ThatSAM answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 5:11 pm: when you get new friends dont tell her about them. that may seem really rude, but your friend "jenna" dosnt have to kno about your every step and move. ya kno? lol! some of my friends are like that. when they like to take over my new friendships, i learn to dwell with it becuz when the new friends get tired of my original friends then they come back to me. isnt it great to think of it that way even tho its the truth, most of the time. its really nice that you care for the new friends that you make. so, if they come back kissing your feet, then we can all have a giggle.
Karen answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 5:04 pm: You should really talk to her and tell her how you feel when she does this. A friend would let you have other friends and they wouldn't try stopping you from making new friends. If you tell her about the people you meet, then stop for now so she won't take them away from you. Talking to her is the only thing that will help. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
XxJeSSeGeRbiLxX answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 4:34 pm: i think you should just talk to her about it. but if you dont want to, then just dont tell her about your friends. hang out with them wen she's not there, so if hey dont meet her, they wont know shes there, and they wont like her better. =) [ XxJeSSeGeRbiLxX's advice column | Ask XxJeSSeGeRbiLxX A Question ]
Sw33t_Dr33ms_xOx answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 4:27 pm: Just let everyone be friends with everyone! Its not like shes going to forget about you and go to them! And if they like her better then let that just be it! Its sorta not good if you just have a friend to yourself..its ugh..idK! Just tell her how you feel but be nice about it I BET SHE WILL UNDERSTAND!
Teza answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 4:17 pm: You could eather tell her thats its bothering you or you could just share your friends. You really cant have a friend all to your self. Its better if both of you are friends with her/him. Go out and do stuff with all of your friends and you wont worry about getting mad or anything! X0` [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
OrionsFire answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 3:53 pm: Maybe she's lonely so she's overcompensating by trying to make as many friends. Why is it so bad for you both to share friends? It's hard to have a friend to yourself unless they hate her or don't know her, which would put more pressure on you because they would make you feel like you shouldn't be friends with her either. You should be happy that YOUR friends want to be friends with her too. [ OrionsFire's advice column | Ask OrionsFire A Question ]
Laura_Ashanti answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 3:53 pm: Definitely tell her - just say I need some space right now. And then you should talk to her about having lots of friends. Make sure she knows you are not trying to yell at her and you want to be her friend still, but you dont belong to her. You have to make new friends and branch out and you cant just give her 100% attention. Promise to give her SOME attention, though - have you been accidnetly/purposely avoiding her lately? If so shes noticed and she may just be defending you as her friend - trying to say to other girls "This is my friend so back off!" Maybe she feels like when you hang out with other girls, you dont seem to like her. Try to make all your friends equal as possible with you, so Jenna doesnt get so jealous. ♥ Laura [ Laura_Ashanti's advice column | Ask Laura_Ashanti A Question ]
