I remember back in school, when someone told me that I may look like an angel, but behind me is a devil's tail. I thought that was just so mean, not only did it judge my personality... but also embarrassed me big time. How about you? What's the meanset thing someone ever told you?

My ex friend broke up with her boyfriend of 6 six years. They were engaged but the guy had a change of heart. After almost a year my boyfriend finally proposed to me. When my friend knew about it she never told me a thing but behind my back she told our officemates that not all engaged couples get married. I was a bit upset knowing that she said that because we've been friends since college. We don't even fight and on one of the happiest days of my life, she can't be happy for me. I know that she is upset of what happened to her lovelife but it's not my fault. The problem is between her and her boyfriend not between me and her.

Yes it really is. She sort of ended our 8 years of friendship with that mean words. But I guess that happen to people who really don't have outlet. We used to be 8 in our group but when she chose to be with that guy she left our group. I'm the only one left for her because she said nasty things to some of our friends. At first I even set her up to see her old friends (which still are my friends) so they could patch things up. But it was so tiring when only one party is willing to swallow their pride. I eventually accepted the fact that oil and water don't mix so if I'm with her, my other friends won't show up and vise versa. After what she told me, I'm now thinking if I made the right decision of sticking to her despite of what she did to the whole group before.

I don't see anything wrong with believing in your friend. And if you have the choice of turning back time, I'd still advise you to do the same. Besides, as loong as your intentions are to patch up friendship...what could be so wrong about it? Your friend may be mean...by saying those stuff, but in one way or another... I believe she feels for you right now. You can never have many true friends, and I am guessing that even if she has lots of friends right now... she'll miss the few true ones like you.

That is mean. I believe she is just jealous, and needed an outlet of feelings. The only off part, is that, she chose that outlet to be you. Anyways, don't let this bother you or your wedding. People who are insecure will do this all the time, and I bet she's one of them. It's just awful because your friendship is affected due to this.

At least that was quite a decent insult... Some guy from my school called me a "s-l-u-t" and said that I should be screwed by a person suffering from AIDS or Karposi's Sarcoma. That was really very very mean. But somehow I just forgave the person.. what more could I have done? I didn't want to reply anything bad to the person because that guy and me wouldn't have any difference then, and I like Gandhigiri.

That got me curious of what Gandhigiri is. You're right, mine is a more subtle one, compared to your experience... and if I were in your place, that might've took me a lot of courage tp forgive him. However, if I won't he might have more nasty things to say.

kewl!!! I appreciate your postive approach to this people. I am quiet sensitive in nature, that even little things that I hear, could affect me that big. But yeah, I can't dwell on those negative stuff...and must go on.

I am so sorry to hear that. I also have an only son, and i can't imagine saying those things to him. I am still hoping though, that it is justa a joke, that your mother blurted out. Maybe she didn't mean it in any way, and was supposed to be a joke...

That's a pretty mean thing to say to someone, especially if it was said in front of other people. If that person had something against you and really wanted to tell you how he/she felt, he/she should have done it in public where you both could have conversed about it in a decent manner without embarrassing anyone. The worst thing someone ever told me was that I was too proud. It was something about my bad attitude in high school when I was pretty stressed with school in general and always ended up screaming at people for some inconvenience that I felt. That was my fault and I knew it when they told me. I tried my best to fix it. I still have a hot temper but I try to keep myself in control by keeping silent instead of loud and hurtful. Thanks for the response on my discussion :)

I don't see anything wrong with being proud, I honestly have nothing against it. Although if that's in highschool, some may get easily irritated. I also have friends who had their attitude problems back in highschool. Why I didn't react with their attitudes? Because, I think they have what it takes to be proud. As long as your attitude does not affect others too much... it shouldn't be that much of a problem. And now that you are matured and aware of this, the thought that you're trying to control yourself is a big one.

Since I talk fast and sometimes I need to tell repeat my story since my audience couldn't catch up, someone did tell me I speak like a voice of some animal (better not to tell which is it but that animal usually been use to insult someone in my language - not a pig though) I was not a friend to the girl and she only visited my room since my roommate was her best friend, yet she dare to speak like that. I hardly speak to her before and I thought I better be nice since she might came to my room often. It was insulting and I never speak to her again after that.

What you did was right. I think it's wiser to just avoid her, or else, she might say more awful things about you. She even has the nerve to say that, despite the fact that you're not close...I won't be surprise if she'll say more awful things without minding how you'll feel.
