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?

Yes.
Generally they laugh.
Maybe you're not funny. 🤷

@zunchie Lesbian isn't a bad word. Any reason why you think it needs censored?

puzzledout · 03/03/2024 15:00

@zunchie

You can say lesbian GrinGrinGrinGrin

So you sat pouting and sticking your teeth out at this woman and then became irrationally angry at her! I think she needs to ‘F** OFF’ far away from you you absolute nut job 🤣🤣

Made me burst out laughing!

So first I have tourettes and now I must be a l*sbian. Seriously does nobody here make jokes with their friends?

I do. I can’t say I’m a gurner though, or that I find pouting ant my mates amusing.

but you think she doesn’t compliment your self confessed good looks, and you also feel she’s envious of your beauty, considering in your opinion she’s lacking in this area, in comparison to you at least,

so you’re not really friends, anyways find someone you can pout and gurn at and get a compliment for it, this one’s not that super fan op.

I’m just imagining being out with a friend who keeps pouting and pulling (sticking?!) their teeth out, who feels sorry for me as I’m just not as good looking as them… and then being told to fuck off for the privilege

Sorry made me laugh, can you imagine 😂😂😂

Doyoumind · 03/03/2024 15:03

No one in their 30s thinks the word lesbian needs an asterisk.

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 03/03/2024 15:05

I started beating my chest and swinging from trees once and my friend
just sat there booking a trip to a safari park.

Fucking cheek of it !

Do you have to be so nasty! I don't remember why I was doing it I just was. And why would she say that to my face, even if she's thinking it. Deep down I think she has some sort of superiority complex towards me.

No, I think she is trying to let you know they your pulling faces is weird and maybe something you should tone back.

SheepAndSword · 03/03/2024 15:07

I think I need to watch some TV to ground myself.

But fwiw OP you have lightened up a grey Sunday.

Allywill · 03/03/2024 15:12

Just a question - how do you stick your teeth out? They don’t actually move position usually - unless as a PP says they are false so I can see how people on here are a little confused.

Moveoverdarlin · 03/03/2024 15:13

She’s blatantly taking the piss out of you for having filler in your lips. But saying that, if my BFF sat pouting in a cafe, I’d take the piss out of her too. Not in a mean way but I’d say ‘why are you pouting like a dickhead from Love Island?’

When you were um sticking your teeth out? Do you have veneers by any chance? Yes, she’s taking the piss, and I know you think you are far better looking than her, but my guess is, she thinks you look ridiculous and she thinks she’s better looking than you.

Turkey teeth, maybe.

Turkey teeth, maybe.

Even turkey teeth are usually cemented in.

BrightHarvestMoon · 03/03/2024 15:16

WTF? 😆 She was probably teasing you because you were pulling silly faces @zunchie WTF do you expect?

BrightHarvestMoon · 03/03/2024 15:18

zunchie · 03/03/2024 14:29

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.

😂

NancyPickford · 03/03/2024 15:21

Why did you censor the word lesbian?

You don’t stick your teeth out more you either pull your lower jaw in making your top teeth stick out, or you stick your lower jaw out, aka gurning.

StaunchMomma · 03/03/2024 15:21

Maybe she was just a bit embarrassed by you pulling weird faces and that was her sarcastic way of getting you to stop?

Your relationship sounds a bit weird, OP.

Hillrunning · 03/03/2024 15:22

The thread that just keeps on giving! 40 years on this earth, and I have never considered that someone might censor the word lesbian.

Hillrunning · 03/03/2024 15:22

Also, is anyone else currently pulling odd faces simply to try to work out how ones sticks their teeth out?

fatphalange · 03/03/2024 15:23

Sorry but I can imagine your mate's OP, 'AIBU to not really know how to act when I'm out with my friend who keeps randomly breaking into gurning?' being met suggestions on how to shut you down exactly how she has been!

goodnesswhathappened · 03/03/2024 15:25

OP, are you a horse?

To say F** OFF!!
coffeemugs · 03/03/2024 15:26

Yeah I can move my lower jaw back and stick my teeth over my lower lip. I think that must be what OP means
