Maybe I'm overacting but I don't think I am. The other day I was at a cafe with my friend (31F) and I was pouting my lips when she looked at me and said 'that reminds me' and started applying chapstick. I was a bit confused by this but then I realised what she meant and I was very angry. But then yesterday we went out again and I can't remember the conversation but I stuck my teeth out in a funny way and she looked me up and down and said in a smug voice 'I need to book my dentist appointment' and she set a reminder in her calendar. Am I overreacting or is this not on? And how do I approach it without sounding paranoid?

Why were you gurning at your friend?

She doesn’t sound pleasant but you sound a bit odd as well

Op, I have found your people -

It does sound like she's being bitchy, OP.

I'm quite animated sometimes - if i was a telling a story and someone said 'that reminds me, I need to get my chin waxed/bags done/blackheads removed' then I would also think they weren't a very nice friend.

LittleGreenDragons · 03/03/2024 14:24

She's not thinking your lips are awful therefore need to use chapstick.
She's not thinking your teeth are awful therefore needs to ring dentist.

She's thinking lips = mine feel a bit dry, applies chapstick.
Or teeth = dentist

But I agree with pp. If it's making you this angry just stop pulling faces.

It could have been worse...

Your friend could have been reminded she needed a shit with your pouty lips and opened her beer bottle on your sticky out teeth.

So yeah, YABU.

This is the strangest thread I've ever encountered

QueenBitch666 · 03/03/2024 14:27

I don't know about anyone else but I'm helpless here 😂😂😂😂

Doyoumind · 03/03/2024 14:27

This is a you problem. To think your friend is in the wrong is a very twisted way of thinking.

You drew attention to your lips, so it reminded her about hers. It doesn't imply yours are horrid. Same with the teeth. You're paranoid. If you really think your friend is being passive aggressive, stop being friends, but you're going to end up with no friends with your bizarre attitude.

GiantFootTinyHead · 03/03/2024 14:27

which is obviously implying my lips are dry. It is all negative with her

She wasn’t obviously implying it at all, she just needed lip balm. Why does everything have to be about you? You are the negative one. Honestly, you are way overthinking this.

SheepAndSword · 03/03/2024 14:28

@zunchie so you're just more facially expressive? Surprised friend has never said before.

Don't tell her to fuck off, just say it hurt you a bit.

JJathome · 03/03/2024 14:28

Um ok, this isn’t weird at all.😂

Maddy70 · 03/03/2024 14:28

What?

MississippiAF · 03/03/2024 14:29

Well it could've been a positive thing like it reminded her she needs lip filler or something nice about my own lips

So you pouted your pumped up lips in the middle of a conversation, are you are upset she didn’t say she needs to get her filler done?

wtf is going on.

I think deep down with context she has always been somewhat jealous of me which makes it worse. Without trying to sound like I think I look so much better than her, she isn't the best looking so I feel like she's trying to put me down for some reason. But I honestly have no reason to think why.

Cantara · 03/03/2024 14:32

I was going to post a serious reply but I can't get the thought of OP gurning away at her friend every time they meet out of my head. 😂
It would probably have been ruder for her to say "stop pulling faces constantly, it's weird", sounds like she was trying to say it in a gentler way.

You putting her down is totally fine but she's not allowed to do something you misinterpret as a put down? You aren't a friend to this person.

I think your friend should be the one to tell you to "F OFF" (sic). "She isn't the best looking"?? What a horrid person you are!

I was sure this thread was about a teenager...You don't need to approach it, just stop being ridiculous!

Op you sound a bit unhinged 😂
