AITAH if I made my friend feel uncomfortable when we were hanging out?
Hey, I know the title is rough, but let me explain.
I, (15idfk), and my bestest friend of all my years on this earth, (16F) are going to a Renaissance Faire on Sunday.
I thought to myself "Wouldn't it be cool if I invited her over so we can help eachother make our cosplays?" Since I'm making a satyr and she's making a..idk.
So, I invited her over, all is dandy until she finally arrived. Headphones in, waltzes into the house. She immediately takes a seat where I was sitting, on my armchair which I usually wouldn't mind, but my back is killing me today since I have lots of problems with it plus I was sitting on the floor all day, since my glue gun doesn't have any space to operate on my desk.
I try to open a conversation, begging her atleast 8 different times to get off her phone, trying to ask about her costume (dark spirit with like..a deer skull thing? Somebody inform me if you have any clue what that is.), trying to be a good friend, y'know?
She either flat out ignores me, or says nah. She almost punted me too, for not giving her my charger when it charged.
She hadn't event began working on her costume, and told me, and I quote "I thought you would have had time to finish it yourself gurlll."
And making jokes about my deadname and how it's a yogurt brand she was eating right now.
I (very politely, still fed up though) asked her "I wouldn't have time, and I told you. Also, please stop calling me that and saying crap like 'ooh, I'm eating you!!!' at a yogurt that has my deadname. If you don't want to call me by what I refer to myself, I beg please atleast use my nickname that literally everybody uses."
"why though, it's very hard to remember that nickname."
It's 3 letters. My user on most platforms is that spammed.
I, fed up, just started ignoring her and working on my satyr costume by myself.
After she noticed how fed up I sounded, cause my voice when responding to her was like..two octaves lower than usual? I dunno. She started asking me like "OP, you watch that series too? I LOVE IT!" and other crap like that. This was around an hour forty five minutes after she had came into my house? And when her phone died.
She left, visibly pissed too and sent me a long message telling me she disliked how I handled the situation, and that I should've been more welcoming.
AITAH? Also, apologies if my writing is incoherent. I'm currently fairly sleep deprived and tired, so it might not be the best, and I really hope you can make sense of it.
