Mocked what others are wearing? AIBU to be offended?

[Asia98]

Sat with a distant friend and she spoke about her friend she dislikes and in her exact words 'she talks about being original yet her clothes are all fake' and 'you should see the sort she would wear to the gym. If she had so much money why can't she buy a decent top and bottom for the gym. I'd rather die than be seen in what she was wearing'

Now the person she spoke about apparently always flaunts her wealth and my friend was annoyed at that. I still feel weird about her comments and now feel she might judge me and think the same about me!

I don't care for labels and designed. I keep clean and wear clean clothes and for me that's more than enough.
AIBU to want to distance myself from her?

Well you describe her as a distant friend... so I guess you already are?

YANBU... I have no time for people who just seek to drag others down. I can guarantee she is bitching about your choice of attire to a different friend. Spend time with people who lift you and others up.

Those who bitch TO you are usually also bitching ABOUT you this person is not a friend - ditch the bitch I say appalling way to behave

I knew a woman who liked to run everyone down. One day I said to her “I wonder what you say about me when I’m not around”. Of course she didn’t talk about me behind my back! How could I think such a thing.

Shortly afterwards a mutual friend took me aside and filled me in. Not only did she hate everything about me, she didn’t even want me as a friend but couldn’t get rid of me.

Nasty people like that talk about everyone.

This.

YANBU. This sort of petty gossip and mocking people about their appearance and clothes is an unpleasant characteristic of cliquey teenagers, but at least there's hope at the age that they'll grow out of it. Your 'friend' hasn't grown out of it, and there's no point in spending more time than you need with such a petty and spiteful person. And yes, if she gossips about others, she could also gossip about you to others. Avoid her as much as you can.

Pure jealously. That's it.

I tend to change the subject/make an excuse when anyone starts to pull someone else down like this. It's purely designed to make themselves feel better saying mean things about someone else.

Zero interest in this type of conversation.

Urgh it sounds so petty and jealous. I couldn’t be friends with someone like this.
