How do you feel when you get told off, by your friends??

Hurt, of course, and maybe even defensive but later on it sinks in that they mean well.

I had a friend like that! First she was very jealous of me and then when i told her to go to hell (because she was criticising me always) she tried to do bad things against me but i didnt care  because she was not my friend anymore.

They are not your real friends if they aren't prepared to listen to your side of the story.  Tell them you succumbed in a moment of weakness.  You never know, they may have done the same thing but you haven't heard about it yet.

HUH?  Tell you friends something you know they'll judge you for?? is that the question?\n\nIf they know you well enough, of course they'll already judge you... but its the honest answer they should be giving you.

i'm not heartbroken, but i am disappointed right now. i was gonna attend a piss out with my mate who promised to give me a lift. i was waiting for him since half six, and it was already quarter to eight pm. and some of my mates already in the party were trying to ring me to see if i was still going, but i was already pissed off i didn't feel like going there.\n\nnow, i'm watching my favourite flicks, while answering questions here. makes me feel a lot better. i should be fine tomorrow.\n\ni hope you'll be fine by tomorrow as well. isnt it a comforting thought that youre not alone? we're both feeling disappointed right now, so ye.

I absolutely hate it when that happens. I always try not to get involved, but if I have to, I end up bitching someone out. Just don't get involved, and make it clear to your co-workers that you are not involved. Make sure they understand that they are both your friends and you will not take sides, no exceptions. I am usually very firm when it comes to these issues, because you're right, it IS high-schoolish. I have very little patience for this kind of thing, and all my friends know this.

You are making yourself sick.  Stop letting other people get to you.  I had to develop an "I don't give a f***" attitude and I felt the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders.  Stop explaining yourself to people too.

Stand up to them. Be willing to find new friends that won't treat you that way. Call them on the carpet, the next time they step out of line, hit them back, verbally. They will either respect you and lay off, or they'll stop being your friend, in which case you didn't need them anyway.

My best friend screwed me in the worst way ever. He tried to have me arrested on false charges.\n\nI just walked away from him, I know the worst thing I can do to him is not to tell him what he did, and why it is wrong, he will be an as-hle for the rest of his life and he will screw himself.\n\nI haven't seen him since then, I will not see him in the future. He was a friend until he demonstrated his kind.

heh I feel ya there. happened to me a few times. I just made sure that they saw me with another guy. Yes I know that might hurt his feelings, but at least you will be clear and you can pretend that you didnt know anything about anything at all. thats the only way that worked for me\ngood luck

Sweet Dear\nSometimes they do not even know how you are feeling unless you learn to express yourself and let them know about your likes and dislikes---- dont hurt them but at the same time do not let them hurt you too---right??

Well, I can sympathize... because I have been "walked over" by many friends.  I'm smart, academically speaking, and have made many friends who feel it is my duty to tutor and provide them the answers and help on all their papers.  Or friends who only call when they need something.  This is why I only have 1 real friend, and my husband.  It took a while to realize that people are shadey, and you can't always trust them.  Hard lesson learned.  Now I evaluate every relationship, asking "Am I getting out of this relationship what I am putting in?" and if I am putting in too much energy... and not recieving any of that energy back, then you really have to evaluate if it's worth it..

That is a really tough one... hm... I have a friend like that too, and I kinda just let it go. Maybe next time they bring something up like that, you can change the subject. Like if they say something like "I am so cool!!!!!" you can say "Speaking of cool... wasn't it cold last night?"... you know, really silly things, like take something from their sentence and say something that has to do with it. \nHowever, if they get mad just tell them the truth. Be like "I'm sorry, but you just made me feel like I was lower than you. You know? Like you are better than me." Just be honest (but throwing in a little guilt trick won't hurt) They might get mad, but eventually someone is going to tell them, and they aren't going to be nice about it. So take the chance that you have now, and just be honest with your friend. I have a pretty good feeling it will work out. Good luck! :)
