This is so petty. But I need to talk to someone. So I turn to you wise mumsnet people. I was speaking to an old childhood/schoolfriend reminiscing about school and I spoke of an incident where I was completely blindsided by someone I thought was a friend. And she “ya alot of people had strong opinions about you” and I was like ?? She was like yeah that’s coz they don’t know you. You are so wonderful inside out. Here’s my question..Well, if I am so wonderful, why would you say something like that? Why did it hurt me so much? It was so long ago.. why did her comment throw me off like? Was it an unkind comment disguised in kindness? It felt unkind.

Difficult to tell without context really. What’s she like generally? If it’s a pattern of unkind comments, then perhaps it’s time to put a bit of distance between you. If it’s a one off, perhaps she was just being a bit thoughtless, or thought that she could be truthful without hurting you.
