Does this "friend" actually dislike me?

Time for a new friend group.

She is extremely insecure. Insecure people put others down to make themselves feel better.

Her dad was a doctor. I attended her wedding, and it was expensive.

She was a spoiled rich girl and now she is divorced for the second time (what a surprise) so we can see the good half of the couple and never see her again.

Really never understood the “liberal” who could not deal with humans who earn less than they do.

Are you ok?? Yikes.

She's awful.

It's not like someone who has just renovated their whole kitchen doesn't have money for food. She's obnoxious and weird. Steer clear of her.

At that time, I would have closed the cabinet, pointed her to the door and said "it's time for you to go home, Jane"

OP at some point you will be old enough to know that a drunk person rifling through your cabinets and asking if you're "poor" (the worst insult she could think of, I'm sure) is someone with big problems. Substance abuse, insecurity, someone who's a garden variety @sshole, who knows. Also, who cares. I mean this kindly but the fact that you're spending any time asking yourself if this person likes you reveals your youth. The only question you need to ask is how to cleanly steer clear of this person going forward. She clearly sucks, let life take care of her. It usually does. And congratulations on your kitchen! I bet it's beautiful.

I think you are asking the wrong questions -- "does she like me? Are we friends?"

The right question is, "do I like spending time with someone who cuts me down?"

It really doesn't matter why she does it or why it offends you or whether you are "too sensitive".

BTW, friends are people you enjoy spending time with, who support you, are comfortable with differences and are kind. Sometimes friends make mistakes and say something hurtful, but that should be a rare occurrence, and there is usually some kind of recognition and repair .

“ She kept saying over and over again "are you poor? Are you poor? Is that why you don't have any stuff?"

(She was pretty tipsy at the time.)

I might say something like this, in gest. I laugh a lot throughout the day. It’s not for everyone.

This PP makes a good point. Was she just drunk and thinking she was making a good joke?

Do you notice that no one laughs with you?

Do you notice that no one likes you? That's got to be the case, as evidenced by your nasty desperate need to go after PP. NP

I don’t think she dislikes you. She sounds rude and low class.

[Anonymous]

I agree - - this person, drunk being no excuse - - was indeed VERY rude to say what she did.

I personally would not invite her into my home again.
In fact, I would stop socializing w/her altogether. 😠

Not at all. Anyone relating to OP's anecdote of a drunk friend going through her cabinets and asking "are you poor??", and actually *self-identifying* with that behavior is an adult who never realized what a joke is. If no one around you is laughing, it's not funny. My middle schooler even knows this. Adults who never figure this out are the worst.

Also, you could have actually said “Jane, what on earth is wrong with you? Of course I’m not poor. Stop going through my cabinets.”

Great response. Say something like this every single time she says something obnoxious. Also get new friends.
