Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I have a very close knit friend group of about five people but had one friend that I considered my best friend. We all met only a year ago when we started college together but in that time we have become extremely close. However about a 2 months ago my best friend started spiraling downwards in terms of depression, drinking, and smoking. Now my other friends and I both drink and smoke on occasion but the amount she did it started to be a little worrying. We all tried to be there and support her but she pushed us away. Fine. Like she can choose to open up to whoever like that's fine, but what became really irritating is that whenever we hung out with people outside of this friend group she would insult us to these other people. Talking about things that were said in confidence to her and making us out to be bad friends to her. It always felt like a slap, since we were best friends and we tried to be there for her and all. Then she'd notice that we weren't exactly happy about this and get mad because "we keep getting mad at her and there's nothing she can do that's right". This went on and then about three weeks ago she dropped all contact with me and my other friends. We were dead to her overnight, and she immediately spread lies about us to any mutual friends that we had. I was honestly devastated about this.

Now she says she wants to have a talk and see if we can get things back on track, but frankly I don't want to get things back on track. I frankly don't want to be friends with her again. My other friends think it's a good idea though, AITA?
