Are you part of this group? Is it something that she and others obviously know you are? Sounds like you need New friends. Sorry.

How do you react when an acquaintance tells you she wishes people in a group you belong to would just kill themselves? Especially when you're desperate for friends and she runs the group. Not complicated.

No, it's not. How is this even a question??
Spoiler alert: You leave the damn group and look for friends elsewhere.
Tip: provide context next time. This is utterly bizarre for someone to say, and context would help.

I didn't want to start a debate, but fine. It was along the lines of "I wish Jews/Christians/Muslims/Democrats/Republicans/Midwesterners/feds/whatever would just kill themselves". I belong to the group in the group. She does not know (so yeah, it's not race).

And yes, I'm that desperate for friends. I'm so lonely it's killing me.

Does she have any potential to be a decent person (ie: ignorant vs evil)?

I'm honestly not sure yet. I suppose that would make a difference.

Wait. Is she part of the group who she said something hateful about?

She is not.

-op

Is she aware you are part of the group she referred to?

No, I don't think so. I'm not sure, though.

Its possible and probable that others in the group do not feel the same way.

I would have pushed back pretty hard when it was said, and then invite some of the others (at a different time) to get together.

If they don't accept, start looking elsewhere.

Can't imagine the group to which this women was referring.

You're going to be friends with this person just because you're desperate for friends?

What? Context matters. Try again, op.

I don’t understand the question.

"It's too bad you people won't just kill yourselves."

Not including the group on purpose, both so I won't be attacked and because I personally think it's irrelevant. But this acquaintance is kind of the queen bee of the group, and I'm unsure how to proceed with everyone else. I'm new in town, and don't have any friends of my own - the entire circle is basically acquaintances. I don't know how deep this kind of feeling goes, and I'm desperate for friends. Ideas?
