lately my best friend and i haven't been having the most fun. she's much more outgoing than me, and i often get left out in the dust. also, even though several people don't like her because of her loud, bossy style, she's convinced she's better than me. i really want to make the friendship work, because from grades 3-6 we've been the best of friends, but i've been working hard to keep it together for almost 2 years now, and she hardly ever talks to me anymore. i don't know what to do anymore. should i try to work more at the friendship, because sometimes we do have a lot of fun, or should i give up, or should i just spend less time with her but still keep her as a friend? i'm sorry this question is so long, but please answer anyways. thanks=D

I'm sorry! That's not right at all. I was in the same situation as you with my old best friend. She stopped talking to me, and she never wanted to hang out with me anymore when we used to hang out every single day! I got sick of it, so we don't even talk anymore. If I were you, I would just forget about this girl, because she doesn't seem like a real friend at all. A real friend would keep in touch with you after being friends for all those years, and hang out with you a lot.That's a long time! If she thinks shes better than everyone else, than why would you wanna hang out with her anyway? That's horrible. Noone is better than anyone else. You really need to get rid of this girl. My best friend and I were friends for 4 years, but we're not anymore. I know you can find better friends than her. You deserve better hun! I really hope I helped you out. If I didn't I'm so sorry. Luv ya! Please let me know how everything goes okay? Luv ya! <3 KiMmY [ PrEtTyKiTtY0428's advice column | Ask PrEtTyKiTtY0428 A Question ]

xomegaroni answered Saturday November 5 2005, 5:23 pm: obviously you've tried to be her friend for awhile yet, & you shouldn't have to try to be a good friend with someone juss because you guys were friends before. i think what you should do is still be her friend, but back off a bit & let her decide what she wants to do. if she's your true friend then she'll hang out with you & then you guys can talk about it.
