I have never had any of my friends say anything negative about my things. Then again, I don´t have that many real friends anyway
If a "friend" of mine said something negative I wouldn´t automatically assume that it was because they were broke/ugly/stupid/ill/unemployed etc. like someone else posted. I would first take a glance at myself and make sure that I wasn´t the one coming off as self-centered, arrogant or narrow minded. Just sayinAnd I am probably guilty of coming off exactly that way at times

Well-said, Lovely! In the case of the OP, it sounds pretty clear that the problem was with the "friend," not with her or her Birkin. . . but I think it definitely behooves us to at least consider how we present ourselves (whether with or without an H accessory!). Automatically assuming that any negative comment directed at us must be undeserved and a function of the other person's "issues" is inherently arrogant. How refreshing to hear someone say she is willing to examine her own behavior too! Great post!
^^^Well said ladies, as the the aphorism goes,"look in the mirror first before judging".
However, most of the ladies here, if not all, exude confidence, in the manner we talk, walk, in just about anything we do. It can be our natural selves and can't be construed as arrogance. But the problem is others might feel and see it as arrogance.
As long as I am not impinging on others, they can say whatever they want. .
