'AITA for getting a better haircut than my friend?': Woman divides friend group over bizarre accusations that her new hairdo makes her an 'attention seeker'

This friend group sounds utterly exhausting to be around. 

Friend groups can form at any point in life — during high school or college, at an activity you participate in, or even in the workplace. Friendships also evolve over time. Some people just start to rub you the wrong way, or you find that your differences have changed so much that you don't even have anything in common anymore. This person sounds like she's outgrowing her own friend group — they sound petty and exhausting to spend time with! 

In the comments, people advised the OP to find some new people to spend time around. Others noted that it sounds like her friend group might be influencers, and that most people don't act like that. After all, how could she blame her for just influencing her very own decision? 

After that, this safety inspector worked autonomously until a new boss arrived and tried to micromanage them… but not for long.
