Dilemma on cutting out friends from school.

A close friend/ex-sister figure and an ex-friend started a relationship behind another friend's back. I eventually told the friend because I felt guilty keeping it secret. Afterward, I learned the ex-friend had been talking about me behind my back, which led me to distance myself from both of them.

When the situation came to a head, I tried to handle things privately, but I was criticized and pressured during the conflict. Arguments escalated, including public call-out posts on social media, and I reacted emotionally instead of stepping away. As a result, I cut contact with both people and haven't spoken to them for about two months.

More recently, I received a school report involving a personal poem that I never knowingly shared with them, which made me worry about my privacy and feel uncomfortable expressing my true feelings. Since then, I've felt stuck between moving on and reconnecting, especially because I'm afraid this situation could affect my future goals, including college. I'm trying to decide whether it's healthier to let them back into my life or finally move on.

Only you can make that choice 🧡

But let focus be on your future goals not on people who didn't have your back in the first place!
