Yesterday i bumped into someone i used to be at college with. Ive lost some weight in the last year and she mentioned it. Which was nice. But i remember how obsessed she is with the way people look from when we were at college 24 years ago and she hasnt changed. She launched into a tirade where she mentioned the hair on my upper lip (its fine but dark) saying why dont you get it lasered or waxed off I told her its been there since childhood Ive learnt to live with it. Then she started on the tiny amount of hair on my chin. I told her that im between waxes which i am And it will have to wait. Ive just had to buy new bras. Then she complimented me on my hair. Then she insulted my clothes saying i dress like a 50 year old (Im 41 and i dont) I was wearing an orange and green outfit by Per Una. Skirt was quite long but straight down....it wasnt shapeless. She asked me where i shopped. I said Yours but their stuff is getting too big for me now so im starting to shop in other places. She told me i should shop at Next and wear similar to what she was wearing.....tracksuit bottoms/loose black trousers and a loose top. Im not really a trouser wearer. I thought my DM was obsessed with how people look but this person knocks her out of the park! Then she mentioned underwear and i said "Its a pity there is no one to wear the pretty new bra ive bought for. (she knows the intimacy and sex has long gone from my marriage) and she said "well its the same for me Ive got no one to wear anything like that for either. Shes bloody single That is NOT the same as my situation at all.
Then she moaned about being single. She was like this at college I remember dating a lad and all she could go on about was how "ugly" he was.
I was asked out recently and she kept saying "Is he good looking" Its all she bloody well seems to think about. Sexual chemistry between 2 people is so much more than that FFS! In the early 90s i used to wear a raincoat and when i bought a new coat to replace it she said "Oh you have ditched the trenchcoat. Good for you!
Has anyone else experienced ppl like this? Emotional vampires who just like to suck the joy out of life.
