If you're worried about her getting mad at you then just try to talk to her without making it sound like you're mad at her for it so that it doesn't seem so much like your attacking her for her behavior. Very calmly explain to her that you think she's been acting really wierd and that it is bothering you. Talk it out with her and show her that you're not trying to be mean about it you just want it to stop.
karenR answered Wednesday April 27 2005, 6:59 pm: You don't want her to embarrass herself or you with her weird behavior. That being said you need to have her over and tell her about it. No need for her to get mad because she really does need to take it personally. Just tell her there is a time and place to act a little whacky but you think she may be going overboard a little. Explain that you are only saying this to save her embarassment because you are her friend. Then tell her like it is. Good luck. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

orphans answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 5:21 pm: hunnie, the best thing to do is tell her because it will help her in the long run. eventhough she might get mad or upset she will eventually thank you cuz she might not know that she was getting out of comtrol, and other people might have been to afraid to tell her. you are being a great friend if you tell them the truth.
