I’m 23f and about to begin my last semester of college.
Two years ago I was associated with a group of friends. They’d come to my apartment and we’d have parties and do a ton of substances. They allowed someone who was a sexual predator into the social circle, and after being friends with him for 3 months I learned about his actions and tried to warn others. They sided with him and kicked me out. Eventually he harmed some people in that group and he was ostracized, but I never spoke to those people again. After two years the only person I have any contact with is my friend Bri (22f).
Bri is now trying to invite me to parties but some members who sided with the abuser are going around telling all the newer members that I’m weird. As well as claiming I say weird things. Apparently they acted this way to another person who was brought around to parties. He didn’t do anything but was ostracized and made fun of immediately.
I’m not sure what to think. I haven’t seen these people or had any form of contact with them in literal years. And when we were friends at one point, they’d be at my apartment several times a week and we’d talk every day. Despite this it’s still bothering me 🙁 I hate being called weird more than anything.
