[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I don't think you guys are getting it. The photos I post are not a big deal. They are like candid photos where she is making a weird face or something. They might be mildly embarrassing but nothing to get worked up about. I actually had one of her that was genuinely really unflattering and showed it to her. She even got mad about that and I didn't even post the photo, I just texted it to her.

I guess what you are saying is that she is not really my friend. I don't know, maybe you are right. We have lots in friends in common though, so we see each other a lot. I just don't see why I should have to walk on eggshells around her or change my whole sense of humor because she is so sensitive.[/quote]

YATA:  I would say that you are not really HER friend.  You’re deliberately being mean to her in ways that you know she’s sensitive about, and you justify it to yourself as “no big deal” even when you realize that it is a big deal to her. Friends don’t do that. Not even my acquaintances would do that more than once.

You don’t have to change yourself, you just need to befriend other people with your sense of humor — if that’s what you want to call it.  I’m glad to know that she has other friends. I hope they treat her with respect, thoughtfulness and empathy, along with a more mature level of humor. [/quote]
