My friend is making fun of my job and it really hurts me? What should I do? (Page 2)

Question

My friend is in college and I'm a flight attendant. I have a bachelor degree. I love my job, but my friend keeps saying stuff like "oh so what did you serve today?" in a very condescending tone. I went through a very tough training where I learned how to deliver babies, save people with heart attacks, evacuate 500 passengers in less than 2 minutes, confront hijackers, etc. I'm not just a waitress in the sky. Every 6 months I have to pass very difficult exams in order to renew my license to fly. It really hurts me when she makes fun of my job. What should I do?

End your friendship a real friend will be supportive of your job knowing you enjoy it

COMMODOREII · Answer

I would ignore her. You do have an important job. Plus you have a bachelors degree. Not many people can say that. Top it off you get to travel. You got a great job in my opinion. Congrats. ☺

Nades · Answer

You see the first 4 words of ur 3rd sentence. There’s ur key. Show her that you love it and why. If she cannot accept you for you then she was never ur friend in the 1st place. Focus on improving ur self FOR ur self.

Why are you still friends with her? Drop her. She's making fun of you because she's low-key jealous.

Anonymous · Answer

You don't have good friends. And also you have a very good job! I've been doing all the hard work, cleaning a barn full of sh*t, working in the fields in the summer in the sun and all these stuff. A job is not to be shamed. Shame is to cheat, lie and steal.

peachyknees · Answer

Get rid of your so-called ”friend”. Are you happy with your job? That's the only thing that matters.

Not be friends with someone that putts u down or take a joke as it is

iFarted · Answer

Have you actually told her to stop and to respect your career choice? It's a shame people put others down cause of their career. We don't all have to work an office job, tech, etc..

Jackblue · Answer

Remind her that you have the authority to have any of those passengers arrested, as disobedience to a flight attendant is a criminal offense. That is power.

blondfrog · Answer

She sounds like a bitch. I feel bad for you. But I also feel bad for you because you obviously don't know the meaning of friends. Those aren't real friends then if they make fun of your job.

padreflint · Answer

You need friends that encourage, motivate, and prop you up. Not "friends" who are condescending, insulting, and demotivating. I'd say it's time for new friends.

That’s not a friend all due respect. That’s a hater in disguise. Get them out of your life. They’re saying this out of jealousy most probably.

Make friends ever different place you go. As you get older some friends fade away just keep the ones that support the real you.
