If you are a rather cheerful girl/boy who never likes to hold grudges no matter what, then you might consider talking and laughing with them again like nothing ever happened. If you are the kind who likes to hold grudges, or likes to hold them only for a good reason, you might want to think it over by yourself for a while before you decide what to do. They might have insulted you for a reason, right? It may be because they don't want to hang out with you anymore, don't want you in their life, or it may be because they were in a really bad mood at that time. If it is the second suggestion that you know for sure that is the answer, then you might want to try talking to them gently about it. Over some time, it will ease off between you two, and maybe some of her/his other friends, too. If it is the first opinion, then you might want to leave him/her alone for awhile and see how it ends up.

Smile, though your heart is aching, smile even though it's breaking....

Alternate approach: If the person really is a friend, then she/he should be able to accept feedback from you. If the rudeness happens in the presence of others, you might choose (the first time, anyway) to wait until you can talk to your friend in private. Sometimes people don't really realize that they are doing something that is seen as rude by others. If the rudeness is directed toward you, you can and should gently point out that the actions or words are hurtful, painful, insulting-- whatever is appropriate. Refer to the actions or words, not to your friend. You wouldn't say "You're insulting" or "You're rude". It would be something like "That comment is hurtful to me" or "I don't like being touched/hit that way". That way you can talk about the thing that bothers you without directly passing judgement on your friend. It might help to not escalate feelings. The first contribution is okay, but it isn't helpful to your friend to just take rudeness without helping your friend to see what is happening.

yes because itz not her problem if her friend was rude to you. you need to handle this in a mature responsible way. confront her friend and explain to her that you did not like what she/he was doing. if this problem reoccurs, explain to your girlfriend that you tried talking to this person and you feel as if they dont understand. if your girlfriend doesn't talk to her explaining everything then your problem might not be ur gfz bff it might be ur gf..................................................................
