We all have that one friend who thinks they’re a know-it-all, right? But what happens when that friend starts diagnosing you with serious mental disorders? Meet our protagonist, a 24-year-old woman who found herself in a moral dilemma when her lifelong bestie, Naomi, turned into an armchair psychologist. ️‍♀️

Caught in a whirlwind of accusations, our protagonist finds herself at the center of a friendship crisis. With Naomi’s unqualified diagnosis and refusal to apologize, the friendship is on the brink of collapse. Some friends side with Naomi, others with our protagonist. But the question remains, who’s really in the wrong here? Let’s delve into some of the top responses from the internet to this dramatic saga.
