To be offended by this?!

[Justanotherdobby]

I went out on a girls night with some friends and made more of an effort than I usually do. I was feeling quite good in myself which is rare these days. The girls I went out with are very into taking constant photos every time we go out which I don't mind as such but do feel is a bit ott and I don't always feel like I want my picture taken but I obliged them when they asked as I felt I looked good.
I've just seen my friend has posted several of the pictures from the night and she's put a filter on my picture that I believe is supposed to make me look younger but honestly makes me look like some sort of AI 12 year old and is noticeably fake. I'm 35 and I'm in decent nick (I thought!). It's really hurt my feelings as she hasn't done this on any of her other photos either of herself or other friends and it feels like a dig. She is quite image conscious as she is on the larger side and I can't imagine her taking kindly to me posting a picture with a slimming filter used only on her. AIBU to be offended?

Then don’t be friends with her.

You have started a thread being rude about her.

Some MNers love a good bitch and you wanted to create a thread doing just that.

Just step away from the friendship and then you won’t have to worry about photos being posted.

I’d reply to the comment she hadn’t filtered it: “Yeah, right. You’ve made me look about 12 and you look like my mother!”
That’ll piss her off 🤣🤣

@Itsnotrightbutitsok I created the thread to get an unbiased sense check for whether I was overthinking things and have been pleasantly surprised to see that mostly others understand where I'm coming from. I have not once been rude about her, I have given examples of her behaviour and how it has made me feel, which I'm entitled to do.

This woman isn't a friend, she's a bitch. Tell her to delete the photos. If she doesn't, perhaps be just as bitchy and put a filter on them to make her look slim. Whatever you do, I wouldn't continue with the "friendship"

@washingmachineslivelongerwithcalgon you can stand up for yourself through your actions of no longer engaging with the person.
Removing yourself from the situation is just as valid as having a massive row
some people don't like confrontation or drama.

@Justanotherdobby if you no longer find her friendship enjoyable end it. You can have a discussion with her or your can just end contact with her.

@Callipygion best response yet.
😂😂😂

What a cowbag! I would post a picture turning underneath, with the tag " spot the difference" 😂

@Justanotherdobby

I think I might have an idea of what's happened here.

On some phones (including mine), when you go to take a photo, different settings appear on screen and they are very easy to select them without noticing you've done it. On my iPhone for example if you're taking picture of a person it's very easy to accidentally touch the 'contour light' setting on the screen which results in a very airbrushed looking picture. I've done that by accident loads of times. It is a filter, but it's not a filter that's applied to the picture afterwards; it happens as you take the photo. Loads of people take pictures without even realising they've used that setting.

Obviously no idea what phone your mate uses but many phones have similar functions built into the camera. I'm pretty sure this is why she's claiming she hasn't filtered the picture and is telling you the camera just took it like that. She probably didn't do it on purpose and may not even realise!

Honestly I feel this is the most likely explanation.
