I know I am....but i need a rant

I need a bit of a rant...
My friend is beautiful. She always has been, she's just naturally stunning. She's in her late 40s and is a beautician now, trained in botox etc, but if she's had anything done it's very natural looking.

Here's my rant.

She constantly posts selfies selling things.

Firstly, her good skin was down to juice plus. Oh, and we could also join her team. Then she stopped posting about it.

Then it was some make up brand. We could also join her team for that. Then she stopped posting about it.

Now its some lumi thing. Oh. I can also join her team for that. Shock! It's constant. Fucking constant.

Honestly, I'm absolutely done!

She’s a hun. Just mute her account and don’t engage.

Why does it matter to you? If you're not interested in the schemes just ignore them. Unfollow her posts if you can't skip over them

Mute her
Job done
It would irritate me too but each to their own

TheActualDevil · 05/07/2023 08:34

Unfollow her. People like that drive me potty. I mean yeah, promote your business by all means, but I don’t really want to see it.

God I hate Juice Plus! They have such a disingenuous, insidious marketing style...

I suppose because she's a real friend, not just an online presence. I like her. Our kids love each other. But I feel like she changes so much when she starts these businesses. I don't want to hear about how lucky she is during the holidays as she's always at home due to her business while others work.

Maybe I need to distance myself a bit from her in general.

Can you mute her on social media so you’re not seeing the posts.

Remember she has to put across this facade as she has to encourage other people to join the MLM so she can actually make money from it - they’re absolute scams!

You don't sound like a friend, sorry.

If you were a true friend, you would either support her in her efforts to succeed (and fail) in her attempts, or you would just mute the conversations without broadcasting them here. She's beautiful in your opinion. Does that mean she sees that beauty and is confident in her own skin? Everyone has hangups, perhaps you don't see hers as you're too busy comparing. She may think you're beautiful too, how do you know? Get over it! Why are you letting what she does bother you to such a degree, is there another reason?

You’ve hit the first bingo OP! Why do you have any opinions on anything outside of the tiny vacuum of what happens under your roof? So judgey…

anyway, YANBU, from a fellow human with all the unreasonable emotions that usually entails…
