advice
i have this friend. She is so competitive. and she claims to be my best friend. So when i get something new, she has to get it, but in a better brand or more expensive to make me feel bad. example would be like; i just got a phone. a week later, she finally got a phone, but more expensive. then when i got a computer, she got one after, but in a better brand. I don't know why she does it but it is getting on my last nerve. Then when I come up with ideas, she steals them and make them into her own. for example. Our whole group of friends hasn't hung out in a while, and i was saying how it would be tight to have everyone get together at a sleep over and just chil. She went off and told all of them as if it were her idea. And it is so frustrating. She also tried to steal my boyfriend. I ended up having to brake up with him because of whole lotta drama. I have slowly separated myself from her. She asked me if we were still best friends, and I said no. And she was begging for best friend status. But I said no. And I have stopped telling her everything, and calling her. I just listen, because I will always be there for her, i have never betrayed her. I helped her lose weight, and told her when people were talking ish about her. But with all that, she repaid me with all that. I want to separate myself from her to the fullest. Do you guys have eny ideas? what do you think about the whole situation?
I think that your X bestfriend has some serious issues...........
From everything you wrote it is very true that she is very envious of you. If you have a best friend you want the best for her in every way and from what you wrote it seems that she wants to be on top of the staircase in everything.
First of all did you confront her on the main issue, the competiveness?? If you did and she straight out ignore the issue then you need to let go...
Just be upfront with her and let her know that you feel you two have grown up and now things have changed in how you feel about your relationship. Try to cut all ways with her and move on...............
Breaking up with a friend is hard but sometimes we have to do it for ourselfs.......
(Rating: 5) thank you, that is one thing i haven't done,"confront her about it", like you said. Thank you so much.
