Lost My Mind in Seoul...: In which I am a total jerk and make a complete stranger cry

It has been a stressful week for me. This term is almost over, I have a ton of assignments and papers due soon, I’m taking the Praxis on Saturday, and work has been really hectic. I agreed to meet a friend for coffee before class tonight to de-stress. I’ve been friends with this girl since middle…

I feel like your friend’s projecting. She might be needling your habits because she’s uncomfortable with herself. I’m not judging her, or saying she’s unhealthy. But people who feel the need to constantly pick and discuss and comment on someone’s habits annoy me. There’s something so rude to me about asking why, why about changed habits. You’re far nicer than I am because if someone had acted that way toward me, I would have been like…I’m eating the way I am because I want to. Now we can either talk and have a good time, or I can leave.

And your intentions while showing her the nutritional information were to just shut her up; that someone heard it and had a breakdown sucks, but it isn’t your fault, though I would have felt really bad as well.
