Friend accusing me of lying about liking sushi

[jashley]

I am so upset this friend from church just sent me a message after I responded to her post asking if anyone wants to get sushi and she asked if I liked sushi. When I responded that I thought it was ok, she said "thats not what you told me the other day, Im pretty sure you told me you dont like sushi" and I said I didnt say that, I said it was ok but not my favorite, and she said "I dont believe thats what you said the other day, I specifically remember you saying you dont like sushi and you are being dishonest with me, I dont want you to come if youre going to lie to me, I dont even know why you want to come since you dont like sushi" after I repeatedly told her no thats not what I said she still kept calling me a liar and wouldnt believe me. I know I didnt lie about not liking sushi and dont know how to get her to believe me, and am so upset she probably hates me now and thinks Im a liar and doesnt want to believe me I dont know what to doI feel like she never wanted me there in the first place and was making an excuse. Do you think I should ask her if she ever wanted me there in the first place? It was posted on my church groups FB group that she knows I am a part of. And after I apologized and explained myself she said ok I guess I misunderstood and I asked if I could still come she said yes but then an hour later messaged me saying everyone who was going cancelled so she wasnt going to do it and that she would reschedule for next week.

Don't allow others to manipulate and control you.  If you know that you were truthful but are accused of lying, then just move on.  Find a true friend.  It is not easy to move on, but it is better than being trapped in the machinations of others.

Jashley, you have posted several threads like this now about people in your church.  They sound very cliquey and unChristlike to me.  May I suggest finding another church or at least other friends within that one?  The things you have described tell me that these people don't like you.  Dust them off your feet and move on.  Some people are just mean and they seldom change.

Good advice. Sounds like time to move on to another church. Life's too short for that kind of drama-rama. I've been to churches like that myself, and folks like that seldom change, so I move on.

I'm sorry but some people are just weird. I don't mean you. I mean your "friend" getting mad over sushi? Accusing you of lying over sushi? Really? What kind of person does this? I don't like Chines food but I will at times eat it cause my husband likes it and some of it is okay with me. But I tell people I don't like it and I do not think it is a lie when I do so. But seriously, if this so-called friend is accusing you of being a lying about sushi to the point that you are upset, I really think you need to rethink if this person is truly a friend or not. Cause you don't need someone in your life who is going to jump all over you for sushi.

Sushi is Japanese, but this whole incident is weird. Looks like someone got a dose from a Puffer Fish and poisoned their relationship!

I know sushi is Japanese. I just used the Chines food as an example. I don't like sushi either. And yeah the whole thing is strange.

not to sound rude, but who cares? if theyre willing to make this big of an issue over Sushi, then theyre likely not your friend anyway. move on, get new friends.

Absolutely. But at a certain age (or stage in life) popularity is extremely important, and shallow friendships count for something.

has anyone other than me tried highlighting a couple sentences of the OP, then searching google for exact matches to it? like you might if you were looking to see if material had been plagiarized, or trying to find the source of a quote?  

does the result of such a search mean anything to anyone . . ?
