Hello, my name's Brent, and I'm 20. I'm in a bit of a pickle with my girl friend's best friend. She doesn't like me. At all. And I don't get why! Anyway, if it's real love, it shouldn't matter what anyone thinks about it, right? But... I can't stop thinking about it! I REALLY want her BFF's approval. Why is that? Why do I care? It shouldn't matter, yet I keep sucking up to her, like laughing at her jokes, opening doors for her, etc. Now keep in mind, I DO NOT love the BFF in the slightest. But I like her as a person, and I DESPERATELY want her approval. So, my question, why do I want her approval so badly? Thanks folks! (link)

Wow, you're quite the pleaser, aren't you?
Look guy, it is inevitable you will encounter people you don't see eye to eye with because everyone has a different sensibility. So stop worry about her friend!
Now, if her friend is around when you want private time with your girl that is a problem. I actually broke up with a chick once, in part, because her friends were morons and were around way more than I wanted. Talking to her about it did no good, so I hit the eject button on the relationship.
I recommended a reading of Sartre's No Exit for you.

Thank you for a different outlook. You are right, everyone's different. It's impossible to get along with everyone. Thanks for the helpful, yet entertaining advice, man. xD!
