Question Posted Wednesday February 25 2004, 2:41 pm
i have this friend. shes a really good friend of mine. we got on really well. but about a year ago she started to show her true colours. everything i said i liked she said she hated, but then about 2 wks later she would say she liked it having forgotten she said she hated it. ive found she started to copy me aswell. she started to take my friends away. she can be really nice....but she has mood swings. she likes to critisise a lot. she can become very bitchy when she doesnt get her own way. she likes to take control and tells me she hates it when others take control. she seems to contradict everything.
i think that our friendship is deteriorating. i dont want it to. what do i do? i dont want to hurt her feelings? shall i say anything? i feel trapped.
