I’ve experienced this and I’m SOO MAD. I told my friend about my dream college in Germany and he kept making fun of me and next thing he asks me what exactly do you need to be accepted in my dream university. I then found out he was taking German courses and he told his other best friend about it so that he can company him and they’re both in touch so that they’ll travel together. And when I confronted him he said he wanted a person to go with him and I thought he was talking about me but then he broadly said “I didn’t say that person was you”. He didn’t even want to admit he stole my plans. I really want to kill him right now. I tried to stay positive and think of it that I’m helping a friend, but is he really a friend after copying my plans and then avoiding me. He is also smarter than me (so he’s more likely to get accepted) I keep getting thoughts of him making it to MY dream college and achieving MY dream life, which he wouldn’t think about if it wasn’t me who told him about it.
