Friend makes comments on every guy I like, but says I can’t think for myself, AIO?
I have a friend that always makes comments on things I do. Specifically, when it comes to my dating life. Anytime I say I think a guy is cute, unless she thinks he’s actually cute, she’ll always make a face (to imply she thinks hes ugly). Even when I’ve briefly dated a guy she’ll say he’s ugly or I can do better. I have suffered from self esteem related issues, so I kind of have a habit of shooting lower attraction wise, but I still think the unsolicited option thing is not cool.
Over the years, this has kind of caused me to always ask if she thinks someone is ugly or not out of fear that I can’t make good decisions regarding the physical appearance or the guy I date.
Last night for example, I went “oh that guy is cute” while as he walked past us across the street. She then makes a face indicating he’s questionably ugly and I ask her if she thinks hes ugly. She tells me that it doesn’t matter what she thinks and that I need to think more for myself. She’s right, but im confused as to why does she continues to make these comments and faces regarding the people I like or date, just to tell me I need to not respond to what she thinks.
Also, if I were to do the same to her, she would quickly become annoyed or upset. And I mean there are guys she’s dated or had as a boyfriend in the past I thought weren’t cute, but I never said that to her because it’s her decision and not my place to make that comment.
Just stop telling her anything? AIO?
