Socially Clueless

I think one reason I don't have friends is that I am just clueless socially.

I don't know what to say to people!

For example last night saw someone I haven't seen for about 6 months and she joked baout how she had been busy expanding, as in her weight - she made a motion with her hands, like she was getting a fat belly.

How do you respond to that?

A full 12 hours later I am thinking I SHOULD have said Noooooooo you look great!! As always!

Right? I mean she did look great, and not at all like she had gained weight, so not even a lie.

But instead I said something stupid like "I don't know what to say about that"

I mean, I meant I had weight issues of my own to deal with, like she wasnt alone in these concerns. But it came out all wrong of course.

How on earth do you get better at social responses anyway??

Unfriended

My daughter had a bit of a falling out with one of her friends.

They've sort of moved past it - they are civil still, they are just not BFF's anymore I guess you'd say.

I saw the mom yesterday and when I got home, realized I hadn't sen anything form her in ages on facebook.

Yeah, guess what - apparently she has unfriended me.

Because our kids are not besties anymore.

Yeah, I'm sort of hurt even though I shouldn't be.

Meanwhile an acquaintance of mine had added me to one of her sales groups. You know, where they constantly try to sell you crap?

It's so annoying! I didn't even ask to be added to the group!

I thought I could quietly remove myself from that group - no harm, no foul right?

SHE ADDED ME BACK IN!! Like almost right away!!! I guess at least I'm good for being a number on someone's sales page.
