I admire you for smiling and being polite to this person, who was being what many would call "passive aggressive." I can feel your hurt in this story. Confronting the lie (of others) can make us feel better or sometimes wish we'd just kept our mouth shut. Thank you, Uma, for sharing. ☺️
I think this is something many kind people struggle with. We convince ourselves that staying quiet is the generous thing to do, only to realize later we've been unkind to ourselves instead. Thank you for such an honest piece 🤍
I had friends who would take trips together. Oh, we didn't think you could afford it. I could if I saved up. The thing is you just want the invite. Maybe even more than going!
I stopped hanging out with them. I realized they were acquaintances that I'd known forever. Not true friends. They were best friends and I was a third wheel.
Really enjoyed reading the story. What a weird experience. I think she is a person quick to make promises but finding it hard to follow through. Still, after one or two such interactions, one would think she would stop!
Thank you for sharing, Uma! I think this is something we all go through where a "friend" is not treating us the way that we deserve to be treated and we stay quiet about it because we don't want to disrupt the peace. You're absolutely not alone.

I love it! People sure have a way of pushing our buttons don't they? They are not always kind.
