I have this friend and she is so gorgeous. So many guys like her and she is always talking about how they stare at her and how so many people call her beautiful. I try to be nice, but i can't help it, i am so jealus of her. Sometimes i'll be really mean to her but i dont mean to be and i feel so bad. She's really nice to me, but but whenever i bring up a topic about myself, she'll change the subject and talk about a guy liking her. Is there any way i can stop being jealus of her and get her to listen to me? thanks in advance.

Maybe you should observe the way her parents treat her. After that come up with a logical speach and practice it. THen give the speach to her and tell her how you really feel. If this does not stop tell her that you can't be friends.

The reason I say this is because she needs a lot of reassurance. Her home life might not be as great as she leads you to believe it to be. Someone in her life is putting her down. This is why she wants to talk all the time about how these boys are admiring her. She wants confirmation and talking about it with you helps her. But, she is being selfish. This is not fair to you her friend. You need to let her know how you feel about this. Do this now while it only mildly bothers you. Don’t do it when you are angry or agitated with her. I know this is difficult for you. We’ve all been jealous of someone so we can all relate to the feelings. There is nothing wrong with having the feelings; it is how you handle your feelings that count. Don’t let these feelings overwhelm and control you. Also think about this. Could your feelings also be, agitation and aggravation instead of jealousy? I know I’d be aggravated by it. Just a thought.

The next time you see her compliment her or say something nice, You'll feel good about youself. You could go shopping for styles like her or JUST BE YOURSELf ....or if you like doing what you're doing then do it! thats great .... good luck,..
emster812 answered Friday October 28 2005, 7:11 pm: Conversation is the key to any relation. Haha anyways.. Talk to her. Tell her how you feel and why you feel that way. If you don' talk to her, this jealousy will get bigger and bigger and we don't want that.
I don't think there is a way to stop being jealous. Getting jealous is a fact of life- we all get jealous. Just remember that you shouldn't let this ruin your friendship.
Hope I helped! IREFO! [ emster812's advice column | Ask emster812 A Question ]

You can either tell her how your feel, and tell her that she's a good person, but you'd rather for her not to brag about the boys that ask her out, or you can keep it bubbling inside until you just can not take it anymore and just blurt out your feelings without thinking about what your saying, and ruin a good friendship. No matter what you will tell her how you feel, but it's better to just be honest, and straight.

sizzlinmandolin answered Friday October 28 2005, 6:34 pm: Your friend is really conceited, that doesn't make her a bad person or anything, but I know that it can be really hard to deal with. What you need to do is talk to her about it. Tell her that you feel really intimidated by her and you'd wish that she would listen to you more instead of just brag about herself. Say it in a nice way and your point should get across. Make her feel like you need her. She's the type of person that needs people to make her feel good about herself and you needing her advice, help, or just to talk to will do this for her. Don't be jealous because being pretty has really gone to her head. Guys when they're younger tend to like girls who are obsessed with themselves. I'm sure you're attractive too and you probably have a little more to offer to a guy than just a pretty face. You're lucky because guys will like you for who you are not just what you look like. She could get into a bad relationship much more easily than you. If you try talking to her about how she's making you feel and she doesn't listen to you then she's not being much of a friend. You don't have to be mean to her or anything, but try finding friends that care about you, not just themselves. I know she has it somewhere in her heart to care, but you may not be able to get it out of her. Good luck! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
