Often jibes like this show more about her than you. xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01195539977918003393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-89541344418332926372016-05-09T02:10:28.860-07:002016-05-09T02:10:28.860-07:00Would you consider writing to her in a letter or e...Would you consider writing to her in a letter or email just letting her know of your hurt from her words. Sometimes that is a measured way to let someone know how you are feeling rather than via a conversation. She doesn't sound like a friend though to me either.

If she still doesn't get it then maybe she is just too insensitive to be worth it as a friend.Kathy - yinyangmotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11438958678336755752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-29662916363138242252016-05-08T18:40:33.180-07:002016-05-08T18:40:33.180-07:00I am big on communicating.

Of she is a real friend she'll appreciate that you spoke to her about it. If she responds negatively then it's probably time to distance yourself. You're worth more than that. It might end up being the best conversation you've ever had. Just open up and tell her how it makes you feel. <br />X oLeanne @ Deep Fried Fruithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886017636780724635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-23211816379810814352016-05-08T16:41:42.716-07:002016-05-08T16:41:42.716-07:00She doesn't mean it nastily, she just thinks s...She doesn't mean it nastily, she just thinks she's being funny.

At the end of the day, it's not about whether you can or can't change the 'thing' she insults you about - it's the fact that if she has nothing nice to say she really should just shut up.<br />Sending heaps of hugs your way - I know how demoralising it can be when you are working hard to improve something and someone feels they can just knock it down without any thought for what they have done to you. xoxMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-59584387890045775912016-05-08T16:09:52.756-07:002016-05-08T16:09:52.756-07:00Ugh.

I've had so-called 'friends' like this and I tried talking to them and in the end I had to move on. I've never looked back. Nesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06860187504607445377noreply@blogger.com
