Friend who boasts

[Howfar12]

So, I know someone, not really a friend but you know what I mean, who constantly posts pictures of the inside of their car, jewellery etc. For the clap they had to say that “my estate” all took part. Someone asked her what most expensive jewellery is and she posted the answer on her story. AIBU to feel that there’s no real need for this. AIBU to confront her. What should I say?

I used to live on an estate......it was a Barrett estate......unless your from Glasgow, where a scheme is different from an estate. A scheme being council housing and an estate meaning ‘bought houses’

People's worth is totally separate from what they possess, OP.

I say that in kindness, because at times like this it is more than obvious that the most valuable people are all too often the lowest paid

You don't like her - why do you refer to her as a friend?
Find people you like better and have more in common with.

On my lane - vaguely posh (but trying too hard)
On my avenue - missing the mark
On my road - yep normal
On my estate - common

I know someone who always has to have it bigger and better than you.

You’ve had a bad day in the office, hers was worse.

You had a wonderful holiday, hers was even better.

You paid a lot for your hair cut, hers was dearer.

In conversation if you talked about something she’s change the story round to be all about her.

I just didn’t hang with her much as it did my head in. Don’t see her any more now.

the great thing about social media is that you don't have to follow boring people. So just block/unfollow if you don't want her to notice she has been unfriended.

If she said estate, then she probably isn't consciously boastful! It sounds downmarket if anything.

Cul-de-sac... um do you know what one is? It's not something you'd use to hang any sort of boast on - I don't think there's any social code around a cul de sac - it's just a road that doesn't join up with another one! Not posh! Not 'common'. They're everywhere!

An estate is just a collection of houses all built at the same time but the same developer. It could be flashy executive five beds or it could be council. There is nothing boastful about mentioning living on an estate. It’s just factual.

Her most expensive bit of jewellery is Swarovski? OkY now I know she’s definitely not boasting.

Nothing wrong with it by the way, I have a couple of pieces from them myself. But it’s costume jewellery, that’s all. It’s not even gold or silver.

Why don’t you just unfollow her? You sound a tad jealous.

The very passive-aggressive dh of a friend of mine once described our (extremely nice in a posh area) house as “on your estate” and I was livid!!!
I concluded he was probably jealous and used it as a diss.

Unfollow her on social media. She sounds very insecure and quite tedious.

Does she live on an Estate, Estate or just a housing estate 😂

We've got one of these, posts pictures of her daughters 12th birthday presents. DD getting her first, hopefully of many, blue boxes 🙄

Just ignore her, twat that she is, her boasting just says she v insecure.

I don't get it. When someone says estate to me I picture a load of Barratt houses, which I certainly don't think is something to be envious of!

Why has it upset you so much? At the minute there are loads of these things doing the rounds on Facebook. Just unfollow her.

She said her most expensive piece of jewellery is a “Swarovski necklace that her brother bought for her Pahahahaha!

I unfollow people who make me feel uncomfortable.

For the clap they had to say that “my estate” all took part.

I live on an estate, it's a very big estate, bigger than most millionaires estates. The outbuildings around my pile are numerous, like 400 other bloody houses!! What else do you call a collection of houses?

I think she’ll be safe from burglars bashing down her door (or any others on the estate) to steal a £40 necklace!
