Well last Friday a friend of mine had a "girls night out" pool party at her house. One of the guest was also a mutual friend of ours, let's call her Kitty, we have known each other for about 5 years. She is going through a rough patch right now to which we can relate (we all have been there one way or another), she has been out of a job for the past 7 months , has a hard time finding a new job, is still going through bankrupsy and on top of it has Adult ADD.
Anyway, the friend who was hosting the party also invited another set of her friends which I met for the first time that night. As the evening went on I was mingling and at one point walked over to the table where Kitty was sitting with a mix of old and new friends when she turned to me and wispered into my ear that "the girls" meaning that our hosts other set of friends think I am a ___ ____ ____ BITCH, but that was ok because she knew that was not true? :censor::censor::censor:???????? This came straight out of left field and all I could say was SO??? and walked away. OK Kitty did have a few glasses of wine and yes she likes to be the center of attention where I am much more layed back but ....
First these people don't know me well enough, second why would these people mention anything like that in front of people they thought of as my friends, and third I don't think of myself as that important a subject - it just dosen't make sense to me.
I have been disgesting this for a few days now and find the whole thing quite disturbing. Is it jealousy, is it that Kitty needs to make herself look better than anyone else because things have not been going so well for her or is it just plain Psychotic .
Maybe I should mention she also has quite the disfunctional relationship with her family.
Anyway for now I just planning on pulling back for now. What do you guys think. AM I over reacting? Please don't hold back - your opinions are appreciated!!
