I think it's important for people to know they can rely on each other for help and support. I want to be that person for you.
advice
I am part of a group of 5 with my best friend who i have known longer than everyone else. My best friend has been really attached to me and i feel like she doesn't want me to be friends with anyone but her. when i told her how i felt she started screaming at me and denyed it. Also, i never get any alone time with my boyfriend because she is always there and when i told her if i could talk to him alone she was like sure i'll walk behind you... but i wanted her to like be 100 feet away from us because he acts so much more romantic when she isn't around. How can i tell her how i feel without her screaming at me again? I want to have other friends besides her because every one i am friends with, she is friends with too... what do i do?
i rate high... sry this is kinda long
Dear Static Cling,
So you want to get peace from your clingy best bud? Obviously telling her to leave you alone for a bit isnt working.. so why not just leave? Take a break from this overbearing relationship for awhile. Dont tell her where your going or what your doing. Dont answer the phone for awhile. If she wont give you your space then take it! Dont let anyone deny you your personal space. Your rents already keep tabs on your life. You dont need your best doing it too!
Your bud needs to learn to have a life of her own. She needs hobbies and friends other than you. She could also put that clingy-ness to use and get herself a boyfriend.
So take a break. Go on holiday from your bud. Tell her if she doesnt lay off then you're going to perminatly put her off.
Best of Luck,
She Screams.
P.S. Be sure and rate!
