I’ll never understand people like this. Even if you’re really insecure about yourself is it so hard to give a simple “thank you” and move on?

came over there with her cute fit on, specifically to garner a reaction. At a certain point after her being rude, I was like “girl. Just accept the compliments. You know you look good” and then she got mad and left, changed clothes, then came back.

Literally as someone who used to not be able to accept compliments: once u start saying thank you even if you don’t believe them instead of arguing you start believing them

its ok to accept that you look cute today, you don’t have to be super defensive

Well I mean we’ve all been in the same group for about a year and it’s been not fun. We don’t want to cut her off bc we kinda are her only friends that constantly hang with her. I want to be there for her but it’s so hard to constantly keep reassuring someone that they’re not ugly, or they’re not this, not that- whatever

true :( I’m seriously detaching kinda but I just have an irrational fear that she’s gonna go down hill. Even though it’s not my problem, I just care about her a lot. Thank you for your advice

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but sometimes she can kinda get depressed depending on what you say to her. That’s why I finally said something after I couldn’t take what she was saying to everybody

Learned this thru lots of therapy tho hopefully she is receptive and therapy is helpful for her

yes same, I wasn’t always the best with accepting them. She seems to be receptive to it, like she can recall what she learned and we talk about it but then she kinda just reverts back. Especially if her therapist cancels, which she has maybe once and that was a pretty big deal. I’m sure she’s gonna progress more though I’m hoping 🙁

Yeah ur therapist cancelling can be really big deal unfortunately. If she’s not putting in the work she’s not owed your friendship tho
