23-year-old woman leaves friend's birthday party after friend refuses to open the door and let her inside the house: ‘I knocked as loud as I could, but the door remained locked’

Sometimes friends are mean to you, it is just another way to show their love. Your closest friends are actually some of the only people who can make fun of you and get away with it, because you know they do it with love.

But how can one know where to draw the line? When does it stop being funny and become toxic?

It's not easy, realizing that the friendship you have with someone might not be healthy, and that you may be better off without them. Usually, this realization doesn't happen overnight. It could be after a few disappointing meetings, a joke that has gone too far, or perhaps you simply understand that you feel better when they are not around. Either way, everyone has had to leave a friend or two behind.

For the girl in the story below, the realization actually did happen overnight, when her friend was pulling a prank that was not funny whatsoever. When his girl arrived at her friend's house to celebrate her birthday, nobody opened the door for her. After a while, she realized she was not welcome and left. She also realized that her friend is not who she thought she was.
