Friend problems BAD!


Question Posted Friday December 16 2005, 4:15 pm

There's this girl who I have been best friends with since kindergarden and now im in 7th grade. She is really gross and picks at her nails when she's bored. She eats lunch with me this year and it's so annoying because she's really CLINGY!!! She takes Ritalin which doesn't make you hungry, so the whole time during lunch she sits there and picks at her disgusting 2 inch long nails! She like makes me sit next to her, and when I get up to go to the bathroom or buy something she comes with me. She's nice and all but CLINGY!! I'm going on a cruise with her family in April for her Bat Mitzvah so...i can't stop being friends with her...its booked already!!! i don't know what to do! I'm like her only friend, and i am not being a good friend to her at ALL!!! I thought that ignoring her would make her realize that she is being clingy, but NO! I can't talk to her about it because she just ws in a huge fight with her good friend (now their not friends anymore) and will automatically think "SO NOW EVERYONE HATES ME!!" What should I do?? I'm stuck in a terrible situation.

Aww sorry your in this situation. Try and be sensitive. Just say "you shouldn't bite your nails it's not good for your teeth". Or if she's not biting them, just be like, "I used to pick at my nails all the time, but I stopped because it's really not healthy." Even if you never picked your nails like her, just say that to make her feel better. I think you're right, that you shouldn't get in a fight with her.

If you have to go to the bathroom, just be like "Hang on, I'll be right back, save our seats" and maybe she'll get the hint you want her to stay. Make an attempt to hang out with other friends so that she knows you have other friends. There's no way to tell her to stop being clingy without hurting her feelings. Hopefully you can avoid saying mean things to her but find ways to hint at what you're trying to tell her.

Good Luck, and if there's specific things you want to say to her in a nice way, let me know and I'll try and help you out.

i know so many clingy peope that are like obsessed with me!! i dont really ignore them, but when they talk to me, i do sound less enthusiastic. this way, they'll eventually begin to not hang around with you as much. in a while, you can tell someone to "accidentally" tell her that you dont like her, but only after a while, so she wont think everyone hates her. you dont want her to develope an eating disorder or anything, so either be nice for a while, or be boring (which has always worked great for me)
