I was deeply hurt yesterday at a family function when my cousin started talking about me behind my back. Thing is I was only feet away from her. She knew this and put her hand by her mouth to shield me from hearing. Only she was half yelling in order to be heard across the table.

Unbelievable that someone would do this. First of all, the fact she felt she had to hide what she was saying demonstrated knowledge what she was doing was hurtful and inappropriate. Second, that she would choose to do so anyway I take as a decision to purposely hurt me.

I wonder that, somehow, she thinks my illness makes it okay to talk about me while I'm right there?

How rude!


Did you let her know you could hear her?


Sometimes people's egos need to be knocked down a notch.

She sounds awful. People will remember her rudeness more than what she said.
Thanks for this!

She's unbelievable!!!

How bloody awful.

I'm glad others tried to hush her too.

No wonder you were hurt - her manners are outrageous

thankyou

I have been thinking on this now for a full day. I am sorry that I didn't just leave. That would have at least sent a message to her and others I was terribly hurt. Instead, I sucked it up, put a smile on my face a pretended not to be bothered.

I think by staying, the message you sent is that you're better than that. In addition, it allowed others the opportunity too to tell her to knock it off because her behaviour is inappropriate. Can't say I don't blame you for having thought about leaving. But I'm kinda glad you stuck it out. That took guts
Thanks for this!
