I am really very shy and quiet and find it hard to make friends. I have made friends with a couple of school mums. We went for coffee this morning which I was so looking forward to, and I really enjoyed myself and joined in there conversations etc..asked about them and their families and listened to what they were saying without butting in etc. Finished coffee and they went to the loo..I followed them in to make sure we were all going home together and heard them really slagging me off 😢😢 so gutted and feeling really downSad what's wrong with me?

They're still mentally teenagers. Nasty bullying teenagers at that. Their behaviour is pathetic, and how can such immature women be good parents? I feel sorry for their children.

There is nothing wrong with you, you're an actual adult and a nice person, they're not. Just forget about them. I know it's hard.

Do not be friends with them. Imagine being juvenile enough to slag off someone in the toilets over their weight. Actually friends do not like or dislike someone over their weight, you deserve better friends.

There’s nothing wrong with you and everything wrong with those two bitchy women. I’m so sorry that happened to you Flowers

Exactly this. I honestly cannot imagine this being an acceptable scenario - if I was in a group of friends and one of them started slagging off someone we’d just been with like this, everyone else would just not engage with it - it’s not normal.

These people are horrible, sorry you’ve wasted yore time and energy on them. I hope you find some kinder friends soon.

I wouldn't want to be friends with anyone who cares about my weight or clothes. You deserve better friends than that. Forget them!

MissyB1 · 02/10/2021 16:58

Fuck them! Whether they were talking about you or not is irrelevant, they sound bloody shallow to be slagging someone off for their weight or clothes. Do you need people like that? No you don’t!
I know it’s hard finding friends, but this lot don’t sound worth it.

Spinachtastegud · 02/10/2021 17:03

I agree with the others. You deserve better than this...you should glad you found out now rather than further on down the line so count this as a blessing in disguise Wink

That’s awful of them. There’s no need to discuss other peoples weight at all. Well done for turning it around & starting a plan.

I’m shy and quiet too and I never make a friend either, or you think you have but your the friend they always cancel on. It really hurts.

RowanAlong · 02/10/2021 17:16

Ow, that’s so hard to hear. They sound unkind and insecure themselves. Move on, try again until you find the nicer mums, there’s nothing wrong with you! Anyway, there are definitely quite a lot of very lovely, slightly overweight and comfortably dressed mums out there!! (Waves hand... )

At uni I thought I had really gelled with my hall mates until I went to bed early one nigjt and they had a party in the next room. All I could hear was me being mocked for various things like the apparently stupid things I said. I was younger and more resilient then and the next day one of them was nice to my face. I just said I heard everything you guys said about me. She was mortified. I said they were extremely rude and unkind and no one needs to hear that. They are my best friends now. Call them out on it. Then fuck em

Bonbon21 · 02/10/2021 17:33

Well at least you discovered them to be the bitches they are early on before you invested too much precious time and energy on them...
And now they know you know what they are...
Hold your head high and be you... there are nice people out there who will appreciate you for yourself and enjoy your company ..

Thank you all! 🙂 I am walking every day now and feel so much better..I am cutting down on all the rubbish I have been eating so hopefully my weight will come down and I will feel healthier with the walking. Never talking to the 2 woman again !..my lovely brother has gave me a small amount of cash to get a new outfit next month when my weight is a bit lighter.. I told him about them and he said take no notice and lose a bit weight for myself..love him 😍
