To think my friend is bitchy

I have a group of friends from Uni, 6 girls lived together in Year 2 and 3. One of them is getting married at the end of June and I’m dreading seeing one of our group, let’s call her Eve. We don’t keep in touch much, but the last few times we’ve met, Eve has always made some derogatory comment towards me. For example, I suggested we meet at an art gallery where they had some activities for the kids and Eve said ‘this isn’t the sort of place I’d usually go’ with a smirk. Another is that I’d suggested to a mutually friend that she buy a basic pushchair rather than an expensive one, Eve literally looked at me, turned away and said, I’d spend money on a pushchair, not get a cheap one. I really feel stressed that Eve is going to put me down. I’ve always felt she’d looked down on me and that I’ve settled for a life she’d doesn’t think is good enough - but the thing is, she doesn’t have a better standard of living. Am I overthinking? How should I deal with it? Thanks

You're overthinking. I wouldn't give a shit tbh

Thanks - I think you’re right. I want to be able to rise above it

Just smile sweetly and ignore, it’s her insecurities showing

Without actually seeing her facial expressions it's hard to tell, if those are the worst comments they are far from derogatory.

I agree with her on the pushchair front, I found to my detriment that if you buy cheap you buy twice. How did that conversation come about? Was mutual friend talking about what buggy she wanted or was your advice unsolicited?

On the buggy - the friend was asking for advice, it was a conversation in a group WhatsApp. Then Eve mentioned it in real life. I don’t have a problem with her having a different opinion to me. It was the way she looked at me, it felt like she was putting me down. I think we’re just different people and wouldn’t be friends if it wasn’t for being in the same group. I’m thinking of cutting ties with the group after the wedding - we’ve just grown apart.
