Why does everyone get so pissed off at me?

Question

Do they want me to tell lies? For instance... today i was sitting in lunch with my friends, and one of them asked me if i liked their shirt, she kept bragging, saying it was worth so much money. And i told her i didn't like it. No remarks, i just said i didn't like it. And everyone got mad at me and said that was so messed up. I don't get it.

Answer 1

She obviously liked it a lot, so if shes your friend you should be making her feel good about herself.

If you had something that you really liked and someone said it was lame you would feel like someone was trying to burst your happy little bubble. Treat people how you would like to be treated.

Answer 2

well that was a bet rude

just be nice and lie say omg i love ur shirt and all

ppl hate when they get insults

so u should be more nice

and next think before u speak

and ignore them showing off

Answer 3

I have the same problem alot.  People say they want your opinion but ifyou dont tell them what they are fishing for they get upset.  Keep being yourself...you will keep true friends who value your honesty in the long run.

Answer 4

Well

If she is little miss queen bee, of course everyone is going to agree with her-

Cudos for you standing up for yourself.

Don't let her little braggy self bring you down..

Just don't stoop down to their level.

Answer 5

Well like they say, "Sometimes The Truth Hurts"

But hunn, you were honest and you should have gotten kudos for that one.

If she asked if you like her shirt, she should have been prepared for an honest answer, and I don't think your friends had the right to get mad at you for telling the truth, its your opinion and you are in-titled to one, don't let their s****. attitudes ruin yours. Forget about it, and if that kind of situation comes up again and they get mad at you, so "Look, I don't like your shirt, get over it. Its my opinion and if you don't like it don't ask!"

Hope This Helps.

Best of Luck.

Answer 6

people are weird, i had that problem with an old group of friends where they would all gang up on me and tell me i was wrong. it happened so much i just left them and found a new group of friends. if it happens a lot to you then maybe consider finding a new group, but if not try to talk it out

Answer 7

Well, you were being blunt, and it probably would have been better for you just to say nothing. If she asked you what you thought, over a shirt, you could have just said its cool. I like it. Sounds like you enjoy drawing attention to yourself.

Answer 8

OMG common sense. Do you have any or are you just rude? You don't have to say that you like but you could say something like, "it's nice."

Answer 9

If  you all are truly friends, you should be able to say that her shirt sucks a*****e and she shouldnt think any different of you.

get new friends

Answer 10

wow how stupid!gud job gurl u told hur off!lmao maybe cuz the top wus cute but since she keep bragin thats wat she gets or mayb she was proud of it and yuu put hur down either way she shouldnt have bragged!

Answer 11

Dude, just tell them you like it. It's not worth them getting mad at you, is it?~

Answer 12

that same thing happens to me all the time!! My friend is extremely fat and she wears these hideous tops all the time like a shirt and then a mismatch tank top. She braggs that it cost 50 dollars or whatever and i hate it what i usually do is talk to my friends when he/she isnt around to see if they really liked it.they usually dont!

Answer 13

have you ever heard the old saying "truth hurts"?Well,its true,I am brutely honest myself sometimes and somepeople just can not handle the truth,If she did not want to know your opinion then she should not have asked you,and always keep in mind that it is not always what a person says that hurts or makes it so bad but how they say it!maybe that is what you are looking for,

Good Luck! Its all about respect,ok.

Answer 14

well...first off i dont think you should lie but sometimes you need to tell white lies...even though you might not like the shirt, tell you friend is really nice because she might love it. its good that your truthful but sometimes we need to make people feel good.  

Answer 15

Get used to it. Women hate people who tell the truth.

Women want you to affirm their opinions, not tell what you really think or feel.

Don't worry about it; your girl friends will grow up and realize that they cannot control you. Just keep being honest.

Answer 16

well you may have said it in a way that your friend considered rude. and personally i agree with being honest if someone asks you a question. next time you could say something like "its not really my style but it suits you". its rude that your friend was acting s****. about it tho.  if she didnt want the truth she shouldnt have asked...........unless you may have been a tinsy bit jealous....but i dont know. props to ya for the honesty. maybe just express your opinion in a slightly different way nxt time. or, when everyone got mad, you could have said "well you asked and I told you what i thot, dont ask nxt time then " :-).....theyll prob shut their mouths after that

Answer 17

Your a bit blunt... Try saying it tackfully next time?

Good luck (:

Answer 18

try a little bit more tact next time!if my friend was really proud of a new shirt and kept going on about it id stay quiet but if she asked my opinion i wouldn't straight out say i didn't like it id just be like uhhh yeah its ok..maybe say it suits you but I wouldnt wear it..most of the time you do have to lie a bit to keep people happy!

Answer 19

Answer 20

because you arent supposed to be rude to your friends and what you said was very rude

Answer 21

You call them friends, I call them snobs.  Actually I have other names for them but I try not to use such language around humans let along young women.

I'm 60 years old so my perspective is different from yours but I don't and won't have "friends" like you have.  My adult son observed that I didn't have many friends but they really are friends, not some bunch of jerks I hang around with to be cool.

Like I said, my perspective is different but if I were in your position I would tell my "friends" not to ask a question if they can't stand the answer.  Then I would leave them to there warm and fuzzy petting and find a real friend or two.  Outside my immediate family I have two people I consider friends, either would help me dispose of a dead body and I would do the same for them.

Learning about "friends" was a long evolutionary process for me.  I wish I had learned it 30 years sooner.  I would have wasted a lot less time on trying to make friends.  A friendship will happen, you can't force it and your "friends" are anything but friends.

Now let's see how you handle the answer to your question.  Are you hurt, offended, angry or are you really looking for an answer and not just searching for someone to validate your position?  Whatever that position might be.

Answer 22

dont say bad comments out lous andn if your girls are talking a bout your enemy just act call and say wut you need to say but in a polite way u can get away like that

Answer 23

I guess it's considered rude to tell someone you don't like their clothes, even if you don't.  Basically, oyu shouldn't have said anything unless it's positve or picked out something about the shirt that you liked, like the color or something and told her oyu liked it. But, at the same time, it sounds like she was being a little conceeded about it, maybe you just wanted to set her straight?  

Answer 24

It's not your fault they are mad at you. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Answer 25

People cannot, by and large, handle the truth.  Most people are so hung up about being politically correct, that no one ever has to handle rejection or hurt on any level.  What are the "pc victims" going to do when they lose a job?  How will they handle it?  

Answer 26

You are entitled you your opinion.  But maybe you could word it differently like.  I honestly wouldn't buy it for myself, but it looks good on you...

Answer 27

Now you know something new about your friends they don't like honesty .. oh well .

Answer 28

I think it's all in the way you say it.

But it shouldn't matter to true friends if you disagree. If she just wants friends who will agree with her, then she's not worth your time.

Answer 29

you stick to your guns and be truthful with them  one day they'l respect your honesty rather than

everyone asss-l*****g each other to just be mates with the lead girl in her crappy shirt!

Answer 30

screwem... told your honest opinion but everyone is expecting you to be a yes man... yes this yes that never a no..

screwem.

Answer 31

people don't like to get rightfully put in their place, and congrads to you for sticking up to her. this will more than likely teach her a lesson. good job, people will be mad,but probably just temporarily. if not, get some better friends.
