How would you feel

How would you feel if you caught a friend making faces at you behind your back. Would you be hurt or would you let it go over your head?

    I'd be very hurt, and have no doubt that it would play on my mind and probably be a difficult memory forever.

    However, I'm quite a paranoid person and so I'm probably not the best person to base your thoughts on!

    Depends on their intention.

    it depends - what were you saying at the time and what faces were they pulling?

    I'd be spitting feathers!

    It all depends on whether they semi-knew you would/could see them. Like if you were fooling around, everyone having a joke etc...

    Or, you caught them in the reflection of something shiny and you had been having a serious conversation. Depends on context really :beer:

    It would probably depend on the situation. If they were meaning it as a bit jokey then I wouldn't be too bothered, if it was a serious subject or something that they knew was important to me then it would upset me a bit more.

    I had been at a funeral and was at the church for refreshments afterwards. This friend who I've known for 15 years was sitting beside me chatting to me and people being people were teasing him. So he made a face at me not realising of course I had seen him.

    He was being teased so to lighten the mood and shift some over, he pulled a face towards you. Maybe was his way of coping, wouldn't fret too much - if he is an actual friend you could just call him up and clarify.

    I would say it depends on the friendship, I have some that if they aren't taking the mick and pulling faces I get worried. Others however I do not have that degree of friendship with so would be annoyed (and have broken friendships over)

    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
