I am currently going through a silent period with 2 of my friends, perhaps now former. I had recently sent a message directed at them to our whole group regarding how i felt about them hitting me for the past 3 years and not stopping or taking me seriously after telling them to stop. I was expecting them to be mature and talk to me and act normal the next day with a good conversation about them understanding to me, but they instead decided to not talk or look at me the whole day. I had asked one of our friends about it because I wanted some outside clarity and she had said that they were both mad at me, I had simply assumed just because I sent it to the whole chat, but she said it was also the fact that I was even officially telling them something. I did send it to everyone to embarrass them since being alone isnt good enough, but everyone knows and sees them do it and me not like it, so it really isnt embarrassing. Even then, they deserve to get “embarrassed” in the mediocre way I have after hitting me and disrespecting me in front of people all the time in school. I wish I had hit them back after atleast the 3rd time it’d happen so I wouldnt have struggled so long. But even now, the way theyre thinking and acting about this, it’s so low under my expectations, it really isnt even worth mending…this is not how friends should act…and they have the audacity to be mad at me
