Friend willing to do anything (and I mean ANYTHING) for atte
Question Posted Monday September 20 2004, 5:59 pm
This friend of mine, "Jane Doe", (name changed to protect the innocent) who will do anything for attention. She constantly changes her personality based on the people she's around. Not only that, but if she wants attention, she'll go make out with anyone who'll let her in order to get that attention. I've tried multiple times to talk to her, but she doesnt wanna hear it. Also, my other friends have noticed "Jane"'s behavior and they've also tried to talk to her. Is there ANY way at all that we can talk to her without her tuning us out? Because we're afraid she's gonna get hurt, and we have alot of weight on our shoulders b/c of "Jane"
Trying to get unwanted weight off my shoulders..

Well the first step to recovery is admiting her problems! In order to do this invite to your house,maybe with a small group of close friends. Jane would feel more insecure probably talking in more public places likes school where there are bound to be some of her "cooler" friends there. After she admits of what she does. You will have to work together with her to fix the problem. Keep her direction steered in the direction of her REAL friends,and not people who are just using her. Through this process be casual,and gentle. She needs to understand that it ISNT all about her,and that this ISNT the way to make friends or keep them!Well I goped I helped ya! Goodluck!
