Comment MEAN GIRL for exact words & tips to use if you’re experiencing this so you don’t lose your confidence (or your circle) in the process. And if one person can quietly shift an entire group’s perception of you, without ever saying anything technically wrong? That’s not “drama.” That’s social manipulation.

Comment Outfit for links.

And share your story how you handled a mean girl that was running a smear campaign about you.

As for the 4 Reasons Everyone Buys the Mean Girl’s Lies Before Hearing Your Side, it’s because:

It was told first so it becomes the default “truth.” Meanwhile, the person being targeted looks defensive, shocked, or quiet which people confuse with guilt.

Social rejection is scarier. So we adopt the beliefs of the group to be safe & to belong even if it doesn’t sit right with us privately.

We process & remember negative information more quickly & for longer than positive details. We treat it like a warning, “remember this so you don’t get hurt.”

Once you’re labeled as “the problem,”
people start seeing everything they do through that lens. Even normal behavior looks like “proof.” And sharing outrage? It bonds people.
It’s gossip disguised as virtue.

As for the 3 Reasons You Can’t Find Friends Who Meet You Halfway it’s because:

You don’t leave space for others to show up.
You fill every silence in conversation, fix awkward moments, and over explain to keep the peace. But when you do it all, you unintentionally train them to do less.

You confuse effort with connection.
You think the more you give, the stronger the friendship but real connection only works when the effort is mutual.

You make it too easy for people not to try.
You plan & text before anyone else even thinks to. You mean well but over time, they stop initiating because they know you’ll do it.

The right friendships will meet you halfway but first, you have to stop walking the whole distance for everyone else.

As for the 4 Ways a Mean Girl Covert Narcissist Rewrites the Story to Make You the Villain:

They label you before you can label them.
“She’s crazy.” “She’s dramatic.”
They say it first so when you finally speak up, it sounds like the story they already warned others about.

They twist your strengths into flaws.
Confident? She’s Intimidating.
Kind? She’s Fake.
Set boundaries? She’s cold.
They can’t handle what makes you respected, so they try to discredit it.

They’ll accuse you of copying them. Translation: she needs to stay the original so she can stay in control. This is about her need for power & hierarchy.

And they play the victim, loudly. They’ll hint that you’re the problem so others rush to comfort them. The goal isn’t truth, it’s sympathy and social power.

And share your story below, if this has happened to you.

As for the 4 Ways a Mean Girl Narcissist Gets Your Friends to Pull Away from You, she:

-She plants concern (“she’s sweet but…) about you in casual chats just enough to make people question your stability, judgment, or motives, without ever saying anything directly.

“I don’t want to talk behind her back, but…”
“That was… kind of weird, right?”
“She’s sweet but…”

-She gets close to your friends one-on-one, subtly shifting loyalty until you’re left out of plans and they’re convinced it “just happened that way.”

-When you finally speak up or set a boundary, she rewrites the story so you become the villain and suddenly, she’s the one everyone feels sorry for.

-She tells half the story, the half that makes you look bad. Not the part about what she said or did that led up to it.

Comment Glasses for outfit links to these from @shopeyeconic @vspvisioncare

If you want to see how these would look on your face, they have an easy, virtual try on tool on eyeconic.com. They have a great selection from Longchamp and Kendra Scott to Calvin Klein and Lacoste (like the ones I’m wearing here). And you can connect your VSP vision benefits for extra savings on your new pairs.

People make up their mind about you in just 3 seconds & one of the first things they notice? Are your eyes. They tell your whole story, confidence, warmth, and approachability, all before you even say a word.

Put on something you don’t like, and you’re suddenly shrinking back, second guessing yourself, without even realizing what you put on was doing half the talking.

So next time you wonder if your glasses matter? They do. When you like how you look, you like how you feel. And when you feel good, you show up better everywhere, in friendships & all. And the right eyewear can make all the difference. #vspvisioncare

& Comment Outfit for outfit links.

As for the 4 Ways Boy Moms Are Mean Girl Moms Too:

-They treat “boy mom” as an identity badge & cluster only with other boy moms, turning it into a tribe outsiders can’t join.

-At birthday parties, they make parties “boys only,” as a way to quietly exclude moms who aren’t in their circle.

-You invite them to your child’s party, they ignore the chat then when your son asks their son why they didn’t come, he says they were “just at home doing nothing.” The real message? Your child isn’t worthy of being their child’s friend.

-At school pick-up, they make a big show of saying hello, sometimes loudly in front of others, then dart off before any real conversation can happen. It looks polite, but really keeps you at arm’s length.

As for the 3 things you can do now to make new friends & stop feeling lonely:

-Stop looking for your best friend and look for who is the most approachable person that you see most often.

-Then ask them out with a time bound invite.
Instead of “Let’s hang out sometime,” try: “Want to go for a walk tomorrow morning or this weekend with me?”

-And on the friend date, use the 50/50 rule: For every 5 minutes, notice, are you doing all the asking, or all the talking? Adjust so it’s balanced relationship from the start.

And comment OUTFIT if you’d like links to what I’m wearing.

As for the 4 signs Your Friend Is Really a Frenemy & why that hurts more than a mean girl:

-They’re a selective cheerleader & will only cheer for you if it makes them look good
-Otherwise they’ll go silent when you succeed
-They stay close enough to benefit from you (status, invites, access) while also keeping you in “your place” with backhanded compliments or subtle digs.
-They secretly prefer you struggling. They feel closer to you because they feel superior when you’re down but flip when you start doing good.

As for the 4 Breadcrumb Games Mean Girls Play to Make Sure You Know You Don’t Belong, they:

-Hint at inviting you to the next group plan or event but the invite never comes & you find out on social media that it’s already happened.
-Then they claim they “forgot” to invite you but notice how they didn’t forget anyone else. That’s not forgetfulness…
-When they do invite you, they “forget” to tell you key details like a dress code change, meeting spot, or inside joke so you show up unprepared…
-And They run hot and cold on purpose, just enough warmth to pull you back in, then ice you out to remind you you’re not one of them.

& Comment OUTFIT for links to what I’m wearing.

As for the 3 reasons why you trigger people:
-You did more with less. They can’t explain it, so they put you down.
-They see you as competition. So “good for her,” becomes, “why not me?” So they go quiet or turn cold.
-You show up happy & confident, just being yourself & suddenly the whispers or eye rolls start. You remind them of what they’re missing.

People aren’t really triggered by you. They’re triggered by what being around you brings up in them. It’s not really you. It’s what they feel when you walk in the room.

Comment “Mean Girls” for exact words & tips to handle these situations, inside my members area, Assertive You or my How to Handle Grown Mean Girls Without Creating Drama Guide. This is the gaslighting game: they minimize, use excuses, and deflect until you’re left questioning yourself instead of their behavior.

& Comment OUTFIT for links to what I’m wearing.

As for the 4 Ways Mean Girls Gaslight You Into Thinking You’re the Problem:

They call you paranoid or say you’re overthinking things. It makes you doubt what’s right in front of you, until you stop trusting yourself.

They say you’re creating drama. You bring up what happened, and suddenly you’re the problem. That’s gaslighting, flipping your reality so speaking up feels wrong.

They hide behind excuses. “I was busy.” “I forgot.” “I thought you knew.” Convenient excuses that protect them from accountability.

They flip it into, “Well, what about when you…?” Now you’re defending yourself, and the real issue never gets addressed.

-& if they do say hi, they give a fake smile that never reaches their eyes (telling you exactly how they feel).
-They badmouth or gossip about you so much in front of their kids that their kids no longer want to play with yours.
-& they make inside jokes from last year in the new class group chat so newcomers feel left out and to remind everyone who runs the chat

Comment OUTFIT for links to what I’m wearing.

The subtle tactics mean girl moms use at back-to-school aren’t so random, they:

– Ask about your summer like it’s friendly conversation, but it’s really a status check to see who “won” summer.
– Say, “That’s so nice… did you only stay local?” code for not exactly impressive.
– Gush about all the vacations & playdates they had with other kids in the class, reminding you and your child you weren’t part of it.
– Light up the group chat celebrating class lists, until you share your child’s name and the energy shifts.

They do it to feel in control.

Comment “Villa” for our villa name at the @thecolonypalmbeach & “Pink Hotel” for more tips & phrases to use to help your child remember their summer.

Restaurant: Swifty’s at The Colony Hotel

Our beautiful villa was so spacious and you had access to a private pool.

And comment Outfit for links.

Let’s be honest, most of us don’t remember every vacation we took as kids. What we remember are the feelings. The little rituals. And yet, as parents, we pour energy into making summer magical only to wonder later if it even stuck. Memory is made from emotion and repetition.

So instead of overpacking their day, repeat the moments that made them smile. It was helping them build sand castles everyday. Taking bubble baths that turned into giggle fits. Bed jumping in superhero capes. Sitting under the vines over pasta & ice cream. Playing the same card game every night. The hours in the pool where you let them stay a little bit longer. They’ll never forgot how it felt to stay at the pink hotel.
