I feel like a right cow, but I'm kind of fed up of them.
I've got one 'friend' who acts incredibly superior all the time (we had people over including her on Saturday night, she said something, I responded and she said in a tone, "Yes that is what I was getting at"). She's frequently weirdly guarded (me: how is your garden doing? her: stare.... Good... stare). She has a thing about this other friend we have. I think she thinks because he is having a tough time (he is, we've chatted about it) everyone should do more about it, but not her. How she deals with this is demanding that he is invited to everything I arrange, even if I've asked him and he's said no already. Another example is a few weeks ago I had friends over, and baked a cake. It had been his birthday recently (no, birthdays are not something he or I do anything for for each other) but when she saw the cake she insistently whispered that it should be his birthday cake. Ok lady, you want to do something - YOU DO IT. Oh, if I ask my fiance a question every now and again she'll interrupt to answer first. For example, we were out for drinks once and went to a gin bar where you order gin, tonic, and the spice/herbs to go in it. My fiance ordered some complicated gin-tonic-combination I got to the bar and had a mind blank. I went back to the group and asked him for his order. She pipes up with the type of tonic he ordered before he had a chance to respond and then giggled at him. Ugh. She once acted mildly shocked that I didn't know something minor about another friend (it was a game he plays with his daughter) I'm just.... done with the tones, the guardedness, the bossiness... maybe she's reacting to me giving her stink eye all the time, but then she keeps behaving like a berk.
There's the friend of my fiance and I (that my fiance is closer to and has spent a lot of time defending for his various berkish actions and behaviour) that told me I could do better than my fiance.
There's the friend who calls my fiance stupid and engaging in conversation with him is like getting blood out of a stone.
There's the friend who generally acts like everyone around him is a mild inconvenience and immature compared to him.
There's the friend who agrees to do something and then ghosts. Every single time
I'm sure I'm coming across like a terrible person, but I'm just done with the tension they create. I just want to spend my time with positive people who don't have an undercurrent of snipiness and frustration to how they behave.
