What to Make of Unfriendly Friends?

Perhaps the roots of such behavior are the damaged human nature? We meet persons in the world and colleagues in our work place who behave in unfriendly way. A colleague got her citizenship card (known as Adhaar cards) done three days ago. She passed by our door but decided not to utter a word about where she was going. She knows very well that members of our family are yet to get such cards. Other times, she would sit in our room and chat for hours. Strange, isn't it, how some ""friends" behave in an unfriendly manner?

Maybe she thought that by talking about it is a way of showing off? Which is why she did not say something?

Perhaps, I give her the benefit of her way of looking at things.

Didn't anyone asked her where she's going? Perhaps she misconstrue the silence from the others are not minding her , so she went out silently.

This is thought to be rude and being unnecessarily curious. If I had met her on the way I'd surely have asked her.

I would treat such "friends" in the same way they treat me. If they are unfriendly then so be it. But in your case I would wait or investigate more, before I make my decision about her.

I have seen her doing the same many other times which has made me have this opinion about her.

I don't think she was being unfriendly but courteous. She knew that members of your family didn't have the card and didn't want to brag about it. You might have felt a lot different if she had put it in your face about the card. She was being very considerate of your feelings.

You are very kind in saying that but I have seen this neighbor's behavior other times often, which has compelled me to have this opinion about her. Yet, I pray the Lord to bless her.

Such selfish people are not at all good for friendship.If somebody behaves with me this way,I may forgive them,but I don't forget it what they did to me.

In this world we have to keep good relationship with those who work with us. At the same time this kind of behavior teaches us how much we can expect of them.

Is it usual for her to let you know where she is going.

Sometimes she does tell where she is going. Sometimes, she is very secretive too.
