1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: My best friend's boyfriend convinced her I'm her best friend.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how to convince him. We're really not

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: that close. He doesn't love you, bro. My friend Sophia

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: twenty eight female is upset at me, twenty seven male,

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: for telling her boyfriend Noah that I am not her

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: best friend. I am really lost on what I did

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: wrong and why I am getting the blame for this fallout.

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: By the way, this is cross posted. This is originally

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: from uh T not bff four five six four three

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,000

Speaker 2: Wants to read them like this, drop it leg gets hot.

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: Now, Sophia no and I met due to a common

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: friend and have known each other for the last five years.

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: Sophia has been a good friend and we would generally

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: hang out on weekends with the rest of our friends.

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: Why is this so scarily like? This seems like it's

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: being written about you.

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: I'm so frightened.

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did I do? Sophia also lived in the

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: same apartment complex as me, and we would sometimes hang

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: out in my apartment along with other friends over to

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: watch TV. Now, Sophia started dating Noah. Around six months ago,

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: I noticed that Sophia started messaging me more than normal

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: about random stuff like TV shows, music, It's like et cetera,

26
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: et cetera. Around the same time, we would send memes

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: and tiktoks all the time. She also messaged me if

28
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: I want to hang out at my place after work

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: during random weekday evenings. I would generally say no unless

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: more friends wanted to join it.

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: Okay, so he's trying to create some boundaries.

32
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty cold, Sophia. Yeah, that's that's pretty rough. No,

33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: this is for him, Oh from you.

34
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: I'm trying to hang out with my bestie and he's

35
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: cutting me. He's shutting me down.

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: You're putting the wallop.

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: What Yeah, No, No, Sophia is the one who's trying

38
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: to reach out and op is saying no.

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I said. Of course. On a Saturday night,

40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: we were all at my friend's apartment for a party.

41
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: For a party, the FIA and one of my friends

42
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: left to pick up food, and Noah came to me

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: and asked if we could talk for a few minutes.

44
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: Man, this is hands hand though.

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: Anyways, Noah told me that being a guy, I should understand,

46
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: and he is uncomfortable about my friendship with Sophia. Now interesting,

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: I asked him why he said that, and he understands

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: we are best friends, but he is uncomfortable with her

49
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: always texting me late at night or hanging out with

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: me at my apartment on nights when he is busy.

51
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: He said that he has discussed it with Sophia many times,

52
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: but she told him that she will not tolerate him

53
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: controlling how she behaves with her best friend, her bestie.

54
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: He said that he is getting very serious about his

55
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: relationship with Sophia and if he should know something before

56
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: he commits his whole heart. Whoa the truth is?

57
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: What's the truth?

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: Sophia and I are good friends, but we are not

59
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: best friends.

60
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't seem like it seems like she's been

61
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 2: trying to hang out with him and he's like, no, it's.

62
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: It's giving She wants to get with him, and he's like,

63
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: I'm cool. We can hang out as a group.

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll hang out as like yeah.

65
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: Which honestly, I think, I mean really quickly, what's your take?

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a pretty but I could see

67
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: if it's like like if I was in op shoes.

68
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: I felt like, oh, this is like kind of a lot.

69
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: Might kind of gently put the wall of like, hey,

70
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: like I don't want to like hang out late in

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: the evening when you know your partner's not around or

72
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: whatever for everyone to color.

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, No, I think that Sophia is acting a

74
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: little suspicious.

75
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: I think Sophie is acting a little suspicious as well.

76
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: She is. I said that Sophia is just one of

77
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: eight girls in my friends group, just a number, just

78
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: just a human meat bag that I spend time with

79
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: in the friends group that I hang out with, and

80
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: never have we shared any deep personal secrets about ourselves.

81
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: I told Noah that he has nothing to worry about.

82
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: I told him that I would not refer to Sofia

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: as my best friend. In fact, before she started dating Noah,

84
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: we barely messaged each other. I also told him that

85
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: I never hang out with Sofia alone and that she

86
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: only visits my place when other friends are invited. Noah

87
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: asked me if we ever dated or hooked up in

88
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: the past. I told him that Sophia brought up the

89
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: subject five years ago. More context, I.

90
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: Think Sophia is trying to trying to make something happen

91
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: with Op and OPI's not interested, but she's still trying.

92
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: It's so double wack. She's in a relationship and she's

93
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: presumably it seems we're gonna find out pursuing someone who

94
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: is not interested in her.

95
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: Yes, what are we do? It seems also like she

96
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: started trying to pursue him when she got into the relationship. Yes,

97
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: which is.

98
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: Interesting, Sophia. I'm sorry, Sophia.

99
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: What can I say?

100
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: But what can I say? But I told her why

101
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: I would not want to date her, and we have

102
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: never talked about it again. Noah asked me why Sophia

103
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: would refer to me as her best friend then, and

104
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: I told him that I also find it weird because

105
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: we are good friends but definitely not best friends. Noah

106
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: thanked me for being honest, and the night went on. Now,

107
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from Sophia and she

108
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: was really mad at me. She asked me what I

109
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: told Noah, and I told her about our conversation. She

110
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: told me I was an a hole to tell Noah

111
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: that we are not best friends and how I messed

112
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: up her relationship. I told her I did not say

113
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: anything bad about her and in fact, soothe his concerns

114
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: that there was anything going on between us. She told

115
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: me that they had a pretty big fight that night.

116
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: She had a pretty big fight the night after the party,

117
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: and Noah confronted her about why would I call Why

118
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: would she call me her best friend and tell him

119
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: that you're in my apartment alone when none of those

120
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: things happened. She told me that I should have just

121
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: backed up her story.

122
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: But you're not best friends. Why would he back it up?

123
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: Just lie, Sophia, why didn't you lie about the thing

124
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: that I didn't give you any heads up?

125
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: Yeah? Couldn't you just like telepathically read my mind?

126
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: Please? Why didn't you know that I wanted you to

127
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: lie about this? It's so rude. I know you thought

128
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: you were helping when you told my boyfriend that we're

129
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: not sleeping together, but actually you made it worse.

130
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm breaking up with you.

131
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: Yes, I think it's also funny that Op got or

132
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: Sophia got friend zoned, and then is also being like,

133
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: you're not even my friend, dude.

134
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, not only were you like, oh, we're not

135
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: in a relationship, we're not even best friends. You're demoted

136
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: to good friend, which says that's a Sophia move.

137
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: What have I done?

138
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: And I like totally agree. Yeah, No, classic Sophia.

139
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: Classic Deadly Cat sixty seven says Sophia is a red flag.

140
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: Whould you say that? Well, on the day that my

141
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: tire popped, Yeah.

142
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: It's a bad day for somebody. Classic Sophia pretending like

143
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: a tire fend you know, when it wasn't even her

144
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: best tire. It was a good tire, that was a

145
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: good tire, getting mad at tire for popping after she Classic.

146
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: But I feel bad for Sophia, as I really feel

147
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: they're both cute together and Noah really likes her. Sophia

148
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: has told us how much she adores Noah and that

149
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: they are happy together. Really all right, Then it's hard

150
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: for me to understand why Sophia would lie to Noah

151
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: that we are best friends and we hang out alone

152
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: together when he is busy. Am I wrong to tell

153
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: Noah that Sophia and I are not best friends and

154
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: I should have just played along? I am not really

155
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: sure I even understand why I messed up or what

156
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: to do At this point. There is a pretty pretty

157
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: thick update with an edit thick update. Let's stop right here.

158
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: Stopping first question, Yeah, has done anything wrong?

159
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: No OPI I don't even think o P is actually

160
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: a part of the story. You know.

161
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm a history to tell honestly.

162
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like Sophia was like talking to her

163
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: boyfriend and they had a I don't know, some sort

164
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: of argument, and she just pointed at a random passerby,

165
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: you know, And that's what Ope's role is in this.

166
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, look at this guy. See this guy

167
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: would never do this to me, and then he's like me,

168
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,239
Speaker 1: it seems like this would be Noah's story.

169
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it should be someone who should have come

170
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 3: on read and be like, Yo, my girlfriend lied to

171
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: me about hanging out with the dude. It's like the opposite. Yeah,

172
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: it's like that is exact cheating. It's like, yeah, my

173
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: girlfriend said she was kind of cheating on me when

174
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: she really wasn't.

175
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: Dude. Anti cheating is kind of a banger genre more

176
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: anti cheating cheating.

177
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, She's like, my story is not cool enough. I

178
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: got to add in some drama. You've got a manufacture drama.

179
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know we don't need a manufacturer.

180
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: Is update.

181
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: So I posted yesterday about my friend lying to her

182
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: boyfriend that I was her best guy friend when in

183
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: reality we are just friends and she only started messaging

184
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: me after she started dating her boyfriend she adores her.

185
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: She adores her boyfriend allegedly, and it was confusing to

186
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: me why she would do that. Turns out Sofia is

187
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: a genius mas her mind, and I'm scared. I'm scared too, Sophia.

188
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm scared.

189
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 2: I'm frightened, Sophia. Frightened.

190
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 1: I'm scared of Sophia.

191
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: Something's up.

192
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: There's a plot, all right. So thanks for the responses

193
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: on helping me think why she might be doing it.

194
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: I just wanted to post an update because she came

195
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: to my apartment and talk to me about the whole situation.

196
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: She said some unkind things to me on Sunday after

197
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: I told Noah, her boyfriend, that we were just friends

198
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: and definitely not best friends, as she is trying to

199
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: betray me. Moreover, I also told him that I never

200
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: hang out with her alone and it's generally with a

201
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: group of friends, as she lied about this to him.

202
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: Yesterday evening, Sofia messaged me to apologize for the outburst

203
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: and asked if we could meet and she can explain

204
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: why she did that. I need to know, Sophia needs

205
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: to know what. Sophia's dead.

206
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: I gotta know what I said.

207
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: I told her okay, okay, and she came to my apartment.

208
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: She told me that she loves Noah and he is

209
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: a really good boyfriend. However, he is not very motivated

210
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: and lazy. When they started dating, he was not really

211
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: putting a lot of effort into the relationship and she

212
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: had to ask him for everything. He used to bother

213
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: her a lot. She knew that Noah's last girlfriend cheated

214
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: on him and it took him two years before he

215
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: started dating again. Noah was very insecure about dating her

216
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: and asked her to make sure that she shares everything

217
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: with him. Sophia said that Noah is a great guy,

218
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: but she needed him to be a better boyfriend.

219
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: Sophia's deserved better.

220
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: Sophia's deserved better. Sofia's deserved better.

221
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to write that on a buster. I'm just

222
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: gonna start walking around in the house So's t shirt.

223
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: So she thought she would make Noah jealous by talking

224
00:11:59,400 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 1: to me.

225
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: Mmmmmm, It's all coming together.

226
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: All coming together.

227
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 2: The pecs are aligning, Pangaea is reforming.

228
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: She said. It worked, and Noah started reading our messages.

229
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: She knew that I would not flirt back with her

230
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: because I explicitly told her that I'm not interested in her,

231
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: and so she thought I was a safe choice. Wow,

232
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: she just did pick him out random. This is this

233
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: is this is a game of chess, ladies and gentlemen,

234
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: she said. Noah kept on asking her. I kept on

235
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: asking her why she is talking to me so often,

236
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: and she told him that I am her best friend

237
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: and she needs the emotional support and stability I provide

238
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: since Noah is not emotionally available for her. That made

239
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: Noah start replying to her messages quickly and also being

240
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: more present in the relationship.

241
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: Uh, communicating with your partner masterminding a whole plot to

242
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: make them jealous.

243
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this is bananas. That's wild. Noah also wasted

244
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: his evenings playing video games with his friends and ignored her,

245
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: so she would message me on those days and ask

246
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: if she can hang out with me.

247
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: Doesn't sound like Noah is a good bunny friend.

248
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: I do agree with that.

249
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: I feel like this whole story they've been like, Noah's

250
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: a great boyfriend. Sophia and Noah are so cute together,

251
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: is he?

252
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: Though?

253
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 2: The more people.

254
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: Say, ohways, such a good person, always such a good

255
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: bofore they are terrible.

256
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.

257
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: The more she lied to Noah that we could just

258
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: sit in my apartment and watch movies since he was unavailable,

259
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: and it used to bother him, he asked her to stop,

260
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: but she told him that he can play his games

261
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: and she can have a fun evening with me.

262
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: Okay, and she's totally like and I can have a

263
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,479
Speaker 2: fun evening with ope exactly.

264
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: Noah repeatedly asked her to cut contact with me, or

265
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: at least not hang out with me alone in my apartment,

266
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: and eventually stop playing video and eventually stopped playing video

267
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: games with his friends so he can hang out with

268
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: her in the evenings. She would also lie to him

269
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: about how I cooked elaborate meals for her and we

270
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: had wine and painting nights, which led Noah to do

271
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: the same. And finally, he.

272
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: Buys me flowers every day. Yeah, yeah, he gives me

273
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: ten dollars at lunch.

274
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: He buys me a new car every month.

275
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: He took me on a cruise.

276
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: Finally, she told me that I was an a hole

277
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: to not go with her story and tell Noah the truth.

278
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: Oh my god, the audacity, Sophia.

279
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: Ah, Opie's just an innocent bystander and is being thrown

280
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: under the bus. Dude, like he probably thought, you know what, No,

281
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: I'll make sure that he doesn't. You know, this guy

282
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: doesn't think that I'm cheating with his girlfriend, and it's just.

283
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: Backfired on dude. This is insanity.

284
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

285
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: Oh, no of course got angry at her and saw

286
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: that it was an act to get him to change.

287
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: Sophia was so proud of her latest lie. She told

288
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: Noah that I played down our relationship because I was

289
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: trying to protect Sophia. She told him that I'm such

290
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: a great guy and was just trying to make sure

291
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: that my best friend's relationship was not affected because of me.

292
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: I told her that I was not really happy being

293
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: a pawn in her lie.

294
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: Is a pawn in our game of deception, dude.

295
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: So she told me that it was a genius idea

296
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: and there were no victims.

297
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: Nice, Oh, he is a victim.

298
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: What's happening, Anthony is for o P Please tell me,

299
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: am I missing something? I don't think we're missing anything.

300
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: That's a crazy thing.

301
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: I think we know everything. I think we've completely comprehended

302
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: all of the parts of this story. They just made

303
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: make no sense.

304
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: Ol clarity, and it's just the ugliest picture. She told

305
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: me that it was a genius idea that there were

306
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: no victims. She got what she wanted, and Noah is

307
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: a much better boyfriend thanks to me. It's all worked out.

308
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: This is what the Queen's gambit is about.

309
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: And she will now show Noah how much she loves

310
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: him by slowly reducing the messages to me, which he

311
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: would appreciate, while still thinking of me as a threat

312
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: that Sophia can fall back on if he changes his

313
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: loving behavior. She pleaded me to just keep quiet for

314
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: her sake, as she is so happy with the way

315
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: Noah is now. I have to stop right here. Yeah,

316
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: we need a pull. Uh you suppose or not?

317
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: I think just stop being friends with her fully. I

318
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: think get yourself out of there. I don't think you

319
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: even have to tell Noah because you're just gonna be

320
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: caught in so much more drama. Just leave.

321
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: I think John's asking, do you tell Noah?

322
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 2: I know that's what I'm saying no, I'm saying, just

323
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: leave the friendship. I think that he is like being

324
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: put in so much drama for no reason.

325
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: But is he not friends with Noah?

326
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: No?

327
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: I believe he is, well not.

328
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought they were just kind of like the

329
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 2: same friendship level as I think.

330
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: I think he's well, he started he only started really

331
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: talking with Sophia once they started dating. That was when.

332
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: Friends. Yeah, I don't know. Oh, then I guess if

333
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: they're close friends. If they're close friends, yeah, yes, if

334
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: he's closer to Noah than he is to Sophia, tell her,

335
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: tell him if he's not, just just get rid of

336
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: them as friends because they kind of suck.

337
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: She sucks.

338
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean no, it doesn't suck.

339
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: But he's he's like a crabby boyfriend. But it's like

340
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: that that's kind of like besides the point is that he.

341
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 3: Is concerned, like crabby girls hanging out with this guy.

342
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 2: No. But but the reason Okay, so obviously I don't

343
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: condone anything that Sophia is doing, and she should have communicated.

344
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: But the reason that she started doing it is because

345
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: he wasn't paying attention to her at all and wasn't

346
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: hanging out with her. Yeah, so he was a bad boyfriend. Yeah,

347
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: she shouldn't have done that. Yeah, But like I guess,

348
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 2: I guess it's just a question of whether or not

349
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 2: op is actually like close friends with Noah.

350
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: I My slightly different take is, uh, I listen, if

351
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: I'm in an Op's position, I get caught up in

352
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: this whole scheme. I don't want to be friends with

353
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: these people.

354
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

355
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: And but at the same time, I'm also like, I

356
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: need some retribution for the headache that you've got me

357
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: when I was so completely innocent. I mean, Opie was

358
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: purely a bystate exactly. So I'm kind of like I'm

359
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: going to go back to Noah and be like, listen up, buddy.

360
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: She is literally like, can you just keep up the

361
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: lies a little bit longer so I can like coerce

362
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: him into being a better boyfriend. I'd also probably also

363
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: be like, dude, you you see, like not a great boyfriend.

364
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 3: I don't know, no but yeah, I don't think he

365
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: deserves to be manipulated.

366
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: No.

367
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: I agree either that she should communicate with him.

368
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think you tell Noah. Why do think

369
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: their relationship is Op's responsibility necessarily personally.

370
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: I think if he unless he is like besties with Noah,

371
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: I would just step out. He's done, like he's a

372
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 2: little pond that keeps getting moved and like around by both.

373
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: I mean, Noah is confronting him about it, Sophie is

374
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: manipulating all this stuff. That's just a headache that I

375
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: wouldn't want to be a part of.

376
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: But if you don't say anything, you're almost more involved

377
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 3: because now the web of lies can continue to see

378
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: what you're saying, so you don't even know. If you

379
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: sort of just say it's not for me, then she

380
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: can be like, yeah, on Friday, I went to the

381
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 3: bowling alley with him and he gave me this gift,

382
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: and it's like, you don't even know that she's saying that,

383
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 3: let's say.

384
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: This, this is me, Like I'm ope and your Noah.

385
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: I would absolutely tell you that this was going on.

386
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 2: But if this is just kind of a person that

387
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: I'm acquaintances with, I will be like, I'm going to

388
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 2: block Sophia. I'm gonna kind of distance myself from that

389
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 2: that you know, those two people, and then if she

390
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: texts me, I'm not going to answer anything.

391
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: There there is more to the story. We're not even

392
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: at the UPTY yet. So I thought about it and

393
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: I agreed with her, and this is let me be

394
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: the last sentense. Actually, she pleaded me to just keep

395
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: quiet for her sake, as she is so happy with

396
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,239
Speaker 1: the way Noah is now. I thought about it, and

397
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: I agreed with her. It feels weird that she is

398
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: literally training Noah like a lab monkey in behaving the

399
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: way she was telling him, but at the end of

400
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: the day, he seems to have become a better boyfriend

401
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: thanks to Sophia's playing. This is a curveball. I don't

402
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: think any of us expecting.

403
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: His initial initial thought, just like right after, I think

404
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: he might change.

405
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: I was conflicted on what to do, but I will

406
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: just go with the act for Sophia's sake, as Noah

407
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: also likes her and there's no reason to mess things

408
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: up for them. I would like to hear neutral opinions

409
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: on if I am wrong with helping Sophia lie to Noah,

410
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: as it seems like it has made their relationship better

411
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: and Sophia seems to be happy. Oh wow, Okay, we're

412
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: actually a lot closer to the end of the story

413
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: than I thought, but let's get into this quick at

414
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: it at a number one. After reading the comments, I

415
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: am now inclined to tell Noah the truth. However, I

416
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: feel that he would still choose to believe Sophia over me. Moreover,

417
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: I am worried that he would think I am trying

418
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: to break them up for my own selfish benefits.

419
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: I just think his drama.

420
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: Man, the plot is thickening. I don't want him to

421
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: think that I am her best friend who has feelings

422
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: for her, and hence I'm trying to get them to

423
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: break up or go so Opie could swoop it and

424
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: get her, which I can? I can?

425
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: I could.

426
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: I could see the boyfriend think that is something that

427
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: could happen. Would you have believed your partner's friend if

428
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: they came forward and told you this? Won't you think

429
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: that the friend is just manipulating you into breaking up.

430
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: By the way, guys, we'll have every weekday at three pm.

431
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: You should join us and pap on our profile.

432
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: Join us.

433
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: But guys, I'm gonna tap on your little brains one

434
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: last time. We're almost at the end of the story,

435
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: but I just a quick check. Are we still tell

436
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: him and don't tell him to pick a side, as

437
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: we always.

438
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: Do, operating under the assumption that they're not that close.

439
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: I think that just distancing yourself does kind of the

440
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: same thing as telling him, because let's say Sophia starts

441
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 2: messaging you, you're not responding, and then Noah texts you

442
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 2: like later and he's like, Sophia has been saying all

443
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 2: this stuff, and you're like, ah, we're actually on I

444
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 2: haven't talked to her at all.

445
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

446
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 2: I think that does the same thing, and you get

447
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: yourself away from the drama and he realizes that she's

448
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 2: been lying about even talking. If she continues to say, oh,

449
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 2: I've been talking to OPI have We've been doing all this,

450
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 2: and Opie's like, I haven't seen her in months.

451
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: There's my screenshot of her texting Yea ten times and

452
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: I'm not responding.

453
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: I think if Noah comes back again and asks, I

454
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: think that Opie could then say something. But right now,

455
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: I think, with what he said of Noah not maybe

456
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 2: not believing him, I think I would distance myself from

457
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 2: the friendship, and I think that does the same thing.

458
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 3: What say you, Sir Anthony, I just think there's no

459
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 3: way this pans out well. That's what like, there's no

460
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 3: world in which this relationship ends. Well if you don't

461
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: try to clear things up now, like there's no way

462
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 3: Noah and Sophia go on have a great relationship. Yeah,

463
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 3: that take from it's crazy like the fact that he's

464
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: just gonna be like, eh, just let him. It seems

465
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: like like there's not like say things do progress. Then

466
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 3: the asterisk asterisk is near this uh is over this

467
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 3: relationship with the whole time.

468
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: I think at this point, I'm I'm on the side

469
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: of tell just to like it's basically like like we've

470
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: seen in a lot of situations where people go no contact,

471
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: here's my whole here's basically the explanation and the like

472
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: setting the boundary of like I'm I'm out, and like

473
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: here's all the stuff here, here's what's happening to further

474
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: control and then kind of like go or no contact

475
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: with him just purely out of.

476
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: Selfish because imagine you don't say anything, yeah, and then

477
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: something flares up or it comes out later and it's like, well,

478
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 3: I thought about telling you you need to have you

479
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 3: need to have you need to have the paper trail

480
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 3: of you saying like, remember I tried to tell you.

481
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: Remember I tried to tell you that type of thing.

482
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like m Ray's thing. Maybe I'm saying he

483
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: doesn't have to tell Noah everything, but maybe just reach

484
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: out to know it and say, hey, I'm stubby back

485
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: from Sofia to a speculation, so you can't be used.

486
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: And I think that's you know, Sophia can't attack you,

487
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: Noah can't attack you. It's just saying, yeah, like stepping back,

488
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: which I think still is in line of what I

489
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: was saying of just taking yourself, but then you're actually

490
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: just saying, like explicitly, I'm distancing myself from the front. Yeah.

491
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: And then anytime she's like, oh, well, I'm going to

492
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: go to the apartment, she's.

493
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 2: Like, no, please, it the story, not the TXT. I

494
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 2: think that is my my.

495
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: And John has live text this just but you know

496
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: it is just just in the final edit to this story,

497
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: what maybe we'll see a breakup? Oh my god, we

498
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: have like two paragraphs left. Basically, thanks to everyone for

499
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: your input. I really thought about telling Noah. I have

500
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: decided not to tell him. I did not have any

501
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: messages that would prove that she is lying. More Over,

502
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: I am scared she might manipulate Noah into believing I

503
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: am her guy best friend and desperately trying to break

504
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: them up. After Noah told me he wants to be

505
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: more serious with her, Sophia, I risk losing my friends

506
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: if they tell this narrative to all my friends. Got

507
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: as much as I realize that she is playing on

508
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: Noah's worst insecurities, I do not have a way to

509
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: tell him without risking a social suicide. Sophia's plan is

510
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: full proof. There's no way I can convince Noah without

511
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: any solid proof. I will, however, avoid her and not

512
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: reply to her messages and only interact with her in

513
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: social settings.

514
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 2: She's like a mafia bos. She's like, I can weed

515
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: out that rat literally if you say anything, If you're

516
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 2: a freaking narc, I'm coming after this this.

517
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: Gamer Thrones level like politicking. And that's why I.

518
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 2: Think ops to dist from this friendship, which is I

519
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: guess what he's saying.

520
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna yeah, and I think I'm still on. I

521
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: think if you say it, you control your own narrative,

522
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: whereas if you say nothing, you're kind of exposed for

523
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: being pulled in and who knows what can say about

524
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: you at least you've, like, set your piece and set

525
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: your narrative first before.

526
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: I think I still like m Ray's approach of just

527
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 2: saying yea telling him exactly. I think that's maybe the

528
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 2: best one I've heard.

529
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree, and that's it.

530
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 2: I agree in No further comments, no

531
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: Further comments, no further story.
