When she brags, tune out and try to change the subject.

When she tells you you're a show off, say, "I'M a show off? Hah." or something to that effect.

In short, just don't put up with it. Don't talk about subjects that are going to start her bragging or calling you a show off.

Talk to her and tell her that she needs to stop trying to be a show off. The world doesn't revolve around her and she needs to let other people get the spotlight once in a while.

Tell her what you do and that you get called a show off for it and tell her what she does and tell her she NEEDS to get called a show off-trix

Well all I will say is: 1- you decide who your friends are and 2- you're friends should be your friends for who they are ... So you shouldn't need to change them. I'll let you take it from there!

When she does brag, take her to the side at that moment and tell her that you know she's a good dancer, but when she says it all the time, it makes her seem not as good. Let her know what you think of her dancing. Telling her what she is doing wrong will stop her from saying something that will get on someones nerves in teh future, so you would be helping her a lot by telling her.

Just tell her that she does it to, make her aware the she does it, she'll probably stop on her own once she realizes that she does it

Pretty much nothing. Some people crave attention and your friend sounds like one of those people. You may tell her that you feel she's being onoxious,but that's no guarantee her behavior will stop. She must feel insecure about something and that's why she shows off. She feels she needs to prove herself.

She has a problem and she obviously doesnt realize it. When she says that ur a show off just tell her no im good.lol..if it is seriously bugging u tell her that its really annoying when u talk about urself all the time. nothing is gunna happen unless u confront her.

hope i helped. -candace
