Ok Reddit, time to brag. What is the best/most good-hearted thing you have done lately?

Late to this one and it happened within the past year so I guess it might count. So in the spring after getting dumped by my boyfriend I ended up dating this new guy lets call him cloud. So cloud and I ended up dating for over a month and we really liked each other. I met him through my group of friends so he was kinda part of our group. Well my school semester ended and I went home to live with my parents for three months during the summer. We texted back and forth for a while then after not having a phone for almost three weeks I kinda lost contact with him. This was confirmed when I went back for a week to move into my apartment and I still hadn't heard back from him. During the move I went over to my close friends place (lets call her snow) to check on my snek because she was watching him. Something was off and she was really awkward. Eventually she admitted that she was dating Cloud. It wasn't like Cloud and I ever had anything serious but what we had felt like the beginning of a great relationship so I was hurt, confused, and a little mad. She had always made it seem like she would never be attracted to him and why would she do this to me as her friend? Not wanting to start something I smiled and asked how they were doing as a couple. Her face lit up when she told me about the date they were having that night and I could no longer be mad because I have never seen her so happy or smile like that before. I told her I was happy for her because he is a really good person and they would make a great couple. Even though I was happy for her, I felt so betrayed and completely backstabbed by someone who I considered a best friend and by a guy who I had been waiting the whole summer to see again. That one really hurt because Snow was the type of friend who I would least expect to ever do something like that to someone she cared about.

Ok fast forward towards the end of summer. I know something has been going on with my group of friends because they ghosted me out of no where. My ex and I shared the same friend group so I figure that something has happened over the summer that made everyone decide to abandon me and I got the hint since I stopped getting snapchats, texts, etc from them. When I got back to school I go to pick up my snake from Snow. She opens the door and we say hello. She is acting awkward towards me and it confirms my suspicion that we are no longer friends. Even with this hard learned truth we make the usual catching up chitchat, and I still paid her very well and even give her the nice earrings I had gotten her earlier this summer for her birthday along with a birthday card which I wrote something really nice in it. She looked really guilty and helped me pack up my snake. Once everything was done I give her a hug goodbye which she awkwardly takes, then we say a solemn good bye and she give me this look like she feel super bad for me. I knew the truth. I had been abandoned by not only her but the rest of my group which were the closest friends I have ever had in my life. I have never felt so betrayed, abandoned, and alone before in my life. I cried myself to sleep that night. That was also the last time I spoke to her or saw her.

A week later I get a text from Cloud asking to hang out because he misses me and wants to talk. I say why the hell not and hang out with him. So we hang out and he explains that he ended things with Snow and that he made a huge mistake. She had initiated it and he went along and fooled around because he thought that I had lost interest in him because he stopped hearing from me. Also he didn't think she would end up falling for him like she did. I realize was due to the 3 weeks I went without a phone and an additional week or two during that summer where calls and texts where not going through on my phone. After hearing him out I understood where he was coming from. I asked him what had gone down with the group that summer and he told me it was a shit show of drama caused by my ex surrounding me. He didn't know everything that happened because the group mostly kept him out of it since they knew he liked me, but the little bit of drama that he knew was very hurtful. Knowing a small amount of what happened hurt, the worst was the rumors my friends even Snow decided to believe and what they said about me. We ended up having a good night driving around and chitchatting. I realized that I really missed being with him and that we would be good together if we started off where we left off. I still liked him alot. Around the end of the night while we were parked out in the desert listening to music and overlooking the night time lights of the city he says he really misses what we had, I agreed. He then asks if we could start off where we left off. My heart started pounding with joy when I heard this, I was waiting for this to continue all summer, and it was finally happening! However, I told him that although I really liked him I had a lot of stuff going on in my life and that I needed time to focus on myself, school, and starting a carreer. Although this was kinda true it wasn't the reason I decided not to continue things. The real reason was because I knew Snow really liked Cloud and was probably super upset about cloud ending their little fling. I knew she would have been hurt to see that I got back with cloud. Even though we were no longer friends and I still felt mad, betrayed, and hurt about everything; it would have been wrong to betray her and I didn't want her to feel the same sense of betrayal I felt. Despite the shitshow that occured that summer I have no idea what had happen or the circumstances that surrounded the drama. She was always a good friend to me and I just couldn't do anything back to hurt her. I have since cut off all communication with her and the rest of the group. Last time I checked Snow and Cloud got back together and are happily dating.

Still fuck all those people....

Long story short. Dated a guy I liked, got backstabbed by friend, shat on my feelings then started dating the guy I liked. Guy I liked ended things with her because of some miscommunication. Ended up making up with the guy I liked and we realized our mistake that caused us to lose touch. I said no to him because I didn't want to have her feel the same betrayal I felt. now they are dating.
