My friend teases me by comparing me to Amy Winehouse. How should I tell him to stop?
by Admin on Mar.21, 2010, under Female Celebrities
Before, I know he was joking, but now, it’s getting a little annoying. I’m starting to think that I do look like her and before I didn’t think that. I know this sounds really bad, but I feel like crying sometimes, especially knowing that I got compared to better looking people.
How should I tell him to stop. If I told him by email do you think it is kind of cowardly?

ask him if he is gay … but keep on mentioning it. there is nothing worse for a straight guy to hear

Aww, if it’s any consolation, I think she is very pretty (or @ least she was till the smack got a hold of her)
Either way, tell him if you are Amy, then he is slimy Blake, and if he doesn’t cut it out you are going to claw his face like she did lol

Same way she would. Kick him in the teeth.

It would be better in person, that way you seem more sincere and like you really want to be listened to. Suggested approach, “I know we kid around a lot, and mostly I like it, but I want to tell you that comparing me to Amy Winehouse is hurtful to me. I don’t like her, and I don’t want anyone to associate me with her name, even in kidding, so please don’t do that anymore.” GL

Hit ‘im in th’ face w’i'yer crack pipe.
Seriously, slough it off – what is beauty, but in the eye of the beholder?

Is HE movie star gorgeous? I don’t think so. It’s a compliment being compared to a beautiful person. But you know what? Most “Beautiful People” aren’t either unless their photos are air brushed to make them look better. You’re fine, babe.

i think that if the email doesnt work, tell him face-to-face that it really really bugs you, and that you dont want to be compared to random people for no reason. whatever you do, make him look like the jerk, not you (dont fight back). i know this sounds manipulative, but its the nicer way to get him to stop, and hopefully rally other people on your side.

- An email would be okay, but not recommended.
If you are writing an email, make it a long one, and talk as if you are talking in person. The difference is he can respond to each question spontaneously. Use this to your advantage and state what he’s done, why you don’t like it, and say firmly but not rudely that you want him to stop.
But. DO NOT blame him (not obviously or directly, anyway) in a way that makes him want to hate you, and be polite. He should feel bad but not and up being your worst enemy.
And do go over what you’ve written, clear out any grammar or spelling mistakes. The last thing you want is him thinking you spent two minutes on it, just because you were bored and had nothing better to do.
-If it makes any difference, handwrite a letter and mail it to him or slip it in his bag when he’s not looking. The fact that you actually took time to write it out seems more sincere.
- The [better] alternative is meet up with him in person. If you are really serious, schedule a time and tell him to please be there, on time. You don’t have to tell him what for, but that it’s important.
Sit down with him and talk him through it. Same as with the email, but listen to his answers and NEVER interrupt him. Don’t raise your voice (okay, maybe you can if you’re super annoyed, but don’t, you know… scream at him) and always act like a sane person.
- After the letter/meeting, if he still continues annoying you this way or any other way, stop being friends with him. (If he’s someone your parents insist you be friends with, talk it out with your parents)
You don’t have to go up to him and say “I hate you! I won’t talk to you ever again” and ignore him forever.
Just slowly let him out of your life. If he’s a classmate, avoid being in a group with him, or avoid hanging out with him at lunch. Don’t say ‘Hi’ or start a conversation with him, unless he says ‘Hi’ first, and if he tries to talk to you, answer monosyllabically. But again, don’t be rude.
I’m not sure how much of this you’re actually gonna bother with, but anyways, I hope some of it helped =D
