AITAH for telling my friend her vlogs about her successful acting career are cringey tw.S A

I’m 18F have a friend who’s also 18F. I’m in my last year of college (UK) and am going to university this year. I have been working towards becoming an actor since I was 3 years old. My first has too since she was 10.

We met at my amateur dramatics group she joined when she was 10. I love her sm she’s been my bestie ever since but. I feel like I work a lot harder to my goals than her. I mean she wants it BADLY don’t get me wrong. But she’s been really depressed since she was about 14. I’ve been there for her through it but she used to miss a lot of rehearsals because she was “too depressed”. And would get drunk all the time so young. At 16 we started college for performing arts and she was a lot better mentally for a bit.

Until she got S A’d and was depressed again. She quit college and just stayed in bed for moths. She opened up to me about being S A’d as a little kid and this making her spiral I supported her and said she shouldn’t quit college though because she wants to be an actor. But she was too depressed. She would drink every night over it. And would come to college hung over. So yeah she did quit. The only time she would act is in our drama group.

That era was so good I played Elsa and she played Anna in a production we did of Frozen. She started to make YouTube and TikTok vlogs at that point they were quite cringey but I didn’t have a problem back then. I liked her videos a lot actually.

Recently I got accepted into drama school. She was happy for me. A day later she revealed an acting job she got that she had been keeping from me because she wasn’t allowed to share there would be a new season of this BBC series until they officially announced it.

The BBC for those not from the uk is huge a lot of actors consider that an honour. I told her it’s great and she said both of us are doing so well I got into my dream school and she’s got her dream of being a series regular. It did make me a bit upset icl that I’ve worked so hard and am going through school and haven’t had a professional job yet but she’s got a professional acting job despite not working as hard as me and not getting trained. But I kept that down low and was supportive.

Until recently I’ve upset her she already had a lot of followers on YouTube and TikTok of her amateur dramatics things. But got a ton more after the series aired of her as a series regular on the BBC and they said she’s allowed to start doing vlogs for her social medias. As long as they are allowed to review them first.

She told me this and I told her I was happy for her. And was liking and commenting on her vlogs. But after a while I started to find them cringey. One was so cringey and unserious I snapped her and asked her if she asked to post that. She said yeah and asked why. I said because I found it cringey. She said that’s just what she does. She makes cringey tiktoks.

I said not usually that cringey. She sent a crinegy blog we made as Elsa and Anna and asked if I’m sure. I said ok but we’re older now and I forgot just how cringey she was maybe. She laughed and said she doesn’t want to grow up too fast. She plays dressup for a living it’s not serious.

I said true. But today she crashed out at me. She posted a video where she celebrated hitting 100K on TikTok by saying an iconic line people were quoting in her TikTok comments she said on the show 100 times on set throughout the day.

I snapped her and said “didn’t they find that annoying?” Because it seemed annoying. She didn’t respond but privated the video then and I noticed and asked her why she privated the video. She said it made her insecure that I said it was cringe.

I said I’m sorry. She asked why im suddenly being a hater lately. I said I’m not. She said it seems I’m jealous. I said I’m not and asked why I think that. She said that I’ve been acting weird since she was on the show. And named the examples I said as proof.

And how I didn’t find her videos bad until after the show when she’s not changed her content style. And ive not been hanging out with her as much which I didn’t notice. And she thinks I’m just jealous of the fact she’s doing well and how I haven’t watched the show even just the episodes she’s been in. I said it was just because it doesn’t seem like the type of show I’d like. And she said she’s watched my college shows and one of them was a play she’s seen before which she didn’t like but still watched it to be supportive. And she says she just feels like I’m jealous.

I don’t think im jealous maybe a bit disappointed that I’m working harder than her and she doesn’t seem to be as dedicated as me but got a big break like that. But she’s making it seem like because I find her videos cringey I am not happy for her. When I AM I just idk I find it unfair. Not necessarily because of HER but just because of how the industry is.
