Her Friend Insulted Her, So She Threw It Back To Her With An Epic Burn

It’s unreal how cruel people can be toward their own friends, especially despite it being easy to return the insult.
See how this friend clapped back without holding back.
AITAH for using my friend’s logic against her and making her cry after she said that I shouldn’t celebrate my graduation?
I posted graduation photos from 2 years ago on social media.
I posted a few self congratulatory comments about graduating despite having a learning disability and severe mental illness.
Then her friend got really mean.
My friend said that I should be careful with what I post and I should not be celebrating myself so much on graduation day because not everyone can “Get a degree by having rich parents pay for it” (her words) and that I should “check my privilege” before calling myself a good student.
I said that I have been financially independent from my parents since I was 21 and I paid for my own degrees by working and taking out loans.
She said “Oh, ok” and took it back.
Then she threw a stone after reminding her friend she lived in a glass house.
I said that even if my parents paid for it I should still be able to celebrate myself.
I asked her how she would feel if someone told her that she shouldn’t be celebrated on Mother’s Day because she relied on her parents’ money to raise her kids or said she should check her privilege before calling herself a “good mother” because she wouldn’t be called one if she didn’t have her parents’ money.
She started crying and said that I was being cruel and I said that I was saying the same things she was saying to me.
Here is what people are talking about.
SO jealous! Good riddance.
Right?! It’s silly.
Her crying foul was just gaslighting. Bye!
It was a very good burn. I hope she’ll rethink being a jerk next time.
That’s all it is! Waste of energy.
See you never, bud.
Ain’t nobody got time for that.
