ENOUGH.

Been crying and on MSN messenger with a guy friend of mine. He didn't make me cry but was trying to comfort me over some comments passed at dinner last night. Haven't slept a wink all night after a friend commented that I look older than the rest of the group. Note I wasn't impressed, since they were all a year older than me.For the love of a very dear friend who was there, I stopped myself from walking away. Didn't want to appear petty or childish. My guy pal's take is I shouldn't have been the passive doormat and let the person get away with such remarks.

Everyone else attributed it to 'Oh, it's her nature', 'You know her' etc. Instead, I feel 'victimised' as I am now made to feel that I am the overly-sensitive person. How can I not be when I am constantly being put down.The person, whether knowingly or otherwise, hit me at the fundamental things that are hurting me very much at this point in my life. People never realise that each of us have our own crosses and burdens to bear in life.

What do I do? Beyond trying to be Christian and forgive that person, maybe it's time to be practical. There's a limit to how much one can take, even if it's comments from a friend.
