Last weekend, I had a sleepover with one of my friends (who I'll call Sasha) , and I told her about a family matter I was going through because I couldn't stop thinking about it (and also because I ended up crying about it in front of her) . It's still weighing on my mind a lot and I think it's really taken a toll on how much I can enjoy myself when I'm around my friends. I was actually hanging out with her and one of my other friends at a fair last night, and I wasn't really enjoying myself or talking to them too much. Sasha was asking me if I was okay, which I kept saying yes to, but eventually I told her that I was still thinking about the family matter, and during the fair, she made a few jokes about it and some jokes about how I looked. This kinda made me feel more bummed out, and honestly, a little bit angry. On one hand (like me), Sasha doesn't have many friends and know she struggles with that, so it just might be a social thing she doesn't get. But, on the other hand, she can be kinda cruel (not in a malicious way), so I'm kinda stuck. I really wanna tell her that I would prefer if she didn't make jokes about my family matter, but I don't want her to feel awkward or call me something.

What do you guys think?
