her so.I was rather unkind,I fully admit to that.
As I said before I do not like the subtle(and not so subtle) bullying that I have run into over the years. Eventually those people fade away(I can think of an example from the Hannibal fandom..eventually she disappeared and turned up in another fandom and did the same thing and got upset when people did not want to play along.She referred to herself as the “tugboat” of one of the fandoms that she was in. That made me roll my eyes so hard and I was far from the only person that was annoyed by her. I could name a ton of examples from my life and we’d be here for ages.
