Best friend puts me down subtly and I’m scared to talk to her about it?

[Anonymous]

My friend keeps shading my appearance out of the blue when we see eachother. I know it’s shade because I always feel bad or embarrassed. Every time I see her I come away imagining or rehearsing how I’ll confront her about it, but when I actually get to hang out with her I chicken out and end up not confronting her. I guess I’m scared our friendship will change if I confront her about it. Are we really best friends if I can’t talk to her about this?

I was in a friendship like this.
Let me tell you if your so afraid of talking to them about issues in the relationship.
Than that's not a friendship, If someone truly cares they would take time to listen on the problems and if they make the improvement that's on them.
It will never get better if you don't discuss it or end it, and yeah it might be painful to lose a connection but would you rather keep repeating this all the time or improve on your life.
People always tend to stay because they don't wanna hurt the other person but if they are causing an huge issue than cut them loose.
Maybe writing down everything that has been bothering you if you wanna try to save the relationship and getting someone else opinion on the letter before saying it to them.
If the friendship ends than you can heal and do new hobbies/new friends.
Hope this helps <3

If she says something about your outfit or hair just say well, I like it. If she keeps going you should sit down and talk to her. If this ruins your friendship it wasn’t a genuine friendship to behind with.

No, you are not best friends if you feel you can't talk to her about. Nor are you best friends if she puts you down like that.

No, she is a psychic vamp and soon you will be zero self esteem at this rate.
