Question Posted Wednesday January 19 2005, 4:37 pm
i have a friend who used to be very down to earth and friends with everyone. now she is "popular". Just because of that, she thinks she is better than everyone else, and everyone agrees. she is snobby too, like saying stuff like "omg i hate fat people, old people, smelly people, and people that dont like me." the problem is, i love being friends with her!! she is so much fun to hang out with when there are not other people there. with other people, she seems to think she needs to act like that. when i ask her why she is so mean to me, she says "you are mean to me because you think you are so much better!!!" what should i do?!?!

I have insider info on the so called "popular" people, because most people at my school think of ME as one. Well, even I would never treat one of my best friends like that, the only people I ever treat like that are the people that I dont like, or my stalkers(they really DO exist.) Confront her while no one else is around, somewhere very private, and tell her that it hurts your feelings when she says stuff like that to you. If she really is your friend, then she will understand, but if she doesn't care, that means she doesn't care about you, and you should stop putting effort into that relationship. Go hang out with the friends that really DO care about you, then maybe you will feel better. <3 aLySsA

You confront her somewhere where there's not many people around and tell her how your feeling about her actions. It will be hard, I know from experience, but she's got to know what she's doing now or else it will just get harder and harder to change.

lildiamyn_69 answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 5:24 pm: well, all you can really do is warn her that her being "popular" will not last forever. don't leave her because it does sound like she's a good friend, and we all overdo our 15 min of fame sometimes...
but warn her and when she falls, be there to catch her and say"i told you so!"(not to be mean)
hope everything works out! [ lildiamyn_69's advice column | Ask lildiamyn_69 A Question ]

Deff. be friends with her if thats what you want but if shes going to be 2 faced then dont. I have a friend whos 2 faced and i hate it a lot so my advice is ditch her if she continues to act like this.

Shortie8959 answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 5:02 pm: Try talking to her about it. Tell her that she doesn't need to act like that when she's around other people, you already know she's cool. A good friend will listen. If she doesn't change after awhile, try looking for other friends. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

BeautifulMadness answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 4:51 pm: Try talking to her and telling her how she's changed and how much you miss the old her. Try not to accuse her of anything, or she'll just get defensive. Sometimes, once you get bitten by the 'popularity bug', you do change. She probably still has her head in a few clouds and will come down to earth eventually. However, if the new her is making you miserable...don't stick around. Give her a couple of chances and talk it over with her, but if you feel like you've given her too many chances and she's just not changing, then get out. Wait until something brings her back down (something will, life tends to do things like that when you're on a high), and then be around to pick up the pieces. Even in her new 'snobby' state, she'll be craving her old, real friendships. She'll come back eventually :)
Blessed Be,
