I was friends with this girl since middle school. But she gets really paranoid if people are mad at her a lot. I'm the kind of person that when I get in a bad mood, or something bad happened to me, I won't tell anyone right away. And because I don't tell her, she thinks it's because I'm mad at her. She vents to people whenever she has a problem, but I don't do that, and she doesn't get it. Welll, one day she thought I was mad at her(again) and she told all of our other friends. Long story short, they all took her side without asking me if I really was, and they all freaked out on me in the bathroom after school saying how I'm always mad at my one friend, when I'm really not! I have not been friends with them girls ever since, but the friend that always thinks I'm mad at her still wanted to be friends again. I don't really want to be friends with her because she really hurt me, and because of her, I don't have any friends! She knew that I told her I wasn't mad at her but she still thought that I was and told our other friends anyway. I'm starting school in 4 days(including today), and I'm a nervous wreck. And I'm gonna be a junior in high school. I really wanna work hard in school this year, but at the same time, I wanna feel comfortable with all of my classmates. How do I make new friends?
Also, after my ex-friend told everyone I was mad at her, people were treating my friend like the victim. But who is really the victim: me or my paranoid friend?
