And a few more start getting nasty with me. Like I’ve seen this whenever I’ve gotten boyfriends, when I’ve gotten titles or leadership roles in clubs, etc etc.

Yes. It’s hard to find genuine female friendships I’ve honestly given up. A lot of them are in secret competition with you or just genuinely don’t like you. I had a friend stop talking to me bc I got more attention than her when we went out. & another friend admit to resenting me for my looks. it’s always some type of comparison

i’m lucky enough that most of my close female friendships have lasted but i do encounter this issue with acquaintances a lot

I have one friendship that I can say is truly genuine, which I’m happy with. As for others, I basically got cut off by a friend of 4 years because she wanted to get back with her shit ex and felt like she had to “sacrifice her friends” to do that 🤷‍♀️

I’m honestly just really lucky or something bc this has never been the case with any of my friendships whatsoever

I actually have noticed this quite a lot in primarily female relationships. Are there any actual empirical studies on this? Very curious.
