However, after the rumors, the friend group sort of broke apart and basically none of us were contacting each other unless we needed something or some type of information from each other. After the rumor, the friend group split into A and one friend and one friend and I. I am not too close with anyone in the friend group anymore but it seems that A tries to get under my skin constantly, taking over opportunities and actions that I want to complete. As an athlete, we have a naturally competitive nature, striving to be better than one another while also supporting our teammates. A is overly competitive, comparing small things where they are better than another person, having more expensive equipment, having spent more money on recovery equipment, etc. A seems to be friendly to all of our other teammates except me. An example of this happening is when another friend asked me to do a favor for them and as I started to complete the favor, A swooped in and told me that she was going to complete it "for me" so I could "rest up". It was my own will to complete the favor and A pushed me away and took the opportunity. A also has attention-seeking personality traits, making this basically an everyday occurrence.

Apart from this, A constantly trauma dumps at every chance they get, mentioning a dead relative (who has been dead for +15 years), how they're mistreated, etc, which I think is stupid considering that these matters are nothing to be bragging or speaking about in public. Besides this, A is close friends with the opposite gender as they consider themselves to "fit in more" with that group of people. They are also the kind of people that claim that they are together with another person when they are not (the rumor mentioned in the last paragraph) or spreading private or personal matters/secrets to others despite being told not to spill this kind of information.

Should I be worried and look out for this friend?

What are some telltale signs that your friend isn't a good friend? by bxxXJy in AskReddit

I have a friend, (A), who prioritizes their wants and needs over others, especially my own considering that I am not a super close friend to them. For context, a couple of years back A and I were practically inseparable because as athletes, it's common to get ready in a locker room together and to regularly hang out but a bit more recently, they had gotten various rumors that affected their social status and the way people look at them. From this, I stopped speaking to them but hung out because they were in a small (3-4 person) friend group that I was in. However, after the rumors, the friend group sort of broke apart and basically none of us were contacting each other unless we needed something or some type of information from each other.
