I have a friend in my life who was taken advantage of. However when I ask them if they need someone to talk to they treat it like it’s not a big deal and act like nothings wrong. That’s bullshit because they are so scared or light brushes of touch now. 🫤

Like I’m not mad at them but I am really annoyed that they refuse to talk to me about it since they’ve talked to me about other things that happened in their lives.

Yk vulnerability is like consent. You choose when to be vulnerable and disclose things and you’re also allowed to not. I’d be patient with your friend as they are going through a very hard time. I would recommend having a serious convo with them where you tell them to seek professional help due to their trauma

I tried to tell them they should go to a professional but they just have been really cagey about all the details. I don’t know it’s giving me weird ass vibes.

If you feel like you can not support your friend right now because how they are coping with their trauma, that’s okay and valid

Is it? I just feel bad because I don’t want to dislike her but she’s not being kind to me. And bringing it up without telling me what actually happened.

If you’re unhappy then you should leave. Maybe she’s only ok talking about certain parts of what happened but yk if she’s not being a good friend to you, it’s ok to communicate a boundary. Maybe space can help give perspective that she is really struggling and as a friend you can only do/ handle so much
