BAD FRIEND


Question Posted Tuesday June 28 2005, 8:41 pm

I have been friends with this girl, I'll call Katie for like 15 years. But for the last 4 years she has become an overbearing and often embarrassing persence. Katie often guilts people into doing things they don't want too. Shes an only child and has always gotten her way or has lied to get it. Katie is extrememly outgoing, Oh and did I mention she was outgoing. She is very large breasted and gets a lot of attention from guys. Which doesn't bother me because she and I have different taste in men. Lately though I've noticed she often lies to me, which she never used to. She also tells things about me to others that are outright lies. I am shocked and have asked her about what she says but she somehow comes up with some weird explanation. I have stopped telling her anything I don't want everyone to know. She also often chastises, me for doing the same things she does. Katie also gets jealous when I hang out with other friends and often makes her distaste for my other friends very obvious. I almost want to cut her off completely. Should I or should I try to find out what has gotten into her?

You might want to try to talk to her about what had happened. If that doesnt work then i'm sorry to tell you this but you'll have to tell her you dont what to be her friend anymore, after that when hang out with your other friends or even try making new friends. I know making new friends isnt easy but in the end its worth it
I hoped i helped

Just flat-out stop hanging out with her. She's a terrible friend and you shouldn't have to put up with her. I've had bad friends like that, and I used to be very forgiving, but they'd just hurt me again. She's saying stuff behind your back and lying to you, two of the worst things a person could do to someone. It sounds harsh, but you have to cut her off, or else she'll just keep hurting you.

Well, in my opinion i think that perhaps you have grown apart. I know from personal experience that many times people just... lose touch with eachother and drift apart. Its not a bad thing. It gives us an oppurtunity to make new friends.

Sometimes you just have to step back and let her be the way she is. But if you say she is as sweet and you to are really good friends then maybe there is something in her life that she is not telling you. Most people just start acting out because they are being hurt. You can go up and just ask her whats the deal, whats wrong i mean you have never acted like this before? but as long as you show her that you are not gonna give up on her i am pretty sure she will come through.dont try to force things though just let nature take control and have faith. shell come through.
good luck!
