Imagine having a friend invite you to join them while they do one of their favorite hobbies.

If you weren’t very good at this hobby but decided to give it a try anyway, would you be upset if your friend filmed your mess ups and found it funny, or would you laugh along with them?

In this story, one man joins a friend for a dance class. He’s not good at dancing and feels pretty upset when his friend starts filming him.

Let’s see how the story plays out.

AITA for leaving a dance class my friend invited me to after he made fun of me in front of everyone?

My (24m) friend (31m) is a very gifted dancer especially with bhangra and bollywood dancing.

He invited me to join a beginners class with him and while this was definitely not my usual thing (two left feet!) I wanted to spend time with my friend and meet new people.

It’s fair to say that I did not have beginners luck with the class, and I looked very clumsy.

His friend sounds like a bully.

My friend then went to the time out/rest area and began filming my disaster attempt at dancing to make fun of me.

I understood it was just a joke but when I asked him to delete it he wouldn’t and just made fun of me more.

I felt very self conscious and decided to leave the session and wait for him outside.

Him not deleting the video after seeing me upset made things 10 times worse

His friend claims HE was embarrassed.

Apparently I didn’t do this in a very discrete matter and people asked him why I had left, and he said he found this embarrassing.

After we got into an argument where he said that if I didn’t appreciate a funny video being taken of me then I must not have any friends and he made further comments about how I embarrass him.

I think the argument had also been brewing on my end as my friend is very critical of my appearance, being working class, how I dress etc.

I think both of us could be the jerk, but I’m starting to doubt if my feelings are valid.

Filming someone messing something up isn’t funny unless the person being filmed thinks it’s funny and is in on the joke. That’s not the case in this story. His friend sounds horrible.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

His friend may not understand how he feels.

This person thinks the friend isn’t acting like a friend.

The friend really is a horrible friend.

This is true.

This might be why the friend claims he’s embarrassed.

Time to find some better friends.
