I just cut contact with my ex-friend “Emma” online, and I’m trying to get over it even though I just blocked her a few HOURS ago.

It all started on Discord, where I met this girl who said on her bio that she was “energetic, caring and a fun friend”. She seemed to live up to it when she asked me to be her friend because she was looking for friends. I found out some things she said (but I can’t be certain that they’re true, IDK). Emma says she speaks English very well because she started learning at the age of 3, but in actuality, she’s German and lives in Germany, not the USA or a primarily English-speaking country.

She told me her birthday was “in October” and I told her mine was too. Well, earlier this month, she said "My birthday was a few days ago BTW” so I said something like “Sorry, happy belated birthday!”

When I told her my birthday is soon and it’s on Halloween, she said she would draw me something, and I said she could just doodle something because I didn’t want her to spend a lot of time just on something for me. Throughout the relationship, she only primarily focused on my mistakes, not the good things I did or the positive aspects of my personality.

Later on, Emma became very snippy and curt, but she wouldn’t tell me why, and I assumed it was just because her mental health was bad because she has a history of snapping at me and then saying it’s her depression.

I noticed that throughout conflicts, she would just either give short replies or even insult me (“stupid, pathetic”, etc.) but I was patient with her. I was always the bad guy, though, and she would never admit to doing anything wrong, but then she would profusely apologize and go on about how she was a mean person and she’d never be mean to me again, but then continued.

Well, she admitted she was being so annoyed with me because she “hates me right now” for not knowing her birthday. She went on and on, listing how evil and toxic and a bully I was, saying horrible stuff to me. I said I would repay her by doing anything she asked because she said I had to “obey her if I really liked her”. I said I would draw something for her, and she said it wasn’t enough, I wasn’t trying nor fixing the problem, and she even sent me: “This is how you repay me? You should obey me and do anything I say you asshole, I do everything for you and this is how you treat me you fucking bitch”

She also went on about how she was “nothing but kind” to me, and wouldn’t accept any apology or any way I could make it up to her, all because I didn’t know/remember her birthday and wished her a few days late.

She kept going on and on, and because I was heavily shaking, I just ended up blocking her accounts.
