Okay. Well, I met this person over the summer and we became really good friends. But then my friend met this OTHER person at a camp she went to, and now all she talks about is him! She keeps bringing him up and talks about how cool he is, and how she wished they lived closer together. It really hurt me, but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make her feel bad. But then last night, she said that he was cooler than me, and I snapped at her to quit talking about him. I think she mad at me now, she won't talk to me. I still want to be friends with her, but... What should I do?

JadedinNowhere answered Sunday April 3 2005, 3:05 pm: You were right to think it was sort of uncomfortable if she talked about her other friend all the time. Maybe she thinks you have had other friends and aren't her friend anymore.. so she feels the need to talk about her new friend to make up for it, and seem like she has friend of her own. You've already confronted her about it, so now you've got another hill to get over. I think you should tell her what you told me. "you still want to be friends with her." If you show you care, and that it really hurt your feelings for her to be constantly talking about someone else, then maybe she'll understand, and stop, and be more understanding of how you feel about your relationship.
