well i have this friend and she is all nice and stuff around me...but when another person is around us shes different...for example today we went to abercrombie and i grabbed this shirt and she said she didnt like it...but then when my other friend came and said she liked it, she changed her mind...what should i do about it?
icey0990 answered Monday March 7 2005, 11:01 pm: Some people are fake..and others are real.Your friend was being fake..and she needs to learn how to voice her true opinion. being that this is her problem..not yours..there isnt much to do. You could tell her "you know its funny how you didnt like that shirt..and all of a sudden when "insert girls name" came along..you liked it..so tell me ..did you really like it,or not? Dont be afraid to voice your opinion...its Ok to stand alone and to have different opinoons" Once you say something along those lines..its up to her to change. Good luck

Brunettesweetheart2468 answered Monday March 7 2005, 10:05 pm: Ooohh, hun, I know EXACTLY how you feel. My BFF is totally different around some other people. I'd just accept it or talk to her. Ask her why she is so different around this person. Maybe she wants this other person to like her. maybe the personality around you is something she thinks or knows this other person doesn't like. Is the person popular?? Maybe that's why she is different. If I were you, when I hang out with your friend I wouldn't invite the person she's different around too. You can hang out with both, just not the same time, and who knows, maybe she'll grow out of it. Hang in there hun!
gubblebum answered Monday March 7 2005, 8:56 pm: Clearly your friend is trying to please her other friend. If that made any sense... (: I know I have caught myself acting this way in the past, and I discovered that it's actually really easy to act this way. It may not even be her problem. Don't be too suspicious about her, especially if she's never acted this way before. Remember, when people are being "followers," it's the leader that they're going after. It could be the other friend causing her to act that way... You never know. It's rude to act like that, and if she's a good friend, she'll understand how you feel if you confront her with pure sincerity. Hope this helped!

XXcrazy4evaXX answered Monday March 7 2005, 8:47 pm: Your friend is obvisly a follower and does things that someone she thinks is cool does. She can't find her self to be her self. You should tell her to stop being a follower and be your self and do what you want. Tell her this the next time she be's a follower. Hope I helped!! I am always here!!

qotsa369 answered Monday March 7 2005, 8:20 pm: Do about what? Your friend changed her mind and that means shes mean around you. Stop being so emo! You know what maybe she doesn't like you and is trying to tell you to kill yourself. [ qotsa369's advice column | Ask qotsa369 A Question ]
passionate answered Monday March 7 2005, 8:14 pm: Talk to her. I'm sure she has a reason for doin that, hopefully a good reason. If she has a good reason you'll probably understand why she does that.

Meags227 answered Monday March 7 2005, 8:07 pm: Many people are like that. I'm sure you even act different around different people, though you probably don't notice, and I'm sure your friend doesn't notice her behavior either. Try not ot feel jealous or hurt by her actions, because she probably doesn't mean to hurt you. Talk to her about it (in a nice way) or point it out the next time she does it. She will hopefully realize her problem and change it. If she doesn't, ask why she continues to be that way. It's possible she is jealous of you and has to show you up in front of other people, or she is insecure and has to act "cool" around other people, but she is comfortable being herself around you. Talking usually makes everything better, and if it doesn't, then shut up! Hope I helped!

analovezya answered Monday March 7 2005, 7:59 pm: Confront her. Tell her you've noticed her acting differently around different people, and that you don't like it. If she isn't concerned, ditch her. You don't need a friend who doesn't respect you.
Lancerbabe06 answered Monday March 7 2005, 7:48 pm: Well, she's trying to hard from my point of view. But w/e, confront her about it, communication is the ultimate key to friendships and dealing with things. Just make sure she's clear about it and understands.
