Why do my friends point out my flaws?

[BetaBucks]

A good friend is supposed to point out areas that we can improve on, but never do anything to intentionally drag us down. For example, a good friend says "hey, I've noticed you've been vaping a lot lately" or "hey pal, I think you need to work on your road rage issues. It's not safe." A bad friend says "wow, you have really funny looking ears" or "hey guy, did you all notice that BetaBucks put on a bunch of weight?"

If you added some context, we can probably offer better advice.

Thank you for this.. my friend usually will point out some of my insecurities on my face and I’m not sure if it’s intentional

You're welcome, and yeah tbh that sounds intentional. Especially with girls who recognize how badly body image issues can affect us. Some of it can be from her own insecurities. Like she's jealous of you, and that's how she lets those feelings out.

Well it is better having friends do that than enemies :)

Guys will unhesitatingly will tell other guys that they are fucked in the head.

I have seen girls unhesitatingly support other girls and tell them he was a bit of shit etc. Then when the girls is out of earshot turn to the guys and say "She did this. Then was surprised that happened. She is fucked in the head".

I think you have good friends.

It depends on how they go about it, if they point it out and gently encourage you, they might be trying to help, but if they’re intentionally doing that then they’re being toxic and you deserve better friends hon! ❤️

Bc you make yourself an easy target.


OWN your flaws and no one will be able to poke fun at you.

Maybe because she isn't your friend. You don't need friends so screw her.
