Okay, i have this friend and she can really get annoying. what really gets on my nerves is when she brags about how cool she is. shes always like "yeah, i think i like this guy because we hung out yesterday and he told me how pretty i was and blah blah blah". she always does this to get attention. its like she adds little facts about what she and her other friends did the day before when it doesn't relate to what we're talking about at all. i know she just does it for attention but she always acts like she's better than me. and it feels like she wants me to take notes on how popular she is. i hate when people do that so much. its like, do i really care that you have a boyfriend 5 years older than you?
also, she's very trashy. she'll go out with a person for a few days and then decide that she has a new fad for this other guy that she hasnt even met before. you cant just do that. we've had a lot of good memories in the past but sometimes i just want to tell her to shut up. can anybody relate to this?
please help. how can i tell her to just quit it?

Devina answered Monday May 15 2006, 5:52 pm: I think you should ask her if she ever has problems with her family or others. Some people who are like that usually do have problems with their families. So that they want to get attentions for themselves to cheer themselves up. My best friend is like that too, but I understand her situation... if I were her, I would have done something to cheer myself up too. To fight in despair... But if it's different with your friend, I don't know what I can say... she maybe is jealous of you so that she tries to make herself look better. Sometimes try to understand what people feel and what they will do, it will help you alot, though I know that it hurts and annoys you. Try to talk to her, ask her why she's changed. If she's your real friend, she will trust you and tell you what she's really into.
I wish you the best luck. Good luck. [ Devina's advice column | Ask Devina A Question ]

luv2talk2muchxo answered Sunday May 14 2006, 5:50 pm: ok well this gir;s sounds exactly like my friend. She thinks she is the hottest shit. Many people do like her but they dont realize their faults. Try talking to her and if she doesnt listen, the next time she brags, bring her down. Ex "O well this guy thinks i'm sooo plretty blah blah"
"well hes a very unique guy so quit your braggin."
any way, a true friends doesnt act like that [ luv2talk2muchxo's advice column | Ask luv2talk2muchxo A Question ]

Next time she starts bragging about her life, you can just be like "okay that's nice but i don't really care..." and just start talking to her about how bad it makes you feel. chances are, she knows she's making you feel bad and a little bit jealous, and that's her intention. but if you confront her, she will probably realize that her intention isn't a good one. it might sound risky confronting her because you may think you'll lose her as a friend, but think of it this way; would you rather keep things the way they're going? [miserable for you and annoying] orrrrr, confront her which would mean to take the chance of losing her as a friend [which probably won't happen] she'll probably realize her faults and quit it =] hope i helped!
