My BFF says things like "she just loves love attention", and "she has to be different", and "it's always a competition", and "why do you eat so little it's not like your going to get fat".
For two years I took these recurring comments to heart thinking that I was secretly self-centered and competitive and too skinny. This of course combined with my preexisting anxiety and instilled belief I was a failure at everything (thanks ADHD) left me with a crushing about self-doubt. This year something changed though. I started going to therapy and realizing gradually how amazing I really am and even though I have a lot more room for growth I'm armed with enough confidence to say that I am different, and that's okay because I'm pretty great and hardworking and talented and worth something:)
Today though my friend said I always have to be different just because I don't like a band that she likes. I wanted to yell at her (instead I gave her a look of hurt, and told her it was rude) but all my friends were there and I didn't want to make a scene. She just laughed and walked away. She can be so fun and nice but then out of nowhere, she'll just say something like that?! I know she's jealous of my weight but I can't control that and I ALWAYS tell her she's amazing and beautiful literally at lease once every conversation! Honestly, I'm a good friend! I need to confront her about it and I've decided I'm going to text her, but How do I bring it up? I mean we just texted at lunch today about how our days are going great so far. How do I organically bring this up?

Oooh damn. Why don't you have this discussion in person? Things get misconstrued over text pretty easily. It's way more likely that you'll both misunderstand one another while airing your issues out via messaging...just a thought.
Replyi learned this the hard way, but sometimes talking to someone in person is the best way to get a message across. especially if it is really bothering you. just say how you feel without attacking her in any way. of course your wording will have to vary depending on her but remember that this is about you. be careful of her feelings but remember that she hurt you. sometimes it is best to forgive but not forget.
