What to say when someone says you have a big nose?

[Anonymous]

I was talking with my friend and we were talking about piercings, and out of no where she goes cause your nose is big and I’m like wtf? i don’t think my nose is that big and my nostrils are really small but it just made me kind of conscious that she said that... and I just kept telling her my nose is not big and she was like it’s bigger then mine and she just kept disagreeing, what do I say to her if she says it again?

1. Having a big nose doesn't make you ugly or unattractive. Lots of people have bigger than average noses and nobody really cares unless it's unreasonably massive.

2. If she pointed it out casually like that, then either she doesn't care and doesn't think it makes you less attractive, or she does think it makes you less attractive and doesn't want you to know she thinks you're unattractive. And not in the protect your feelings kind of way, probably in the either jealous or the self-righteous way. It's usually semi-easy to tell the difference.

3. If she doesn't care, again, it's not a big deal, and you don't need to care either. Don't worry about it too much since you didn't even notice I sincerely doubt it's even noticeable, let alone a bad thing.

4. If she's being passive aggressive about it, honestly, I just suggest don't hang out with her. But if you value her friendship then mention it to her, seriously, and hopefully she realizes you don't find that acceptable in friends and she tries to either be nice or insult you properly next time. Honesty is better than veiled insults at least.

5. If she doesn't see that or refuses to listen, either just stop hanging out with her or give it a couple days and just try and move on like normal, and if it happens again then I really strongly suggest laying down the line if you don't want it to be a regular thing.

Don’t let it get to you. I wouldn’t be friends with someone who degraded any part of me.

Punch them in their's, so it'll match yours after a few days.

Sounds like she has nose envy. I'm sure yours is cuter!
