Friend organised a night out, said I was going, then had to drop out a couple of days before. It was a good reason however she was annoyed at me and made it extremely obvious. I apologised multiple times, explained my reasons and really felt like there was nothing more I could do to remedy the situation.

I rarely ever cancel any plans with friends, so I'm not considered a let down. The night out went ahead - now there is lots of photos on Facebook of this night out with captions that read -

"What a fab night out with the best company!"
"Night out with my besties"
"Had the best time with three of the most amazing people in the world!"

I'm not so self-obsessed that I think everything is about me, but aibu to think this is quite childish and an attempt to snipe at me.

Impossible to know without knowing her. Don't read her status updates for a few days.

Did you post about this the other day?

josiejay · 07/09/2013 23:59

It might be. Or it might not. Either way ignore, ignore, ignore.

People who go on and on about what a GREAT time they've had with their FAB girlies and suchlike are usually a bit annoying in my opinion anyway.

um, I have a best friend and besties, you don't have 3 best friends, you didn't go know you expect her to have a terrible time and not mention the night? you sound self absorbed, I feel like posting in chat when I see FB posts like this "you know what when someone puts something on face book they are not necessarily talking to you.." but the people she went out with tonight she was giving them a thank you to them, she called them besties which is what they are to her! grow up,"

missingmumxox · 08/09/2013 02:55

just realised you don't even discribe yourself as her best friend?

If she posts shit like this normally then you're overthinking it.

I suppose it's a compliment she was so fucked off you couldn't make it, if she's upset that means she likes you, but it'd be unusual for it to come out in such a public way.

But then she made it pretty clear she wasn't happy, so understandable if you take what she's saying in the same vein.

Are there any other undercurrents you haven't said about? Maybe she likes to feel in a superior position to you, or she likes to be in control and will manipulate people to get it? That could suggest she wasn't upset about you not going out but more because her night was going to be spoiled.

Thing is, you think she's capable of doing it which says you're not that keen on her.

I think you are over reacting OP

AngelsLieToKeepControl · 08/09/2013 20:57

I don't think it's an attempt to snipe at you at all. You are over thinking it.

southeastdweller · 08/09/2013 20:57

Has she posted similar comments before?

AnneTwacky · 08/09/2013 21:10

I don't think it's a dig at you at all. You are definitely over thinking it.
