So basically there’s this person who is my friend and for some reason they really irk me. They’ve done nothing to me but it’s just their mannerisms like every single time I say something they put me down, but I don’t even think they mean it in a mean way. For example, I was making a dumb joke about minecraft and they responded back with “…” and “yikes”, which ik I’m overreacting but it feels condescending. This also isn’t a once off, every time I say something I think is funny they respond like this. I went out the other day in my pjs at night and made a comment that I wasn’t expecting a lot of people to be out since it wasn’t the weekend and all they said in return was “yikes”. I know this is pretty petty of me but it does make me feel a little belittled(?) (not sure if that’s the right word) and it’s making me start disliking them. That’s my confession, I dislike my friend
Comments
It’s totally understandable to feel that way. Sometimes little comments like that can build up and make us feel like we’re being put down, even if the person isn’t meaning to be rude. It’s not petty; it’s about how their responses are affecting you. Maybe it’s time to have a candid conversation with them about how those comments make you feel—chances are they don’t even realize they’re coming off that way!
