Friend came round yesterday, I'd been to a social family event just over a week ago and first time I'd seen her since. (She knew I'd been stressing about outfits and looking nice etc)So I got some pics up on I pad to show her.
Anyway the pics I showed her mainly featured me Smileas they were what people had txt me, facebooked etc, and not meaning to blow my own trumpet I looked nice in those pics I actually normally hate myself in pics. But I'd made a big effort for this event lost a few pounds to fit in a smaller dress, had my hair done, spent time on makeup etc.

Anyway I showed her the photos and she just went mmmm! No comment on any photo at all. As a friend who knew I'd been stressing about looking Nice for the photos I though she would at least say "oh you look lovely" but nothing.
Anyway I show her a couple more that the actual photographer had taken and I hated myself In...I said( "oh I look awful/weird or something along those lines) in these" she replied "yeah we all have those photos like that" not "don't be daft you look fine" which is what I would have said,

Anyway no major drama and I wasn't looking for compliments as such but I just found it strange. Aibu for thinking she can't bear to see me looking nice?😉

I think you're over thinking this OP

It was impolite of her not to say something pleasant. And insensitive as a friend. Perhaps a little jealousy going on. You know you look good in them. I suggest increasing your friends and acquaintances circle.

Jealousy. A good friend would have said something nice about the pictures. YANBU.

I'm with Summerswallow on this. I think it's mean and maybe she's a bit jealous? I have had to look at countless photos of various friends weddings with their mother of the brides dresses, friends in bridesmaid's dresses or prom events. Boring as sin - but I always compliment on their appearance.
