I am a part of a group of neighborhood moms that regularly socialize together.  Overall I do enjoy spending time with them, but there is one mom "Jane" who often makes cutting  remarks to me that makes me question if she is a real friend or if deep down she actually dislikes me. For example a few months ago our group of friends came over to my house after a neighborhood event, and Jane and one other woman I am not close with stayed later than everyone else. We were in my kitchen, which we just renovated a few months earlier, and Jane kept going through my  kitchen cabinets and made comments about how little stuff was in them.  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 was so shocked and taken aback that I didn't say some in the moment and just laughed uncomfortably.

Jane doesn't work and I work full time and am the main breadwinner for my family, so it really felt like she was putting me and my home down in that moment, especially in front of this other woman who I don't know well and who has a reputation of being well off.  I personally worked hard to save up to afford our renovation, so it really felt like a put down in the moment.

This is the one example that I am having a hard time moving past, but there have been many other times I have felt cut down by her.  Am I being too sensitive here or is this a sign that she actually doesn't like me? I get she had been drinking at the time, but I still think it was a pretty inexcusable thing for a middle aged woman to do and say. [/quote]
