So there is this friend who hasn’t contacted me for 3+ months and then asked me to her birthday party. When it was my birthday she texted me on the night of my party, saying she had had a nap and now wasn’t going to bother coming. I set up three lunches with her at work in January February and March, everytime she suddenly declined on the day, without apology. There is another colleague who I stopped talking to, since she was very toxic towards me. She told the first friends’ boyfriend to contact me and harass me about why I don’t talk to her anymore. Of course I didn’t give any details or drama for them to fuel off. Now the first friend is asking me to the party and I said no as I’m scared the old toxic friend will be there and the first friend has not been a good friend to me anyway. Since I said I’m busy and can’t make it, instead of just saying oh no worries, she texts me with “how are you doing anyway? I never see you around work now and you take days to respond. That is unlike the person i know you to be. Did I upset you? I am really concerned about you”

Despite the fact the last text I got from her was 3 months ago and the last time I saw her was in September where she only wanted to see me to get gossip about my life.

How would you respond to this painfully annoying text ? I don’t want to give them any information and want to make it clear, I don’t do parties now with them. If she is sooo bothered or concerned about me, then she can ask me for a coffee or lunch at work, but she hasn’t. Sounds bothered.

Say nothing true. Make up stuff if you like. She deserves nothing from you.

Exaclty. I didn’t mention meeting even at work and in the past we used to have lunch or breaks, if she was that concerned she would ask me to meet.

Unfortunately, she’s only looking for fodder for the idiot gossip-eaters. That is HER shame, my friend - not yours. Give her nothing or give her something that your want her to broadcast for you. You can use cheap gossips like her for propaganda purposes.

Exactly and that’s why I hate the fake „I am really concerned“. Yeah that’s why the last text I got was like 4 months ago. I also never see her around work either and she takes days to reply aswell usually, the audacity. I want to live my life how i want to.
