Hi! going to leave out identifying details about ages and genders, but i have a friend who’s the same age as me. Me and this friend used to be romantically involved ages ago so you could also call them an ex.

They love rage baiting me and others and they do admit to having a very inappropriate sense of humour. It started off innocently enough like telling me i suck at the sport we both play (basically typical trash talk) then it escalated into personal comments such as that i’m obese and stupid. I’m not overweight or obese, and am smart academically so I took those as jokes. I assumed they were looking for a reaction because they’d often ask if they managed to piss me off yet and laugh. I always laughed along and fed into the jokes most of the time, back when i still found it funny.

Then it became constant, like insult after insult. It also went into a different direction where they insinuated that I still wanna be with them romantically and that i must be mad that they just “used me for hookups in the past” (this comment doesn’t actually reflect what happened in our relationship) I finally told them to stop and they said it was a joke and tried laughing it off. But the way it was said just hurt me, even if it isn’t true. I told them i’m not going to be speaking to them anymore for now if they keep this up.

They said i’ll still be speaking to them because i am very “obedient” i just said “lol” and didn’t reply anymore. I don’t know if this is abusive behaviour on their end, or just a joke/their sense of humour. What should I do?

Hi everyone, I am down 20 lbs so far and am at a normal BMI however my arms hold a lot of fat, i have seen progress in every area of my body except my arms. Years ago i was close to being underweight but my arms still did not look slim at all, it’s like any fat i had left all went to that area and nowhere else. I have tried weight lifting and other arm exercises. Open to any tips or recommendations!

So basically my friend was telling me about someone from high school (she went to high school very far from where we live now - several states away) and how she is some sort of influencer now and has been doing kind of weird brand deals lol (she’s not famous or anything but has a good following). My friend showed me the account on her phone briefly, later on that day i tried finding the account myself and couldn’t, i thought i had the username wrong or she deleted her account.

I told my friend because i was curious if it was deleted and she said the account is still there and this time sent me a link to the account. I click the link and it says “user not found”. I do not care about this person and if they blocked me i am just genuinely confused as to how this is possible. For one my friend doesn’t even follow her so no mutual friends on there. We have certainly never met. I cannot think of any way she would know me. Also my username is really unique and it’s not even my name.My account also private with no posts. I have a profile pic and that’s all. How is it possible that this person blocked me?. I know i’ve never interacted with her page because i rarely go on instagram and when i do i don’t comment on anything other then on my close friends posts.

I’m puzzled lol.

Has this happened to anyone else?
