I think they’re just used to the old me, when I had no confidence.
Start by talking to that friend. Rather than being defensive, ask questions. Find out what, specifically, that friend was talking about when referring to you as cocky. Ask what they think you are doing differently now. Listen carefully so that you can get a sense of what’s on their mind.
Acknowledge that your life has changed. As you have lost weight, you are developing self-confidence, something you had little of before. Tell your friend that your life feels different. Describe what you like about getting healthier and what is challenging you. Among those challenges is the changing dynamic of your friend group.
Tell this friend and then the larger group that you see that they are treating you differently. Ask why. Tell them what you want. If that is to stay close to them, talk it out to determine what will make both sides happy. Know, too, that you may need to expand or re-curate your friend group.My mother buys my children whatever they ask for, but she usually asks that I reimburse her for the things that she buys.
My sons are at the age where they ask for a million things. I know when to say no to them, but my mother doesn’t. I end up paying for everything in the end. I’ve told her that I can’t afford for her to keep spoiling them like that, but she keeps doing it whenever they spend time with her. What should I do?Explain that you do not believe in giving your children all of the things that they request, and you cannot afford it. Warn her that, starting now, when she buys things for them, you will not be able to reimburse her. And then follow up with the matching action.
