Is it rude for an online friend to message your friends?

How would you feel if your online friend went through your friends on social media, and started to message your best friend, opening the conversation by saying you have had a really tough time recently?

I feel like it goes against discretion and it's super rude.

Idk, it's a bit odd. Doesn't matter if they're online or offline. If I tell someone I'm having a hard time in private, it isn't right to tell other people not knowing if I've shared that with them.

I am not sure rude is the right word, was thinking more like creepy. I think I would put an end to that friendship.

Yes that would definitely be very strange behaviour
It is very rude and an invasion of privacy. The only excuse for contacting my friends is if you're planning a surprise party for me and want to invite them.

I never get that involved with people online

If we're just "friends" I wouldn't care. Sounds like he needed to vent.🤷🏼‍♀️

@Peaches Vent about your personal problems instead of their own?
Peaches · F
@Memez You didn't say that in your question.😯 No, I wouldn't like that either.

@Peaches Maybe the way I wrote it wasn't very clear but I said b the opening conversation is about your tough time recently :(

Stalker alert! Yikes!
They need to be taught some boundaries

@angel123 Even when they mention things to your friend you didn't want anyone to know?

That's stalker-like behaviour and a big betrayal of trust. Flags don't get much redder than that.

Yeah that’s super weird and invasive
SweetSeptember · 36-40, F
Very disrespectful!!
I would agree with you. That’s overstepping several boundaries. 😳

Creepy af. They're insinuating themselves into your life without your permission. That screams of stalker behavior. Reminds me of that movie, Single White Female.
