Do you any of have a friend like this?
She is lovely and nice to me in a lot of ways and seems to really care about me and miss me when we don't see each other for a while . . . but . . .
Recently her ds was ill. Some sort of virus thing which in itself is not dangerous but can cause problems which is rare but can be serious. The ds has been having regular check ups and seems fine though. Every time I speak to her I always ask (if she doesn't mention first) how ds check ups have been going. Seems the normal thing to do to me!
Anyway last time I asked she snapped my head off and said "thanks for that, I'd forgotten all about it, thanks a lot!" in a really arsey way. (she meant thanks for putting it back in her head)
I should mention that we only see each other once every few months so it's not like this is something I am insensitively going on about all the time.
She also seems to like pointing out things that I have in her opinion done wrong. Such as a social "boo boo" I made a couple of years ago. I personally don't agree that it was a boo boo (can't think of a better term for it) at all, it's a matter of opinion, but she obviously did and keeps going on about it in the company of others and it's starting to feel as though she is trying to humiliate me.
She often takes the piss out of clothes I am wearing which I find mean especially as I don't comment at all on her "individual" choices, and recently took the piss out of the dinner I had made her and her DH. Not straight away, but later when we were sitting around drinking she said that it had been a bizaar meal (really it wasn't!)
I have had a friend like this before and after a long time I realised that she was insecure and putting me down to make herself feel better. Don't really want to accept that this one is the same though. I know that the first example isn't the same as the rest but there have been others like that.
