Sabrina Carpenter dropped her new album today. I posted on my private Instagram story (close friends only) about some lyrics I didn’t like/that felt creepy. One of my roommates “Doe”, who LOVES Sabrina, is on that story. Later, I got home excited to talk music (my favorite band also just released new stuff). I asked Doe what she thought of Sabrina’s album. She snapped: “I loved it and I don’t want to hear your opinion at all because it pissed me off! So I don’t want to debate you.” This was in front of another roommate. I wasn’t trying to fight. I just wanted to chat. I felt shut down and went to my room upset. I decided to remove Doe from my close friends list so she wouldn’t see stuff she clearly didn’t like. Her boyfriend “Deer”, also my friend, then messaged me: “I don’t know your side of the story, but [Doe] obviously isn’t going to want to talk about Sabrina Carpenter. That’s fair. You both have conflicting views. I think un-adding someone you call your best friend is a little extreme over an album. Again, I don’t have your side, but I just want you to know you can do whatever you want. I’m just defensive of [Doe] because you’re one of my best friends.” At that point I was like… this is over an album? Why am I getting long texts? Still, I went to talk face-to-face. Doe and I talked it out and made up. I explained I didn’t remove her as a friend, just from the story where I post stuff she clearly doesn’t want to see. After, I texted Deer back: “Thank you for being honest. I didn’t un-add her as a friend, I just took her off the story she didn’t want to see. I can always add her back if she wants. You’re always welcome to tell me when you’re upset, but I’d prefer if you didn’t tell me ‘you don’t need to respond’ when it’s my turn. It’s a two-way street. I just feel like I’m allowed to respond if I want to… but I hope we’re all cool though and that you guys enjoy your Legos ❤️😭.” So… AITA for posting my opinion or removing Doe to avoid conflict? Deer seems mad I brought up his text message face to face. AITA for that?
