I have had “friends” like that and my thing is to just look at them, no comment, no in on the joke, no feeling. Ice. Freeze. They get it.

A few times when I’ve let someone’s asinine remarks flap in the breeze of my silence, I sense that that
person gets what a shit head he/she is being. So hard to do, though.

I love you so much! Not in a “that’s why I love you” way but in an “I fucking love you!” way.

Quite often, I don’t feel good about being the better person. Staying true to oneself has value, even when you know it won’t end well.

People shouldn’t light fuses if they don’t want bombs to go off.

Someone made an underhanded comment towards me at a dinner party. I say ‘someone’ but it was a friend. It was then backed by a really condescending “but that’s why I love you” and then a pat on the back of the hand. At the time, I dealt with it diplomatically, almost making excuses for her criticism. Inside I wanted to tell her she was a Sugar Coated Cunt, but that “I loved that about her.”

It didn’t bother me that much at the time but then as the week went on it niggled and niggled. Fathoming why she felt it necessary to make such a comment is beyond me. It felt passive aggressive. Everyone at the table heard her and it was the type of comment that was potentially embarrassing and she didn’t care about putting me in that position. We’d all been having a lovely evening and were a bit pissed….I’m chalking it down to being pissed, but I still have difficulty letting it go.

She had on hideously lesbian footwear and I didn’t even comment. That’s how good a friend I am.
