My other friends said I act different when she’s around. It’s bc I literally don’t get to relax or be the not responsible one. With my other friends we all get to be dumb bc nobody is basically a child.
“You’re my adult I turn my brain off with you” you’re almost 22 no I’m not treating you like a toddler. Lost their water bottle bc “you didn’t remind me”

Also: she asks why I’m not as touchy with her as I am with the others and it’s bc she overstimulates me with touch. She also touches me in places I don’t like (and she knows) such as my face (I have genuine trauma from an abusive relationship). Meanwhile me and my other friends are touchy but it’s not constant 24/7 touch in uncomfortable places, and we all know which friends have a higher/lower tolerance/allowance with touch. She also is upset that the others can read my “signs”

Like when I’m overstimulated, but it’s bc she never cared to pay attention or listen. I can (mostly) read hers but a lot of us also think that she’s not actually overstimulated bc she’ll tell us to stop talking but then play TikTok’s loudly super close to her face. I don’t want to flat out say she fakes it but it’s just weird, she also won’t do anything to help herself like those of us who experience it do (ie ear buds, fidget, water, snacks) despite supposedly having these issues her whole life

Idk I’m sorry I know I’m just ranting but I need to rant things out so I don’t hurt her feelings when I talk to her. But when I’m overstimulated it’s hard for me to verbally communicate it, and it pisses her off, but all my other friends are like “you see her put in her loops, she gets really quiet, she fidgets more”. Meanwhile she will stop you mid sentence and say “you need to shut up now” but then crank the radio AND tik tok…bruh…
