I feel like I am because I know I'm sensitive but anyway ...

I am a very insecure person (getting much better though). Me and my friend took an exercise class together. I had my hair up in a ponytail each week and I always pull parts down (I always have my hair down as it's almost like a safety blanket) - friend would constantly comment saying - eurgh how can you have your hair like that, doesn't that annoy you? it would really annoy me! Even when I explained she still said it.

Or once in the class (it was a hot day) she decided to wear really tiny shorts, I wouldn't have the guts to do that so worn thin leggings instead - and as soon as she saw me she commented saying - OMG why are you wearing those?! You are going to boil.

These are just a couple of examples.

She knows I am not the most confident of people and I just hate having attention brought to why I'm wearing what I'm wearing etc.

Anyway tonight we were discussing what we were going to wear to a friends birthday and I said I'm wearing a new skirt that I bought last week.

Her reaction - "Oh my god, you're NOT wearing jeans? I can always rely on you to wear jeans. If I know you're going anywhere then I know it's safe to wear a pair of jeans"

Now I am being sensitive, so probably deserve a virtual slap. But I don't know ... it just really irked me.

I would be offended too. Unnecessarily personal isn't it?

YABU and massively oversensitive. These are your issues, you've admitted it in your OP. Work on that instead of expecting people to walk on eggshells around you! I can't really see why either of you wants to be friends with the other tbh.

I think your friend sounds the most insecure.
