About mslegthinks
I've seen a lot in my day, and am the girl that all my friends come to for good, objective advice. I'll tell it to you straight, but try not to hurt your feelings. I'm married to the love of my life, but it took us a while to get where we are. I have a successful career, but am still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. I have rheumatoid arthritis, but have learned to not let it rule my life. I am a people watcher, and I believe in learning something from everyone I meet. I promise, I won't steer you wrong if I can help it. :)

me and my cousin have bee best friends since we were babies and we didnt really hang out much in our old town but we moved to north carolina and we hang out almost everyday now she gets realy mad at me for the stupidest things like going out with a guy she likes when she has a bf or me telling her to stop lieing and she always lies to her bf i mean she loves her bf but she told him she made out with a random guy, why would anyone tell their bfs that? i just need help should i keep being friends with her or what i reall need help
Your cousin sounds 1) immature and 2) jealous of you and 3) in need of extra attention. Your best bet is to start cutting back on your time with her, because she is not going to change just because you tell her she's annoying. You'd do her a favor to say, "Um, Suzy, do you realize that when you do that it really bothers people?" My guess is she'll just get mad at you, but at least you will have tried.
Keep in mind that the more you hang around negative people, the more it rubs off on you and you begin to act the same way. If you do decide to keep hanging around her, be very aware of your own behavior. You've seen the things she does that you don't like, keep yourself in check and make sure you don't pick up her bad habits. If you can, try to find people to hang out with who have qualities that you admire, the type of people who you want to be like. What you've said about your cousin makes me think she is NOT the type of person you want to be.
