I’m currently being ostracized and bullied by a graduate school classmate (and former friend 🙁 — clearly not a real friend) who I’ll have to see for the next couple of years despite this recent revelation and issue (1 semester into grad school…).
Basically, they’re badmouthing me to other members of our graduate class and I recently found out. They’re lying about me to paint me out as being a toxic, mean and unforgiving person (among much worse other things).
I’ve been really hurt the last week or so since finding out because I thought we were close friends but it looks like I was very wrong. It’s made me extremely depressed and it’s been triggering stuff that happened in other friendships and early life trauma.
So if you have any recommendations, I would really appreciate them. Thank you!
