How would you feel if you found out your best friend shared screenshots of a heartfelt private message that you wrote to her?

Need more info. Did she do it as an appreciation post type thing? Did you tell her it was private?
No :(
You know the way she shows screenshots. Was it OmG look at this, or was it ‘basically this is where she’s at right now’
Nah, I think like 90% of the time screenshots are shared for no other reason than to gossip. As a general rule of thumb, I think it's really poor form.
The only time I can think of where this is okay is if the screenshot was shared out of concern for the senders mental health and/or physical safety. I could also understand if the screenshot was shared from a place of love, eg, "read this text my besty sent me, isn't it sweet?!".
I would feel like they aren't who I thought they were and that would be the end of the friendship or at least a close friendship as trust would be gone. In my experience the only people who share screenshots are looking to cause trouble. To gossip or to "dob". Sometimes it might be used innocently but you say it was heartfelt and personal, I wouldn't trust her.
It would be byeeee ✂️✂️✂️
Totally depends on circumstances and whether her intent was kind
If she can’t show you the message thread for context then she’s done wrong by you. How do you know she’s done that?
Because she sent to me in error first
Any comment with the screenshot?
Why would she screenshot? No that’s hella weird and probably not your real friend.
Oh my god, all these people saying no! My friends and I shared stuff about each other all the time. Usually it’s just when one is being a a self absorbed idiot or drunk messaging to intentionally push buttons. Never serious stuff, anything personal is off limits, but if you can’t vent about your best friend to your other best friend (and vice versa) by us using highly accurate screen shots…..what kind of world do we live in?! 😂
