...I just wrote out a very long and emotional story about what happened, and for some reason Snapzu wouldn't let me post it (it just timed out). I really hope it comes back. I'm leaving this comment as a reminder to check.
We had an issue with the DB server just now, the DB went down for about 20 min or so until we fixed it minutes ago. Really sorry if you lost your post because of it.
I don't feel like typing everything out again, but to still contribute to the post, here gist of it: I was best friends with a legitimate sociopath for at least 10 years. Due to a less than ideal upbringing and very poor self-confidence, I let her emotionally abuse me and treat me like general garbage for over a decade. The breaking point was when she got me black out drunk at a pub and sent me home with some random guy, then told all of our friends about what a slut I was for it. After about a year of no contact, I ran in to her at a party (she was drunk and high on MDMA and acid) - she confronted me and asked me if I wanted to talk. I said not really, but asked her why she did that. She just bluntly looked at me and said she was jealous of me and she simply hated me for it. She had been purposely fucking with me and making my life hell for over 10 years. And I put up with it.
It took a bit of therapy to get past, but I'm getting better. I haven't seen her in years, and I'm so relieved by that. Thinking of her joining my social circle again gives me actual anxiety. I would give anything to get those 10 years back.

Thanks for getting it back up so quickly.
That's okay, thank you for the response.
