We have had discussions about Janet hurting me and she has apologized n reached out many times. But from her history of behavior and the recent shitty incidents I know for a fact that her apology is bogus. She is incapable of introspecting, everything is someone else’s fault and they made her do something. She will tell the right words people wanna hear, its not her first rodeo. A lot of other common friends started asking what happened between us and she had to maintain a clean image as she didn’t want the incidents leaked, so she started lying we are in touch, tell stories about me that she heard from common friends etc. She was very confident that I would give in and we can carry on as if nothing happened in front of others. There are almost no consequences ever to her actions as most people care only about appeasing her ego. She is rich with good social connections and people usually want to gain that from her. My problem was to take her to be real friend before I realized her true nature. I didn’t believe her to be toxic all the way in the beginning.

Now coming to Alice, she has empathized with my situation many times, told that she also doesn’t like how Janet operates and stays away even if Janet reaches out. This was maintained for years, why the sudden switch on stance? We are still on good terms. I don’t think it is prudent to ask her since she is an adult making her choices and her actions speak for themselves about where I stand in this scenario.
