2 close friends of 7 years cut me off, AITAH
2 of my closest friends have cut me and another friend off recently. The relationships been deteriorating for a year but has completely died now.
Started when at a hangout, my friend tried to drink some alcohol, he was refused by my friend’s siblings. He still tried to and I called him out for it. He got in an argument with the hosting family and I called him an alcoholic. I had been saying he’s got a drinking problem for a while and is kinda an alcoholic. He’s 17m, another time same house he asked for beer but was refused since it was 5am and he got pissed.
Relationship got weak after that and I continued to say he’s got a problem. He doesn’t get drunk frequently but has a problem with being refused.
Afterwards, my relationship with the other friend who is also close to him started to detiriate. First instance was at his bday when I made a joke about his ex also being with him here cause her name was Siri and I had turned on Siri on my phone. I felt things get a little bit awkward after that and I on a later date asked him if everything is fine and he said that joke made him sad cause he wasn’t over her. It had been 2 months when I made the joke and the relationship only lasted for 3.
The later problem that put the nail in the coffin was his speeding. He recently finished work on his project car and had just gotten his liscense and he’d speed a lot. One time when I was with him he went 130km/hr in a 80km/hr zone. He’d do this stuff a lot not just with me and I told him he’s stupid for speeding. Later he crashed cause he lost control of his car in a turn while speeding and I called him and idiot for speeding so much and endangering himself and others. No one was hurt but I told him he has to stop cause sooner or later he’ll crash and get injured.
After that he realy began to cut me off and I learnt from my other close friend whose also cut off now that he cited my insults as the reason saying after loosing his car that he worked so long to repair, all I could do was call him dumb.
During this time none of them approached me about the problems they had. Just distanced. At the same time I had depression and was in a realy bad place, they knew and still cut me off in my lowest. I’d have to try hard to get any relationship with them and now no response.
Personally I blame the “alcoholic” for getting realy insulted by me and influencing the other friend to cut me off as well. The alcoholic one is kinda a narcissist as well.
