I have a new friend. I've known her about 9 months. She is really nice and fun. She is a little quirky, dresses a bit quirky, tries lots of different makeup styles. Problem is - she keeps pointing out how people are staring at her. And it is starting to annoy me.
I have absolutely no problem with people wanting to look different, change up their styles. Do your thing. My friend who I'll call Tess tends to do really extreme makeup - like IG models come to life. If anyone has seen IG models in person, you know it's very, very thick and obvious makeup that may look good on camera, but very noticeable in real life. Whenever we go somewhere, she will say, "Did you see those girls look at me?" "That guy just stared at me for the longest time." "That girl looked at me like she wanted to say something." Tess - how can you be oblivious to the fact that they are staring at you for a reason?
It's basically like, she does something for attention, when people give her attention, she kind of acts surprised like, why are they paying attention to me? Except I KNOW THAT SHE HAS TO KNOW. Maybe I'm being kind of mean, but it's been months of this.
I don't know if I should say something, call her out, leave her alone, make a joke about it, or just kind of slowly fade out. I don't dislike her - she's a nice person. But this habit is starting to grate me badly. Should I say something? Let it go?
TLDR: Friend wears thick, super dramatic makeup and then keeps saying "that guy is staring at me," "those girls were looking at me." It annoys me, but I know she's not a bad person. Should I call her out? Leave her alone? Am I bad person if I want to slowly stop hanging out?
