I was in the pub last night and a friends Mum who was really pissed said I reminded her of her own mum, being disapproving and looking my nose down at people as I was so sensible. I felt really hurt by this and have no idea where this has come from. AIBU to say anything to my friend about it?
AIBU?
AIBU to think 'sensible' is being used as an insult

You both sound insecure tbh but she sounds nasty.
However, you should've pulled her up at the time, it's too late now.

No - I realise it's not my friends fault! I won't be taking it out on him, I'm just unsure what to do as we are all meeting up today.
And I don't see sensible and looking down on people as the same thing, but that is what she equated it as - she said I'm sensible and it reminds her of her Mum who was disapproving towards people. Honestly, I've no idea where is has come from other than I'm not a huge drinker and I once had to firmly say no when she offered me vodka twice and I decided as I was driving.
