so there’s been a few times semi-recently where there’s a few friends/a group of friends and there’s a split leaving a larger group on one side and one person on the other side

and yet neither side of this split had ever done any wrong to me even if they had done wrong to my friends (in one case they had and the others they hadn’t)

it feels like I’m betraying the larger group by staying friends with the one person, in one case I’ve even been asked to stay away from that one person (where they’d done wrong) but it just… I feel like I’d be betraying that one person, you know?

granted I’m very wary of the person who’s done wrong and in the other cases I’m not as close to the one person who was separated from the rest of the group but it would always sit on my conscience if I dumped them completely for the sake of other people

it’s my decision and my decision alone who I associate with and how much I associate with them
