[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 728342, member: 4152"] The competition thing certainly has come up. Even my husband senses it (and he is usually oblivious to such things). I’m confused because I thought it took two to play these game and I have t been engaged in this at all. My husband suggested that this could be something she does at work or literally with every woman she knows. Perhaps it’s worsened in recent years. Ack We are in a new neighborhood and I’ve already heard a little discussion along these lines from one woman in particular...competing with another neighbor. From her own mouth. Ugh. Maybe this other neighbor doesnt even know ?!?! I tend to compete with myself. And if I truly love something someone else has I do t get all weird and sneaky about it. I’ll admire it and on a rare occasion ask if it’s ok if I get something similar. BUT the truth is I have my own style. Hubby says it might make insecure people crazy. I don't know. She ignored my requests not to take the photos. She ignored my requests to take them a certain way. She ignored my requests to take only two. Then in texts she dismissed my concerns. I explained myself a few different ways. Then she told me to ask my husband what he thinks. He says we (him and I) both look rather poorly. It will be hard for me to respond because I almost feel like I’m begging at this point. But I think in a day or two I will simply say that both my husband and I don’t care for the photos and that they remind me of being sick and I would appreciate it if she either deletes them or at the very least not show them to anyone. Mind you, she already told me that I was being silly and that my dress and Hair were beautiful. Anyway, I suppose there is a small chance my Hair and dress in her mind overcomes all those other things. I don't know. YES ...I think this is very likely much more about how she thinks SHE looked. And yes, I think she is being a “snot.” It is not the end of the world, but does feel crummy. Thanks a TON for listening. It is sooooo helpful. :) PS LOVE calling it FAKEBOOK!!!! Lololol [/QUOTE]
