Do I have the right to be offended..this girl considers me her BEST FRIEND [we are good friends but not BEST BEST friends]. When we leave a class, she never waits for me, unless her little other friend is absent. When that girl isn't around, she waits for me and she talks to me. I mean, I have other friends I walk with, I just find this, weird.. and awkward you know. And at lunch, whatever I say, it's usually the opposite. I don't really care, but am I wrong to be a bit.. you know.. offended?

DrSaLi087 answered Thursday March 31 2005, 4:36 pm: i understand. just wait her to wait, say its important to you, as it is, and tell her. that since you wait for her, she should wait for you. Just talk to her, tell her you're feeling just a little left out. see what she's feeling. [ DrSaLi087's advice column | Ask DrSaLi087 A Question ]
mrs_radcliffe answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 7:59 am: I think you should be upset, Because its like shes using you! which is not right. Hang out with some other friends! when her friend is away go off and leave her alone then she will see how much it hurts you. And if your going to a new school then thats alright.
hitler_the_goat answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 1:38 am: calm down and read what you just said:
and then ask yourself what you would say if your name was hitler the goat.
I'll be the drunk redneck philosopher here and be very blunt;
this is a problem? what kind of sheltered life have you been leading? or do you just sweat the small stuff? if so, never sign up for the armed forces, as you would be a hinderance in combat.
no offense, but this is no big deal, please stop worrying over issues this small and start watching c-span, it will help you realize that there are bigger problems like child abuse, drug dependency, and impending doom.

Yes you have the right to be offended and by the looks of this girl, she doesn't seem "real" to me. From the information you provided, it looks like this girl has you there for "backup" if you get my drift. If you'd like extra advice on how to deal, drop a note in my inbox.

ALoathedCrime answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 12:38 am: Yes. This happened to me a lot before. My best friend would always try to hang around the more "popular" kids in middle school.. [the rich kids that parents own like... your parents.] But I told her about it. Of course, she denied it. I finally just gave up and stopped waiting for her at all anymore. I mean we still talked and stuff. I think it was just a middle school thing. Well, now that we are in highschool I hang around a different crowd...and she expects me to wait for her. Haha...you get the picture. [ ALoathedCrime's advice column | Ask ALoathedCrime A Question ]
karenR answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 12:36 am: I'd be a little offended myself.You're only good enough when the other friend is not around.I'd be offended but I doubt she means to offend.She just doesn't have anyone to hang out with when her friend is gone.I guess she has no other friends. So, lets just feel sorry for her instead.:} [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Miss_Lily answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 12:03 am: No, you are not wrong at all for being offended. This girl is only using you as a means of convience. When her "other" friend is not around, that is when she wants to be your best friend. A <b>true</b> best friend waits for you regardless of her other friends. She talks to you when other people are around, and she doesn't use you when it is convient for her. You need to ask her why she acts that way. Let her know that if she can't be a true friend to you all of the time, then you don't need a part time friend. [ Miss_Lily's advice column | Ask Miss_Lily A Question ]
