Ok, so I had these two friends, let’s call them M and S. We were pretty good friends in school. Then, near the end of one year, there was this very very Creepy Girl. Creepy was actually kinda normal when we first met her, so we let her hang with us at lunch and stuff. Then things shifted into M. Night Shamalama territory. 

One day, Creepy said that she had DID. Now, I have no idea what someone who actually has it is like. So I said that mental illness doesn’t mean we can’t be friends. Now comes the weird part. She said that her pharmacy stopped making her DID pills because “nobody was really using them.” Which sounded illegal and kinda like bullshit. But I went with it. 

One day at lunch, she asked M, S, and I if we wanted to see the her other “personality” which for here, we’ll call Creepy-X. I was hesitant but M and S said okay, so I went with it. Creepy sat in her chair, fell limp, then came back to life while pulling her hood up and—I shit you not—SPEAKING IN AN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT. 

Things turned into a big spiral of unsettling, like when she was passing out in the middle of the cafeteria, when I found her notebook full of drawings of Youtubers like Jacksepticeye and Markiplier in bondage gear, when she said that she was an allmighty, eternal being... It was just too weird for me. So I gradually stopped hanging out with them. 

Am I in the wrong just because I didn’t “get” her? Or was she really just a dangerous person to be around?
