I'm feeling a bit hurt and pissed off by my friend's behaviour. DH thinks that I should just shrug it off and not let it bother me which I've been really trying to do.
I have a friend who is very talented. She's a model, dancer and a fantastic singer. I have the utmost faith that she will get far and succeed.
I like to think I have skills of my own and I actually have an audition for the dance company she works for. Since I got the audition (off my own back, even though she's been promising to put in a good word for ages) she's been really weird with me. She hasn't been encouraging at all....despite how much I've tried to encourage her (helping her out with costumes and makeup etc, liking and sharing stuff on facebook for her and the company etc). All she's done since I told her about the audition is try and talk me down.....telling me I don't understand how hard it is....how will I afford this and that...it's really difficult etc. Belittling my skills and experience somewhat.
To be honest, I kind of feel like she likes to be the "performer" in our group of friends and always has to have the attention on her....and she doesn't like the fact that someone else might also be getting somewhere.
This all sounds so petty, but I'm so excited for my opportunity and I really thought she might at least be a bit enthusiastic about it, like I have been for everything she's ever done.
I'm aware this might sound stupid and like I'm about 12 but I'm quite actually really hurt by some of her comments and her attitude. It's like she's trying to laugh off my achievements while taking a bow for her own (which are similar).
AIBU or is she trying to make me be realistic? Am I being a bitch?
