This is pure playground but I need some advice. An NCT ‘friend’ of 5 years is making meet-ups stressful. She’s obsessed with making sure she knows everyone in town and what they’re up to. Seems to fear missing out on ANYTHING. Also big on pecking order. (I wouldn’t bother but DD(4) likes her DD and other offspring in group). One-to-one she’s fine. But if anyone else enters the fray I’m treated like poo and it’s made very clear I’m last choice. Normally I manage to ignore it and concentrate on DD having fun.
Yesterday she was so blatant it got to me. Specifically - I felt let down that my supposed good friend (SGF) who was yesterday’s suck-up target facilitated the rudeness and didn’t throw me a lifeline, even though we’ve talked about how rude this is. (Presumably for fear of getting the cold treatment that I get?). I was ignored for a large chunk of the afternoon. Feel crappy. I even texted SGF halfway through the arvo to say ‘aagh, getting fed up now’ and no reply. SGF doesn’t even like this woman and still didn’t show me any support/compassion. Meh.
