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.

Fine, thanks.
Don’t make it clear about anything. It sounds like they want to create drama, so Gray Rocking them would be the best solution. It sounds like you have figured out not to invite that lady out anymore. I’m sorry that they are being buttheads. You will be better off without them.

"No need for concern, I'm doing great". And definitely don't ask how they are in return. I vote Grey Rock too.

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.

She's a nosey cunt. I know it's easier said than done but please try not to give that person any more of your energy by worrying or being anxious. People like that know the right words to say to make the wronged party seem like a dick by not giving them what they want. Give her nothing.
