Q: So I spent the whole of last week snowboarding. Because I'm a person who just goes for things and doesn't think about the consequences, I decided to buy a helmet. I was practicing jumps and I intended to keep my head safe, because I'd already hurt it a few times.
I saw my friend at the end of the week, and she looked at my helmet and said ''God, you're such a pussy. Only amateurs wear helmets''
I personally thought that wanting to keep myself safe doesn't make me a ''pussy'' nor an amateur. Or am I just over-reacting?
What are your thoughts on this?
You should ask yourself what kind of person your friend is. (I mean in how she talks)
Just because she uses that language to you or her friends doesnt mean she is rude, she is probably just being "one of the guys" or trying it out.

Case in point: I hang out with a bunch of Aplha males. We are jerks, talk trash and have a good time. If you are in our circle and we like you, you are bound to get called things once in a while (but we expect you to come back with snappy answers too) When chicks do it, we dig it.

I may be wrong on this, but I'm just judging it by the circle of people I hang out with, we've lost many an associate by the way we kid.

Could be true, but she generally doesn't say things like that unless she's serious about what she says.
