Would you get offended too? Should I confront her?

Post Reply New Topic

I stumbled upon my mom's frenemy's daughter's blog by accident, meaning that she has no clue that I have been reading her blog posts. In one of her blog posts, she referred to me as "Somebody". She posted something like, "My mom told me that somebody has always refused to hunt for a job?! Hahaha, what's wrong with her? Working is so fun! I have been learnt a lot of skills from my current vacation job as a customer service officer. Cheers!"

Option 1: I should ignore this post and pretend that nothing has ever happened.
Option 2: I should leave a comment on her pointing out how her mom and her had done to offend me all these years. For example, according to my mom, this girl herself used to evasdrop on every phone conversation that my mom had with her mom.

Why do you think "somebody", mentioned once in a blog, by somebody who you only know of twice removed, with no other identifiers, must be you? Are you feeling guilt because you've "always refused to hunt for a job"?
If you're feeling guilt, deal with the guilt.
And ignore this person's blog in future as they could be referring to any of their loser friends

I recommend taking the higher ground and ignoring the post. In my experience, reacting to this sort of thing only leads to more problems. The reason why a person might not be specific about who they are referring to in a post is so if you confront them on it, they will have a "plausible deniability" and you will look like a fool for thinking they were referring to you.

But the problem is it is really frustrating to not be able to respond to an insult. You might find it helpful to write a response, but never send it.

You could leave an anonymous comment and insult her in some way. Just be sure that you don't reveal yourself. haha Plus, are you sure she was talking about you?

Doesn't sound that insulting to me. Just that she is puzzled as to why you wouldn't want to work since she supposedly enjoys her job so much. I'd reccomend letting it go since there is little to be gained from hashing out all the wrongs that have been done to you in the past. Just let these people be and don't spend much time with them.

Imo, she is overcompensating for her job anyway... no one enjoys customer service that much

I would just let it go. She may not have even been talking about you.
