Please Read I need advice

She hurt your feelings? She must be really hurt that you think she is shallow (etc.) Maybe she is, at least in your perception. You two aren’t meant to be friends. I had a friend who always bashed me negatively so I’m not friends with her anymore. You just need to get away from that. You have your other friends to support you. And they should. They should be fine with your decision, despite their own. They can still be friends with Maggie, if they want to.

I don’t think she is shallow… I was just pissed

You are socially healthy and considerate. It seems she is not. I see nothing wrong with your behavior in this situation. I also see that Maggie is not shallow, she is manipulative. I say this for the way she would corner you into things with the threat of social embarrassment. Secondly, if she makes fun of you for things you obviously can’t control, she aims to discourage you and place you somehow ‘lower’ than her, based on her own deeply seated and well hidden insecurities. These are the ways of the manipulator. You should wash your hands of her, and move on with your evidently positive, stable life.

If someone acts mean or disrespectful, and claims that they don’t like you, tell them to leave you, without returning. And if they still hang around with their bad attitude, it means either you have something they want, or they feel threatened by you somehow and want to ‘keep an eye’ on you.

Don’t let other people’s negativity spoil your life. If you care about them, try to help them out of their darkness. And if they can’t or won’t change for you, then move on. There is no need for words beyond this point.
