Input: TL;DR at the bottom. 

Recently one of closest friends (let’s call her Jane), along with my roommate, sat me down for an intervention. Long story short, they gave me some **AWFUL** advice about my mental health (lots of pop psychology), and told me I shouldn’t be starting a new relationship (my new bf is nice, sweet, not creepy, smart, no major red flags). Apparently I need to learn to “love myself” and not use a partner as an emotional crutch. They want me to break up with him before we get too serious. In hindsight, I can assure you, they were extremely stepping out of line. They are not the experts on my mental health (I go to therapy, takes meds, I know how my brain works). The conversation got tense. In the end, I made it clear I disagreed and wanted them to drop it. But they kept needling me about it, and a day later I ended up having my first fight with my roommate because of it. Then a couple days later, Jane texted me to say she will have to distance herself more from situations where my bf is around, because my “unhealthy life choices” are affecting her own mental health. 

Anyways, at the time, I let it get to my head, and I started to worry that they were seeing something I wasn’t. They were so adamant. So I related the intervention story to our other friends. Who were absolutely appalled. After experiencing the intervention onslaught, it was amazing to having my opinion about my own mental health and dating life validated. I got caught up it in all, and whoever I talked to about it agreed with me wholeheartedly. I may have shit talked a little. I was angry and offended. But then, no surprise, because of me talking about the “intervention”, almost everyone was super turned off towards Jane (they don’t really know my roommate). I don’t think Jane has realized I confided in our friends. 

Now some of my friends don’t like Jane as much as they did before. We’re all still friendly, it just feels different. Maybe it will pass, maybe I’m just being anxious, but it feels like the situation has permanently altered their opinion on her (especially for one very good friend who lives far away). 

I’m starting to feel kind of guilty. It wasn’t my intention to make our friends upset, I just wanted to feel heard, not alienate a close friend who made a mistake. Should I have just kept it to myself and not dragged our friends into it? Did I make the situation too dramatic? AITA for throwing her under the bus? AITA for not telling her I “blabbed”? Or is she the asshole for giving me unsolicited, awful advice? 

TL;DR: friend gave me awful, forceful advice. I gossiped and told our mutual friends, and now they don’t like her as much
