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

guitarki tells us more.

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 struggles with dating and intimacy isn't your business? Wow, she's rude. Or maybe that's her auto-response working.

no true best friend tells your secrets.

Well she's clearly special. I wouldn't tell her anything that you don't want other to know anymore

It sucks when you invest time into growing a friendship with someone only to find they weren't worth it, it has happened to me before. At least it made me fully appreciate the friends who'd never pull a stunt like that!

Wow, okay your friend needs a reality check, it's all your business

"Excuse me, that's my (*******) line, (asshole)" would be the response, with the profanity either said of implied with scathing tone and expression.

If you do speak to her again in the future tell her complete bullshit, so that way if she decides to be a **** and talk about you to others in front of you, you can call her out "um, why are you telling lies about me"?

my last moveeee is to unfriend youuuu

I would respond by telling them secrets about her and then when she freaks out tell her it's none of her business.
