It's fun when you laugh with friends at someone else's foibles, inadequacies or idiosyncracies. It's amusing when you gossip with friends at someone else's downfalls, shortfalls and misfortunes.

It's not so funny and amusing when you suddenly become the subject of your friends' laughs and gossips because of your own foibles, inadequacies, idiosyncracies, downfall, shortfall and misfortune.

Suddenly you feel alone and withdrawn.

It's a lesson learnt. The hard way.
