I Believe a Good Sense of Humor Is Important

I don't know where else to put this, so I'll put this here. I have a friend, who I consider to be close, who makes insensitive comments that I don't know if she intends for them to be jokes or if she's being serious. She's basically accusing me of doing something I wouldn't do and that would be out of character for me or being something I'm not. I don't know if she's serious, but it hurts. One of the biggest ways to hurt me is to misunderstand me. Assume that I am a certain way (that I wouldn't consider good, btw) when really, I'm not. I think that's part of who she is, though. But it's making me question if I truly have a close girl friend. I'm a Christian and it's hard for me to find a friend who has the same morals as me, just simple things like not being so negative and gossip-y. Or just someone who values my friendship. I want someone who I feel I get close and personal with. And I don't feel like I can with her at all. Does anyone else feel this way?

"She's basically accusing me of doing something I wouldn't do and that would be out of character for me or being something I'm not". It sounds like shes making fun of you....possibly in a harmless way, but not being there no one can tell but you: if you like her company great, if not......

Are you a sensitive type, do you think?

@alexandriaruins: No worries. People tend to make fun of their acquaintances for two reasons: either they genuinely like them and they make fun as a way of creating a rapport....or they are just the type of person who likes to make the other person feel small. You probably know in your heart which camp your freind falls into.

@HeyNow: Thanks. :) That is actually very helpful. I don't think she means to hurt me. It's just that I'm very sensitive when it comes to certain things and she doesn't realize that.

@alexandriaruins: Two ways of dealing: tell her the way you feel, or toughen up :) Best way is probably a bit of both. X
