Cried for 30 minutes

Went away on vacation and had a great time with some friends. Felt uneasy about pictures being tagged on facebook, but I'm pretty confident, despite my weight, because there's a lot more to me than how I look... so I was hopeful that all would be fine, felt like my friends would understand what I've been going through. Well, I come home and have a message from a friend of many years, who I haven't seen in a while, but who matters a lot to me. He said just this: "What happened to Corina? Did you eat her?!" And I cried for about 30 minutes. It hurt a lot.

Hopefully, you don't consider that person a friend anymore.

I'm really proud of you for dealing with the unease of being tagged, letting him know his comments hurt you, and continuing to do what you're doing (I would have eaten everything in the refrigerator and then probably eaten the refrigerator).

You're right. The ball is in his court. I'm not sure how he could return it in a way that would justify his comment or reassure you, though. I mean, if I had someone like that in my life, I'd always be standing on one foot (mentally) waiting for them to say something horrible like that again.

But he damn well better apologize anyway. Man, I hope he does apologize, so you can ignore it!

That must of been so hurtful! That person was certainly insensative to say the least.

Years ago I had a friend who told me he "Had the tendency to treat strangers better than he treated his friends." I didn't understand that until he started canceling plans at the last minute and always said, "Thanks for being understanding." After this happened a few times I said, "Let's be clear about this. I'm NOT understanding. I'm ANGRY. If I'm your friend I expect to be treated better than this." Shocked him. I hoped it would be a wake-up call. I let him go because I felt I deserved better. If I'm not mistaken you can delete the FB comment - but of course that doesn't take away the fact that it was there from the start. Good for you for putting the ball in his court. There are too many people nowadays who think it's okay to say, "I'm sorry if I offended you." Seems to me if someone could take a pause before they speak, or before they hit <enter> that many times hurtful feelings and misunderstandings can be avoided!
I appreciate the comments that have been made as far as motivation. Sometimes things like this can be the wake-up call that's needed to move you forward. I also had good chuckles at some of the stronger comments! Not my personal style but that's just me!
Good luck with resolving an issue in this friendship. His response (and then yours) may indicate next steps for where this friendship will head!

What a rude comment.

A poor reflection on him not on you.

Please forgive him. We all need forgiveness (you do this for yourself not for him) and then you move on without him.

Some people just like to be mean and think it is funny. My Dad was like that. He was like that about weight also if someone was not very attractive, he would comment isn't she pretty and laugh. I was never abused by anyone but my parents. They were horrible to me about my weight and if the truth was known probably caused a lot of it. My Dad would call and leave a message on the phone How many sandwiches have you ate today? My Mom would call and say do you have fluid? What does the doctor say about you?
I was about 40 lbs overweight and very sensitive. It is just the way some people are, act like jerks. They really enjoy being mean! and oh how they laugh.

well just get yourself together which is the best revenge. Cant change a mean person. Later throw it into their face and how they should be ashamed of themselves. Oh but they will have all kinds of excuses like my parents did, just trying to help you or don't be so sensitive, let it roll off like water off a ducks back. I tell you some people are just jerks. They have their own problems! its not you!

I know you were hurt, and everyone here is piling on your friend. Now that you have a bit of perspective, though, was his comment to you, specifically, or by "you" might he have meant a group, if you were tagged in a group photo? I can imagine a few friends who might make a remark like that if there were 6 of us on a trip and the same person was missing from a couple of them.

I'm probably wrong, but I try to see the best in people as much as possible. It's a shame that English lost the ability to distinguish between the singular and plural you. If you were German it would be easy to tell.

Down south we say y'all. As in 'Did y'all notice Mean Commenter apparently turned into an incredible *kitten* over the years?'

This is absolutely horrible. Sadly, I know people like this. An Ex-friend of mine from college was like this and believe me when I say she should've been the last person judging anyone for anything. To this day, her hurtful comments and overall demeanor haunt me, because I was one of her closest friends according to her. I'd say to kick this guy to the curb and keep on keeping on

What a jerk.

What an *kitten*....DELETE!
