My ex girlfriend refused to speak to me about her feelings before she let them build up and she ended up lashing out at me for trying to connect with her. It feels like she made up some kind of alter ego to date me and pushed down her own needs and refused to acknowledge that. When she began acting mean towards me I didnt understand, so I ignored her. We eventually broke up after a few long conversations, but we are still in high school and I see her almost everyday. She's in my friend group and for some reason all of my friends have picked her side over mine, when there isn't sides in the story. The worst part is I begged them to talk to her because she was new this year, only for her to try alienate me from my own friends and disrespect me infront of them without a single one of them calling it out. They all blame me. It's exhausting. And it all started because my best friend of 8 years told her something I said in private. About her hitting me.
