I lost a friend. I was buddies with this girl, C whom I play Heroes of the Storm with, and I talk to her boyfriend, J, quite a bit because he's one of the top players and was teaching me to play my role. We're also friends with a third girl, B.

I've always been pretty cool with C; we used to play on a team together. Team disbanded, I joined another team and she formed her own. Recently we've gotten a bit closer, hanging out more. B happened to try to commit suicide, because of some personal issues, and was checked into a mental hospital. So I spent quite a bit of time visiting B, especially since I had been playing another game together with her just before she got checked in. B gets discharged, everything seems great, and then last weekend a bomb drops.

C apparently goes through my messages with J. There is nothing on there where I'm flirting with him nor is he flirting with me. I'm a married woman with a kid; totally not up his alley, so we have a pretty chill friendship. I don't talk to him all that often - a couple of times a week maybe? I know that he and C have their fair share of problems (which I hear mostly from her point of view) but I don't make it a point to ask him or talk about it unless he does. C blows up and starts ranting at me about how she trusted me, but a lot of stuff she mentions isn't even my fault. She says J is nicer to me than he is to her, and never compliments her etc, and he tells me stuff about his day or whatever that he never even mentions to her. Thing is, she's only telling me off about this, not him. How is this my problem? And then she starts interrogating me and twisting everything I say, trying to trap me in a corner or something. Meanwhile, B is trying to be mediator and attempting to get me to see it from C's point of view, but keeps using phrases like how J and I have "something going on" and I'm "involved" with him. Finally I tell them to just leave me the hell alone and stop painting me out to be the third party.

B apologises to me later and I accept her apology; I know she meant well, and I'm also worried about her emotional health a bit, but I don't feel like it's good for her to be stuck in between. J comes and asks me what I said to C, because she told him I said he's borderline flirtatious (totally twisting my words again) and some other stuff which makes it seem like she's using me and "stuff I said" to trap him into revealing more. He still thinks he would like to stay friends, but I feel like C would flip. Finally C apologises and says it was not my fault at all, and she screwed up and wants to lift the burden off my shoulders and such. I want to tell her to go f herself, so I haven't replied. Three friendships damaged thanks to her crazy insecurities. I'm so disappointed.

Also another friend (totally unrelated) who is so not into skincare bought me Shark Sauce for my birthday and a bottle for herself too, after all my raving about how I couldn't wait to get it for myself. Yay!
