Your Friend Is Rude In Every Conversation
Some folks lack conversation skills, and manage to behave rudely with every word that comes out of their mouth. Maybe they love to talk but when you try to say a few words they talk over you. Or perhaps they blurt out rude questions, throwing you off-guard.
Having social grace is a learned skill, so help your friend by showing them the verbal boundaries you find acceptable. When they cross the line, tell them:
“Your question is so rude I’m actually at a loss for what to say.” Then change the subject to something else.
Or: “I wonder if you’d like it if someone said that same thing to you or your kids. Probably not. I expect more from someone like you that I consider a friend.”
