i found out through someone i actually trust that my best friend of like 6 years has been venting about my personal life in a group chat with like 8 people we both know. not like malicious gossip but like sharing things i told them in confidence, my anxiety stuff, a rough relationship thing from last year, even the fact that i had extra money that i never made a big deal about. just private things i shared one on one with them.
the thing thats making it worse is nobody in that group has said a single word to me about any of it. but every time we all hang out now i feel like people are being overly nice in this weird careful way, like theyre all handling me. and i cant tell if im just spiraling or if they actually know everything.
i have no idea how to bring this up with my friend without either looking paranoid or completely torching the whole friend group. do i say something directly? do i just slowly distance and let it fade? i feel like theres no clean option here and its been eating at me for weeks
