7. I don't think your friend was being flippant |

Sounds to me like a simple statement of fact, and a most supportive one, at that. She was siding with you, and agreeing with you, and, in the process, reaffirming your intelligence.
Sometimes you just have to give people time to get used to what you've presented. Expecting instant gratification or even acknowledgment just isn't something that routinely happens - at least in my experience. I've always had to wait for a jury to return, or for partners in a controversy to consider settlement offers.
In fact, when a presentation is over, it's over, and the business goes on. Try not to take it personally, because business is business, and you get your personal jollies elsewhere.
But, truly, I think your friend's comment was really great.
