[quote=Anonymous]I had a friend like this and ultimately the friendship ended because of this.

Once I got out of the friendship I realized that she actually engaged in a LOT of gossipy, "mean girl" type behaviors, but she did it in a way where it just never read that way when you were with her. People confided in her a lot because she seemed accepting and non-judgmental, and trustworthy. She just gave off that vibe. But she wasn't -- she was constantly talking about other people, even making fun of them and judging them, but in this way that came off like she wasn't being judgmental? I don't know how to describe it. It took me several years to realize that none of these incidents were one offs or accidents, it's just who she is and she was never going to stop.

That friendship really changed how I evaluate people for close friendship because I just felt like I was willfully blind to her poor behavior for several years and in retrospect, she was gossipy and mean pretty much the entire time I knew her. I just could not see it. So strange.[/quote]
