Question Posted Wednesday December 7 2005, 9:40 pm
Alright, so I have this friend. Let's call her Diana. Whenever I tell Diana something that I am excited about she just brings me down. She'll tell me "Oh my god, no one cares" or "Does it really seem like I care?", stuff like that. Sometimes she will even hurt me physically also. She always flirts with all of the guys I used to like or even my boyfriend. Diana is very beautiful and she knows it. All of the guys adore here and such. Sometimes she can hurt my feelings so bad that I just want to cry. I really am not trying to be mean about this but how can I help get our friendship back on track? Sometimes when I tell her things I feel like she's jelous. Am I the one doing something wrong? Please help me, this is making me go through a lot of pain! Signed, Best Friend is hurting Me

Friends are caring and supportive - and would never ever put you down on a consistent basis. Even having a talk with her won't change her or the situation, or may even make it worse. I had a 'friend' like that and let her embarrass and hurt me for years! She even called and demanded to know what my problem was, because she wasn't asked to sit with me at my husbands funeral! That was the capper and I closed that chapter in my book. [ girlygirl's advice column | Ask girlygirl A Question ]
MELiixMARiiE answered Thursday December 8 2005, 2:11 pm: It seems to me like this girl is a little full of herself. It seems like she doesn't care if anything great happened to her friends -- because it's not about her, it's about someone else. Plus, with all the guys adoring her and everything, that also boosts her self-confidence even more and probably wants to get even more attention. I would just talk to her about this and tell her how you're feeling and if she doesn't care.. I'd go find a new friend because obviously she's not being a great friend.. not even a good one. And she also might be jealous. If something great isn't happening to her, she doesn't want anything to do with it. Something great might always need to happen to HER, not YOU. Cause that'd then bring attention to you, not her for once. She might be jealous that you have a boyfriend and she doesn't, so she flirts with him. Like I said, just have a serious talk with her, and if she doesn't care.. move on. You can find better friends who do and always will care about you. You're not doing anything wrong. You're just being a good nice friend, that's all you're doing. I hope I helped.

This girl is using you as a crutch to make herself feel better when in fact she is shallow and insecure. Your time is better spent finding people who are interested in who you are and care about you.
