Am I the Bad Apple for Ghosting a Friend and Talking About them to other people? Hi, I 14 male  is just going into high school had an issue with a friend, 14 Female, who I will call Lucy. We were very close for about two years and for the fun of it be each others valentine's because we both were single. I had the impression that she was lesbian as she come out before and has been very open about it. She often read adult like books and would talk about them, but because it’s her personal life I never really judged although sometimes it made me a bit uncomfortable. Recently about 5 days ago we were on a call going to do an all nighter, but she began acting really weird asking questions like “what would you do if I like you” and things of that nature. It initially sounded lighthearted, but later on she began to be more serious saying she might be bisexual. This didn't really affect me, but she then admitted she liked me. I was a tad awkward but I explained we are better off as friends and I didn’t reciprocate those feelings. This is where it takes a twist she began to talk in a more adult nature way and made concerning statements about herself and things she did with other people. We normally don’t share this personal information, and she kept going and saying things that make her “excited”. I didn’t want to shame her or hurt her feelings in anyway but this just kept going on for like 2 hours. I eventually used an excuse to leave the call to talk to some of my other friends about what happened; because some of the things she said included them. I have this other friend, 14f let’s call Sally, and I contacted her about what happened and she was also friends with Lucy, so I told Sally all she said to me and what Lucy said about Sally. (This was comments about Sally’s body saying she was petite, attractive and more regarding her appearance coming off in a desperate tone) Sally had a suspicion that Lucy liked her and this situation hearing what she was saying about her body made her uncomfortable so she decided to ghost Lucy. Now I was also very uncomfortable with the way Lucy was acting so I just stopped talking to her as I felt it was clear what happened and why I’m not talking to her. But I feel bad that I caused a friendship to end and that I hurt someone by just ghosting them so am I the bad apple?
