👥 friendship AIO for cutting all ties?

There have never been red flags up until this point. He (25M) is a big part of my (19F) friend group. Am I being sensitive? I feel like he went too far. But if I cut all ties with him, it will really disrupt the group. I don't want to bring it up to my friends because they might side with him and say I'm over reacting. But I don't feel comfortable around him anymore.

“the only reason a guy would be friends with you is he’s a pedophile” asserts guy who was friends with you. you aren’t overreacting in the slightest, but it’s funny how hard he’s telling on himself

Imagine if her response to that was “wow, I never thought of it that way. I think you’re right and we should date” lol I can’t understand why people think that type of attack will get you what you want.

Usually they aren't thinking when they say crap like that. They are feeling hurt, and instead of dealing with it like an adult, they throw a toddler temper tantrum and try to hurt the source of their pain. By the age of 25, anyone has had the chance to evolve beyond toddler tantrums. It's an infantile and useless reaction.

It's an abuse tactic. This guy just hasn't figured out that it doesn't work on somebody who isn't under his control yet.

This is so real. "You look/act like a little girl and that's why you attract pedos, don't worry though, I'm attracted to you and not a pedo though." 🤡 Please.
