Hi Nycartist

I see what you mean, your friend often makes critical remarks. I think that you’re very sharp in catching onto her insecurities about herself. I also believe that might be where the comments are coming from.

It reminds me of my mother and sister. My mother used to tell my sister that she was fat and compare herself at that age and say how much skinnier she used to be.

The problem was that my mother was overweight, my sister was not – she was just being bullied. She said these things to feel better about her own appearance.

Perhaps you could tell your friend when she makes comments like that. “Please don’t make comments about my appearance.” Or something like that.

I’m glad to hear that you enjoy talking to people and being friendly! That was definitely the vibe I got from you.

Good luck figuring things out with your friend. I’m sure that you will find the balance that suits you best in the relationship.

Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
