Made a new Friend but i'm Losing another... I Rate
Question Posted Saturday November 19 2005, 7:31 pm
I just made a new friend from volleyball at school, my best friend is jealous because now i also hang out with my new friend. she says i ignore her but never do...sometime it feels like she's the one ignoring me like shes mad at me. We even had a fight just yesterday but i dont think the problem is solved because she still acts different around me.
Belladonna answered Saturday November 19 2005, 10:36 pm: This happens a lot, especially with girls. Whether it's a new friend, or a new boyfriend, friends can get jealous pretty easily if they feel replaced. You may have 'ignoring' her, but not consciously. Anyway, now is the time to work things out. Sit your friend down and explain to her that you're sorry she feels this way but you haven't been ignoring her purposely. Perhaps introducing her to your new friend might make her feel better. You should all go out and do something, or at the very least you should do something with your best friend. If she still not happy, then just leave it. It's her problem and she needs to deal with it. Surely you're entitled tohave friends other than her.

Try to give each other some times alone to make new friends too. Or try hanging out with each other more. Find different activities that you both can do together. Hope this helps!

Your firned is probabyly going through the state of mind saying: Firstvolleyball then the movies then shes gonnaforget all about me. You need to tell her that she's your best friend for a reason and that you and her will always come first. [ Lyfe8allbad's advice column | Ask Lyfe8allbad A Question ]

Let her know how you feel and when yall talk try to not argue just talk things out and if she has something to say then to do it cause if she holding anything back then nothing will be resolved.

It's easy to get that way, believe me.
She must feel that the only way to get your attention back, is to ignore you. Silence hurts worse than words.
Just try and talk to her. I know it's hard to, because if you are anything like me, you don't like to hurt anyone's feelings. Or cause any trouble for that matter.
