From Redditor u/Traveling_GrizzlyB:

So, I’ve (26F) been mates with this particular person for nearly a 12 months now. She (21F) was tremendous enjoyable to hang around with, and I did benefit from the nice instances we had, however I’ll admit that from the start, among the issues she mentioned had been sort of off-putting. She tends to make lots of jokes about darkish topics (a few of which I can’t describe on right here as a result of they’d violate among the guidelines), and likewise makes some reasonably pointedly imply jokes too. She has frivolously “picked on me” earlier than (I all the time took it as good-natured ribbing from somebody who’s barely socially awkward), however she had by no means mentioned something that harm me till now. Her feedback and jokes got here throughout as extra grating/impolite, and immature than something.

So, I bumped into her yesterday whereas selecting up dinner, and since we hadn’t seen one another for some time, we stood and talked within the car parking zone whereas ready for our meals. Whereas speaking, she mentioned an entire bunch of life updates about her and a few of our mutual mates that I didn’t learn about but, and that is how the dialog went:

Me: “Oh, actually? Wow, I’m so completely happy for you all! When did that every one occur?”

Her: “Like final month! Lmao, it’s sooo humorous the way you’re all the time sooo out of the loop!”

Me (whereas awkwardly laughing): “Properly, I wouldn’t be if y’all informed me something, haha!”

Her: “Oh, TravelingGrizzlyB, don’t you realize that if we ever wanted to sacrifice one buddy to appease Godzilla or an indignant volcano or one thing, we’d decide you?”

Me: “Wait, what? Why me?”

Her: “Since you’re the one we’d miss the least! Hahahahaha!”

Me: “Wt precise f? That’s a sh*tty factor to say! Is that how you are feeling about me?”

Her: “Dude, relax! I’m simply kidding! You already know you’re keen on me!”

Me: “Even when it was a joke, it sucked and it harm.”

Fortunately, the worker got here out with my meals, so I used to be capable of make a sleek exit earlier than getting pissed. And on the drive residence, I noticed that I didn’t need this particular person in my life anymore. So I blocked her on social media. 

Once I awakened right now, I had a ton of notifications from mutual mates calling, texting, and messaging me, asking why I used to be mad at her. Once I defined the scenario and what she had mentioned, a few mates understood and provided assist, however the majority of others responded alongside the traces of, “She was simply joking, you realize, she has a bizarre humorousness!” I informed them that I discovered it extra hurtful than humorous, and so they replied that I used to be being overly delicate about it and I ought to name her and speak it over as a result of she’s upset, questioning what she did fallacious.

Truthfully, I don’t wish to take care of her crap anymore, however I do know what it’s prefer to say one thing as a joke and have it go fallacious. I are usually a forgiving particular person, so I’m now second-guessing myself about this. AITA for reducing contact together with her over this “joke”?

Edit so as to add (as a result of my mind skipped a line whereas penning this): the rationale I blocked her on social media was as a result of she saved tagging me within the feedback of IG posts and on her story (like far more than regular), and after I obtained residence and checked my telephone it was blowing up with notifications of her tagging me. I used to be pissed and harm, and I didn’t wish to take care of her anymore, so I blocked her on social media. I’ve informed everybody that I haven’t blocked her telephone quantity, and if she desires to speak about this, she will name me, however she hasn’t as of but.
