my one friend wants to help me with my imperfections..i mean she hasn't said it but i know she wants to.so should i be offended? or should i think its nice?
Brandi_S answered Sunday July 16 2006, 10:39 pm: Maybe your friend means no offense. I mean she's your friend, right? Maybe she has good intentions behind what she's trying to do.
However, if you feel offended, you should be straight up with her about it. If she's your friend she will understand that you don't like to feel as though she's singling out your "imperfections."
Just remember(and remind her) that nobody's perfect, no matter how much they try to be. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]
Sadie63341 answered Sunday July 16 2006, 10:06 pm: Try hard not to be offended. It's a nice thought, but it was rude of her to say something. Let her help you with YOUR "imperfections", and then YOU offer to help with HERS. Maybe she will take a look in the mirror and realize she's not perfect, and it probably hurt your feelings by her saying that. Honestly you guys should just have fun and give each other a makeover. She was probably just trying to help. Good luck! [ Sadie63341's advice column | Ask Sadie63341 A Question ]
duudee_advicer answered Sunday July 16 2006, 9:39 pm: this is really tough;
i had a friend who tried to " help me out " by telling me to cut my hair, wear different clothes and such. i later found out, she did all that stuff because she was jealous of my looks and she thought if she made me uglier, she could get my boyfriend, gah shes a bitch i hate her.
hah but enough about me.
if she seems like totally sweet about it, and shes not after anything of yours, then i`d be welcome to it. but if you feel like shes taking over, and your not comfortable with the changes, just kindly ask her to stop =]] [ duudee_advicer's advice column | Ask duudee_advicer A Question ]
holahayley56 answered Saturday July 15 2006, 10:48 pm: Depends what kind of friend she is.
Has she always tried to help you with your problems & such? If she has, be grateful she wants to be honest with you, & will help you fix it. Because, some friends, when you ask advice, & they lie to you, not to hurt your feelings, so its good she wants to help.
If she can be mean, or a backstabber or something.. then hmm, i might be offended.
xomichelle891xo answered Saturday July 15 2006, 6:37 pm: I think its fine if you WANT to be helped. She might just be trying to be a good friend sincerely! So, Id take up the offer. Give her the benefit of the doubt and dont get offended by it. If she acts cruel while shes pointing out your imperfections, then shes not a very nice person. If that happens, dont let her manipulate you. [ xomichelle891xo's advice column | Ask xomichelle891xo A Question ]
AdviceMistress answered Saturday July 15 2006, 3:50 pm: its nice but at the same time, she has to do it in a way that makes you comfortable. don't change for her, whatever you feel comfortable then be who you are. but its a nice gesture just be sure she is nice about it. good luck!

orphans answered Saturday July 15 2006, 1:33 am: You should be happy that you have a friend that is willing to help. Me and my friends always help eachother and tell the truth..and sometimes the truth hurts but its a lot better when you hear it from your friends. It doesn't mean their trying to be mean; but being a good friend and helping you. If you don't want her to help you with your imperfections, just let her know.
Let me know how it goes.xox :+) [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
