So...

So, I went out with the (deaf)(2 being teachers of deaf) girls on tuesday night and it was fantastic. I had a real good laugh, and to be honest, as a mother who doesn't get much time to myself, it was lovely to have adult conversation, besides my parents and family members. (normally I'm talking to Fredders!)
It's just that one comment that someone made at the table that kind've ruined the evening for me, and I'm still reeling after it.. that I was 'self-centred'. Now, I have never been viewed as self-centred in all my life, so it hurt to think that supposedly one of my friends think that I am. I don't know if it's because I was talking about my life (remembering that I haven't seen this particular individual for nearly a year) to her and saying about Fred and Chris etc, but despite that, it was hardly me talking all night when she was doing the same about what she's been up to. I'm a listener and a talker, I obviously have an opinion, but I care about my friends and want to know about them. So I'm confused. I actually felt so upset, that I almost became paranoid that I was, but I asked Chris and he said that I was the least self-centred person he knew - so that's good enough for me. Just thought it was totally the wrong time, but another friend did stand up for me and said she didn't think I was or ever had been so that made me feel supported. :-)
