Aibu here and over sensitive?

My friend over 10 years speaks to me in a way I don't like.
I always feel she's trying to make people laugh with me as the punch line.
I started seeing a guy and he mentioned a girls name to me.
So in conversation with my friend I said "I wonder who she is,I really hope he's not going to turn out like the rest"
The next time we were all out together she said "she was so jealous when you mentioned a girls name " (she was laughing as she said it) watch this one she will be hiding in your bush soon.

Then a time I met her for food and she brought two of her work friends.
"This is Louise,she's a bit simple"
(Then they were looking at each other,raising brows and smirking -pretty obvious she had been talking about me to them )
Throw the "your wearing that?"
Or "do you really need that many clothes"
Aibu ? Am I being over sensitive ?

Not oversensitive. She doesn’t sound like a friend, she sounds mean.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 01/02/2021 09:25

She’s a bitch and not your friend. Delete her from your life

tigerlily20 · 01/02/2021 09:31

She's a prick

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 01/02/2021 09:35

She's not your friend.

Calmandmeasured1 · 01/02/2021 09:35

She is not your friend. Friends don't treat each other like that. I'd tell her why and then cut her out of my life.

SameToo · 01/02/2021 09:37

Wouldn’t want to be friends with anyone who refers to people as ‘simple’ Hmm

She’s awful.

Cornetttttto · 01/02/2021 09:37

Get rid.

Indoorcamping · 01/02/2021 09:39

Not a friend. You don't need people like that in your life.

Dontchewme · 01/02/2021 09:54

With some people she's up their arse,yet with me it's like she wants me to look stupid.
She isn't really a friend is she.

She sounds like a bully. She is putting you down to make her feel better about yourself. You don't need a 'friend' like that.

TheChip · 01/02/2021 09:58

I think she is jealous of you. Either way, she is a bitch and not a friend. Id tell her to go fuck herself

OrigamiOwl · 01/02/2021 09:58

She doesn't sound like she's a friend.

flowers08 · 01/02/2021 10:00

she's a bully, plain and simple.

none of my friends treat me in this way, I cannot imagine any of them introducing me as simple...that's just nasty.

StressedTired · 01/02/2021 10:02

She's not a friend, cut her off, you deserve better.

Dontchewme · 01/02/2021 10:03

@flowers08 that's the thing I'm not even "simple" or any other derogatory comment she calls me.
I don't know why she does it.
It's pathetic

She'll get the shock of her life when you tell her that she had her last laugh at your expense. I'll be very firm with her and let her know enough is enough. I'm not sure if you still want to see her but I'll cut her loose.

Ileflottante · 01/02/2021 10:12

She sounds like an absolute arsehole who tries to undermine you to elevate herself in the eyes of others. She just comes across as a bit of a cunt though. I had a friend who tried to make me look an idiot to a new boyfriend, she was just jealous.

How do you react to it? If you’re taking it meekly it spur her on. Personally I’d bin her off as a friend, she sounds vile, but you could always tailor your responses to make her look a twat. When she says it, look at her like she’s gone off her head and then ask her quizzically why she always says that? Then looking at her with concern, turn and introduce yourself to whoever she’s tried to make you look foolish to. Then ask her again if she’s ok and if she’d like some air.

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 01/02/2021 10:13

She isn't a friend. Why are you keeping someone like this in your life? Next time she pulls this shit, say to her straight 'I have no idea why you are always so nasty to me but I've had enough. Have a nice life and don't contact me again.' End of.

HyggeHeart · 01/02/2021 10:37

Wow, she sounds like a bully. I'd be distancing myself if I were you op you don't have to take this. For some reason she's enjoying putting you down and isn't a friend.

Dontchewme · 01/02/2021 11:29

At first I would just laugh it off but now it's becoming more apparent she just doesn't really like me.

Sounds like she likes having someone around to put down, it must make her feel superior. Tell her where to go. It's better to be alone that being treated that badly.

BonnieDundee · 01/02/2021 18:28

Bin her off. That's terrible. Am sure you'll be happier without that bitch in your life

PaquitaVariation · 01/02/2021 18:30

Not over sensitive and she’s not a friend. Time to drop her.

Beseigedbykillersquirrels · 01/02/2021 18:41

Yes, she's using you to make herself feel better and thanks it makes her look better when in reality she's just making herself look like an immature, spiteful cow and making you feel like shit to boot. Tell her to get fucked.

Piffle11 · 01/02/2021 18:52

She’s vile! Bin her off - she’s no friend. Show her that she can’t treat you like this.
