Thick

    Just wanted to say that all my mates call me thick behind my back and some think that I cant hear or wouldn't cop it. I am however not thick its just in social situations etc I dont function correctly. Like after been out when someone said something thinking I wouldn't cop it. I do, but I dont have the balls to say something to them there and then and I kick myself after it. Im afraid they will call me paranoid or make a show of it. These people wouldnt be friends as such just in the same group. I know I am far from thick but peoples opinions are getting me down and I'm giving myself alot of negative self talk. For instance today down at a friends house. My friends womans mate was there with another mate. I overheard the mate saying to the other beagle "Oh thats john, hes a bit duuhh, hes not the quickest." This really ****in pissed me off and i couldn't focus on anything else after that but that comment. I said it to her aswell when she said it I said what are you talking about, she just said "Oh i was saying you were quick" I gave her the yeah right eyes and ignored her. Starting to bug me a bit recently.

    I don't think these people are your friends.

    Simply put OP, "friends" who demean you in order to make themselves look good are not your friends.

    you need to stand up for your self a bit better, it will come with time but you need to make the effort. (no need to turn into a short fuzed mega bitch either).

    I wouldn't consider them friends not anymore but when were all out we are in a big group. When something is said by someone in the group I play dumb which makes me look even more stupid, the cycle goes on. I used to be really confident and would easy shoot them down but nowadays I just cant and im starting to let people walk on me.

    Your best revenge would be to show people that you're not stupid, then the joke would be on your "friends".

    These people are your friends why? Anybody who behaves in the way that these people have are not nice people and they are certainly not your friends. It's time to set about going out to meet new people who won't patronise you like these people are.

    Tell these friend to F off and find some new friends.

    I think you may benefit from finding some new friends. Or some real friends.

    It sounds as though the people that you socialise with need to put you down to make themselves feel better about themselves.
    With friends like that, you don't need enemies.
