Am I being unreasonable? Please share your opinions.?

Question

I am straight, but have been single for a long time. Recently I found out two friends from college have been talking behind my back and calling me a L*****n. They may be homophobes, but I am not, and certainly have no issue with g*y people. However this really upset me, and I ended up telling one to "**** off." Now I wish I used a better comeback like, "well it takes one to know one." Anyhow, my question is whether I'm being unreasonable or am I right to be pissed?

How would you feel and act if you were in my situation?

Answer 1

This is very reasonable! I would be really mad too! I mean friends shouldnt talk about their friends like that! and i mean if they really knew you then they wouldnt call you something like that and they would know that callin you a l***o would most definately p**s ya off!

Therefor, I think you shouldnt even worry about it.... cuz theres plenty of people out their to be friends with.... prolly alot better too!

Answer 2

I wouldn't let this bother you unless they are telling a ton of people. If they are treating you like this, you don't want to be around them anyway if you don't have to. The main thing is that the people you really care about know the truth and that's all that matters. You did the right thing defending yourself from what they said and you are definitely not unreasonable.

Answer 3

well i dont get pissed off at people i see as dog s*** and they seem like dog s**** and it being me i would have said, out loud too... honey you are confusing me with someone else, i just got dont fuc***** your dad, you want to come smell me? his scent is all over me, im sure youll recognize it!!! hahahahahaha in her face!

Answer 4

ya i would react the same as you i would probably tell them to **** off,  i would be pissed because i thought they were my friends but ya you have a right to be pissed just ignore them and  live your life

Answer 5

i would react the same way....and i would drop ur friends.....if they r calling u a l***o when u not then they rnt ur real friends

Answer 6

I think your reaction is right on target.  I would be really ticked off if my two friends were calling me a L*****n behind my back.  If they really did do that, then you were right in telling them off.  If they denied it and you don't have any actual proof, then I would do more investigating before I cussed anyone out.  But it sounds like they did it deliberately because maybe you wear your hair shorter than other girls or don't date much, etc.  That is really mean, and they are not your true friends.  Ignore them and don't let them get the better of you.
