how do you handle it? Do you tell them immediately that they hurt your feelings or do you internalize it? Does it make you more guarded? Does it take away something from the relationship?....Or do you just laugh it off and not let it bother you?

I was totally taken aback by what a close friend said to me on Friday, and though I know sometimes she doesn't think before she speaks, I tried not to take it personally...but at the moment it has made me more guarded...and I really don't want to be around her right now; but she's working with me. I did tell her it hurt when she said what she did, and I thought I had dealt with it, but if I'm talking about it...I still must be ticked...
