Today, while with a large group of friends, my best friend started talking about my struggles with dating and intimacy. I quietly asked her to stop talking about it, as it was personal and I wasn't comfortable with everyone else knowing. Her response? "Um, it's really none of your business." FML

Hey, OP here. I made an account so that I could comment. When it happened, there was nothing I could say to her to make her stop. I asked her several times to please stop talking about it, and I was so embarrassed, but she wouldn't listen to me. I ended up just getting my stuff together and leaving. I'm not very close to the people in the group, so I felt uncomfortable with being so exposed to them. I talked to her afterwards in private and told her that it was really uncool of her to keep talking about it when I asked her to stop. She claimed that she didn't think it was that big of a deal, since when I told her at the time, I didn't say that it was meant to be a secret. I guess I just never thought to let her know that I didn't want her to blab to everyone about my personal issues. She also made sure to clarify to me that when she said it wasn't any of my business, she meant that it was not my conversation to butt into, even though I was literally right beside her. This incident made me realize that she really isn't a very good friend to me. She has never acted this way until recently, so I never thought to avoid telling her things. I do know that I'll definitely not be confiding in her anymore though.

I'd reconsider calling her your 'best' friend

Quite the friend you have there OP. Surely hope you put her in her place and took up for yourself since she obviously has no respect for you! Definitely don't trust her anymore...

so your personal business is none of your business? I think you are right OP you do need a new best friend, with a "best friend" like that who needs enemy's? you are suppose to be able to trust your friends and she doesn't sound trustworthy at all I'm sorry OP.

So your bestie shared your private conversations, disrespects you when you ask her to stop and none of your group of friends step in to put her in her place? You need better friends, OP!

My thoughts exactly. It's really sad that this is happening and everyone deserves better than not just her "bestie," but her other friends too.

I feel like OP misheard or misunderstood and best friend was talking about herself. That would justify her answer.

That would make sense... Hopefully OP will have a talk with the "best friend" and post a follow up for us!

In my opinion this person can not be called a friend.

Sometimes you need to punch a douchebag. Jk... Halfway. I would really consider the friendship if she really has that little respect for you.
