Tough Talk: June 10, 2024

Tough Talk,

One of my best friends from childhood is someone I care about a lot.  However, whenever she discusses me with her friends and family, she exaggerates and embellishes things I have said or have done which seems to be a way for her to make fun of me and act superior.  I’ve tried to tell her it’s not nice, but she either ignores me, minimizes what she said and if I press it, gets really mean and nasty.  What should I do TT? (Merrimac, Oregon)

Merrymac,

You need to force an outburst and tell her what a POSAH she is and then, if she doesn’t like it, tell her what does she expect for being such a SNSOS.  If she doesn’t apologize, tell her to ES and cut her loose.  And when anybody asks, make up some story where she robbed a bank or became a moll.
