The Situation

"She makes fun of me in front of her friends"

The Brutal Truth

She’s belittling you in front of others to elevate her status and manipulate the group dynamic. This behavior shows disrespect and a lack of concern for your feelings. It’s toxic and signals deeper issues in her attitude towards you.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might laugh it off, thinking they can win her affection by not taking it too seriously. This is wrong because it minimizes their own feelings and teaches her that disrespect is permissible.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What part of you is willing to tolerate disrespect in hopes of acceptance?
