      Backhanded compliments & sly digs intended to undermine confidence but concealed in a way that it would seem oversensitive to object to.

          It so often is. So, notice how often said 'friend' does this. Once *can* just be tactlessness. > 10 times? Deliberate spite.

          I have seen guys be that way. I associate that kind of thing with guys that date multiple women at once.
