aita for publicly pouring orange juice on someone
I (20nb) have a close guy friend (22m). We hang out a lot, text a lot, and I have viewed him as one of my best friends.
I imagine you can guess where this is going.
A couple of months ago, when we were friends but not as close, he attempted to get with me. We were in his bed after a night out, but I am a lesbian and have been very clear about this fact. We were both drunk and giggly and then he said hey what if we made out right now. I was a bit upset as I saw him as a friend and it felt as though he didn’t see me as a friend, but rather as an opportunity. However he was really cool when I said no thanks, and I figured he was probably just drunk and that our friendship was more important.
This week I discovered that after failing to sleep with me, he went and told a bunch of his friends an ‘embellished’ story about how I gave him ‘blue balls.’ He reveals a different number of people he said this to each time he apologises, but frankly that is low on my list of concerns. I am furious with him about the level of entitlement he felt to have sex with me, I feel objectified and dehumanised and as though he does not respect me or my right to not have sex with him. He was also one of my closest friends, so on top of that I feel pretty betrayed. I yelled at him and he apologised a bunch, but didn’t seem to understand why I’m upset with him.
He knows that I don’t like it when men objectify me, and he’s watched it happen before. He tried to hide the fact that he had spoken about me like that, and when I asked him if he always talked that way after getting rejected he said ‘fucking hell no’ so clearly he knows this is bad.
The day after I confronted him we were both supposed to go to a uni party. The dress code was black tie, and he was wearing a suit. Even though I was still furious with him, he did not attempt to apologise again or even try and make it up to me, and instead flounced about talking to other people. At one point I saw him laughing so I bought a glass of orange juice and poured it on his head.
He was not wearing the suit jacket at the time, just a shirt, but it got him absolutely soaking and made him look very stupid.
He is now angry with me for pouring orange juice on him, but I am more angry with him for treating me as though I owed him sex and getting upset when this wasn’t given to him. However he is not texting me to apologise anymore and honestly I’m kind of upset about losing my friend. But then after how he treated me I sort of don’t want to be friends with him, I want to be friends with a person who didn’t do that.

does anyone else get super anxious when people use your name when their tone is negative? like i had a friend say “i’m sorry ____ i don’t wanna talk right now” and i just started crying because i’m scared he is upset with me but ofc i’m leaving him alone since that’s what he wants, i’m just so paranoid he’s upset with me.. and people being upset with me is one of my biggest triggers

Real talk tho I don’t think we’re actually going to get anywhere in terms of destigmatizing mental illness until we start accepting that A) some mentally ill people really are not fully in control of their actions and this does not make them monsters bc they are not actively choosing to hurt others, and B) that does not mean that you are obligated to take shit from them bc you’re foremost obligation is to protect yourself, and bc there are shitty ppl out there who will feign being out of control so that they can get away w hurting you w/out suffering any of the natural repercussions that come w acting like a jerkoff. Also! Bc that person who really was out of control does not really want you to put yourself in the line of fire for them, bc they don’t really want to hurt you! And I think of these things are really hard for ppl to come to terms w bc it’s a lot harder to feel in control of a situation when there is no one person to blame, then it just feels really doomy and like there is no right response, which there really isn’t on an individual level, bc the reality is that the only constructive response to any of this is for the system to stop making it impossible for ppl to get the help they need, which… isn’t going to happen anytime soon :(

Damn your ass really out there again supporting transphobic content creators after everything. What happened to your apology tour for hating on fem Luke? Nah we back and liking the terfy authors shit again because you are the fucking worst. Please find a single principle
So no joke my notification just showed "Damn your ass..." as the preview to this note 😂 As I've mentioned to other anons (or maybe you again?? starting to wonder), I'm going to answer by flirting with y'all now.
So heyyy, don't be shy anon, it sounds like you've been hanging on my every word of late instead of blocking and moving on like I suggested so you MUST want a piece of this ass 😘🥰💕✨
though i honestly don't know which creator or which post you're referring to, we clearly have very different definitions of what transphobia and good principles are, so there's no point in discussion at all. sorry babe, i don't think this is going to work out--time to move on 💔😞
