advice

My friend always gets rrealy mean when she's talking to her boyfriend. Whether it's online, or on the phone, she's just always really mean to me. I've tried thinking of why she might be doing it, but the only reason I could come up with is that she's trying to make herself look better. I'd like to think my friend was different but people can surprise you. My question here is what do I do?

I think you're right- she's probably rude to you to make herself look better. I'm betting she has self-confidence issues and wants to look cool in front of her boyfriend, so she uses you to do so. That's not cool.
She might be doing this unintentionally, but I would ask her about it. It hurts to be used to make someone else look better. I would confront her in a non-challenging, casual way and just ask her if she's ever noticed herself doing this. Don't get mad at her or she'll get defensive. Just tell her how you're feeling and ask her to make a conscious effort to stop doing it.
good luck. =]
