Re: 'OIder and Wiser' Friend

[nyxelestia]

Next time she makes an "I'm your elder" joke, just don't go along with the joke - just say, seriously, that while she's joking about it right now, more and more it feels like she's actually believing it and it's starting to tick you off.

List off these examples/situations, and acknowledge that they are all extremely minor issues, and that any one or even a few on their own would not be cause for concern - but all of them together, are. One other thing to bring up is that it's very likely she isn't doing this intentionally - she probably doesn't realize that this behavior (which is most likely picked up from other interactions with other people your age/a decade younger than her and then accidentally transferred to you*) is even happening, let alone that it even would irritate you.

There's a very good chance she's not going to react well to this - no matter how you phrase it, it's going to feel like a rejection of her help and possibly even friendship - so be prepared to need to step away and cool off before returning to the problem. I would make sure she knows you're serious about coming back to it, though.

And, of course, don't let her brush it off - maybe she'll try to sidestep the problem when you first bring it up and context/circumstances may mean it is better off to drop it for the moment. Just make sure to come back to it, and come back to it soon.

* = I don't know for sure, this is just a hypothesis based on likelihood + what you described. You know your situation, and hers, way better than I do, so take all this advice with a grain of salt.
