Insincere people.

[Chocolate123]

Long story shortened. Large group of friends/acquaintances all in our 50’s +. Obviously some friendships are stronger than others. One in particular regularly posts group photos which is fine but recently put up a really unflattering photo of me on my own. I got upset and asked her to remove it. She did eventually but made numerous excuses for the photo and said it was funny amongst other things. She didn’t own her apology to me but apologised numerous times to the other people in the group who are her friends as she didn’t want them to think bad of her!!! Not the first time she has done something like this. AIBU not to be bothered with her anymore life is too short to have people like her in my life.

You know the answer already - I'd distance myself.

I don’t think that’s ‘insincerity’, I just think she’s not a friend of yours or a particularly nice person. She apologised to the people in the group whose opinions matter to her — yours isn’t among them.

I also think that this is potentially the price you pay for socialising in a large group where you don’t know or don’t like some of the other people. I’m assuming she isn’t someone you’ve ever been close to, and vice versa?

It’s not insincerity. It’s being a spiteful bastard

I agree with everyone else - a friend doesn’t do that sort of thing. It’s immature of her and life is definitely too short to keep people like her in it. She hasn’t said sorry to you because she isn’t sorry.

I feel her apology to me was insincere and she did it because one of the group told her to. I suppose that’s why I used that word. You’re right ever since we met I felt she didn’t like me which is ok in a large group not everyone gets along and I’m not a fan of large groups I much prefer a smaller circle of friends which I have. I’ve tried a few times to make it work but for me this was the last time and now I just want limit any amount of time in a group setting with her.
