Why would my best friend’s cousin give me beef about my height?

[AmazonChick171]

So yesterday I met my best friend’s cousin from New Jersey. She has mentioned her cousin and how cool and chill her cousin is. I was looking forward to meeting her but yesterday when I finally met her, I went to shake her hand, she backed up and said, “Ooh! Goddamn! You’re such a bitch! Don’t get to close, you’re giving me anxiety.” And moved away from me.
She looked at me up and down with a snarky attitude. So we hung out, our other three friends came along and she only talked to them and ignored me.
My bestie had to confront her about how she’s treated me. Her cousin said, “Well it’s not my fault that she’s 50 feet tall!”

I was fed up with her cousin making comments about my height! She was saying something about flying in a helicopter and she said her and everyone would be okay in but I would be miserable to fit in.
She kept roasting me so much. She pointed it at a picture of a gorilla and said, “That gorilla is you because you too damn HUGE and eat like one. You’re his long lost relative.” Everyone laughed out loud. A guy said, “DAMN!!! She got you good!”

My best friend even laughed a bit. I punched her and called her out and she said, “Hey would you lighten up? She was just fucking around! It’s a joke!”

It sounds like your best friend's cousin has some insecurity or personal issue that she's projecting onto you through mean-spirited "jokes" about your height. Her behavior, from the initial rude greeting to the constant gorilla comparisons, suggests a desire to establish dominance or make herself feel superior by putting you down. The fact that others, including your best friend, laughed along indicates a lack of understanding or empathy on their part, which is why your reaction was justified.

Yeah I was very disappointed in my best friend for supporting her roasting me. I know in the beginning she confronted her about insulting me. I didn’t choose to be 6’4

YOUR QUESTION:

Why would my best friend’s cousin give me beef about my height?

YOUR FIRST SENTENCE IN THE DESCRIPTION:

So yesterday I met my best friend’s cousin from New Jersey.

That's the answer right there: "from New Jersey".

[AmazonChick171]

What does New Jersey have to do with it?

[abc3643]

LOL. You apparently do not understand New Jersey.
I'll put it to you this way: There's a reason why the Statue of Liberty's butt faces New Jersey.

Sounds like your friend’s cousin is feeling insecure and bad about herself and is trying to take you down with her. That was messed up of your friend. You don’t need to lighten up, she should have stuck up for you. Perhaps the cousin is a bully and she’s afraid to stand up to her. I’m sorry this all happened to you, but you’re not wrong to be upset.

[AmazonChick171]

I don’t ever want to see her cousin anymore. Her cousin mentioned she is a peanut compared to me 6’4, skinny gigantic ass. She’s petite, very short at 4’7” and very intimidated by me and kept her distances.

[silvermoon84]

So she’s insecure then, and she’s jealous which is silly. Tall is beautiful, but so is petite, so she has no reason to be jealous, insecure or intimidated and if she is, it doesn’t justify her being mean. I’m glad you’re keeping your distance.

i don't get people like that

and i'm glad you punched her lol

[AmazonChick171]

I never punched her but I punched my bestie in the arm for laughing when her cousin insulted me. Like it’s my fault that I’m 6’4.

[MemeSupreme]

why do you keep mentioning you're 6'4 lol

[AmazonChick171]

Because I forgot to mention it

[Surely]

The cousin might have known about your insecurity on your height. She was just being a bully and your, not so good friend? Should have taken her aside and shut her mouth.

[AmazonChick171]

My friend did the first time but the last time she laughed at the roast that she game me.

[Surely]

I wish that I could tell you something to uplift your spirits and make your heart felt pain go away!
I can’t understand your bestie allowing you to be roasted. When she knows how you feel.
