i've been best friends with my best friend for a long time now. but everyone says that i'm a follower. i don't really follow her we just sorta hang out. but it really does seem like we go whereever she wants to go.and never what i wanna do. should i tell her about what i think? i don't want her to get mad at me cause after this year i'm moving and switching schools. i just don't know how to deal with this problem. please help.

Solemnstar answered Tuesday February 1 2005, 12:20 am: it seems to me like you 2 have next to nothing in common but if you want to remain friends you should tell her that you feel that she is more in control of the friendship and that you would like to go somewhere of your choosing for once if you dont want to remain friends you have 2 options. 1 is to just ignore her and to be a complete jerk(do not pick this one EVER)2 is to just say that your friendship is not working out and it should just end your choice not mine really but i think friendship is more important than what people think.

I would just leave it alone and try to prove that you are your own person and arent a follower. I mean im sure you arent. But there may be times where you are. But that goes for everyone. So i wouldnt worry about it to much really-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
