This was.... A disappointing article, to say the least

Snitching. A secret stays a secret stays a secret. Also, if you state the conditions under which you feel able to share some information, the other one agrees, but brakes this by sharing with other people anyway, there even is the possibility to get this officially punished in germany. So, if your Ma gets to know whatever I'm fracking up right now, see you in court, AH! I know this is hardly provable by a court's standard, but the entire hassle they'd go through, then, just serves a snitch right.

I'd have to say getting you interested in doing something and bailing at the last moment, like this article.

Is there a term for the kind of ghosting where the person reduces the friendship to texting, suggests catching up (multiple times), then either bails every time you make plans because they are always too busy, then texts you a few weeks later to say “hi, I’ve been soooooo busy! We must catch up soon!!!” (multiple times, usually text all in caps, because that makes it look like you are super-busy, right?). Looking at you Fiona-unfriended you on social media as well, as one of us had to end the friendship. Bwahahahaha….

https://www.boredpanda.com/entitled-friends-choosing-beggars/ That's the definition of a bad friend.

1. Being too frightened to end a friendship that no longer works. 2. Being invited to a friend's party and ignored... by the friend. 3. All of their friends feeling free to belittle you about aspects of your life you've certainly never told them about because (a) you don't know them very well and (b) you hardly see them 🤔 4. Sensing that sharing good news with your friend would be bad news. 5. Dreading hanging out with them and making excuses not to. 6. Feeling fake and strained when you speak to them on the phone. 7. Buttering them up. 8. Pretending to laugh along when they 'joke around' and insult you. 9. Feeling isolated and lonely if you go out as a group. 10. You consciously stop sharing info about your life. Can't think of anymore (hence the edit) but there must be loads more. All of the above I've experienced from one person. A toxic friendship is no joke and can be harder to break than a relationship. One more: 11 Working out how many weeks/months you can go without seeing them.
