I am at a very competitive school. The people who I thought were my friends turned out to be people who wanted to destroy me in academic competition. One specific case was a girl who used to be really nice, but then she admitted to me that her mom was kind of a “tiger mom” and was saying to her that she should get more involved in things like I do at school. The girl isn’t my friend anymore since our “friendship” was kind of getting killed by the competition. Whenever I see her mom, I feel like I am always judged and I don’t like it. I feel that if I make a mistake her mom will just bash on me, and the girl who used to be my friend will think less of me. The situation as it is now is that the girl is using hidden aggression (passive aggressiveness pretty much) I’m not sure how to handle the situation, that is the mom and the girl. How do I handle them and just hidden aggression in general?
