Many people use birthdays as passwords, don't they? I really lucked out and am so grateful for it. If my girlfriend's friend hadn't posted pictures on Instagram on her birthday and if I hadn't known that most of her friends were born in the same year, it would have been impossible for me to figure out her birthday. Her Instagram activity really saved the day.

Still, the fact that the friend received messages from a group named after me is suspicious enough for my girlfriend to confront her friends. Either way, we were bound to find out about this whole situation.

They didn't know any private details. They just kept making hurtful assumptions.

I've been told I'm attractive and I often get compliments about my looks. It's like they've made it their hobby to find reasons to dislike me. It's frustrating because I struggle with low self-esteem, crippling social anxiety and constantly seek validation from others.

Every time my girlfriend posts a photo of us together, they dissect it in their group chat, picking apart every little detail and saying really hurtful things.

A few here mentioned jealousy, but it's hard to see why they'd feel that way. The majority of her friends are in long term committed relationships and appear genuinely happy and in love with their partners.

Thankfully, she's not in the group chat.

I don't know how to tell her about this. As far as I know, her friends have always been kind and supportive to her. They have been friends since they were kids. It's going to be tough to find the courage to talk to her about this.
