i think you give good advice to people, so i thought i'd ask you about something. please and thank you. i have a friend who is sooooooooooooooo wrapped up in herself and all that matters is herself and what SHE wants. she doesn't care what you want or what you think about what she does. she tried suicide a few weeks ago, but she promised me she wouldn't anymore. I think she has ADD or something because her mind is all over the place-even when i need to talk or we're in a fight, shes in her own world. she throws fits all the time to get what she wants. shes one of my best friends and she wasn't always this way. i try talking to her, but she gets sidetracked. shes getting really annoying and she threatens to throw away our friendship when i get on to her. what should i do??????
Whatever the situation is, I wouldn't try to talk to her or find out what's wrong. You should start reaching out to new friends or contact old friends and start over with other people. Is there an old friend that's around who you havn't contacted in a while? Don't be afraid to turn to other friends when one friend is not around for some reason.
About your best friend: When she starts getting rude and selfish, just say, "I think I'm going home now because the way you are acting right now is hurting our friendship" If she reacts rudly, just say goodbye and head home or somewhere else. That way, she'll know that you aren't tolerating her new behavior. If she starts threatening the friendship, just say, "That is your choice if you want to throw something that was once really great away." And then leave.
You have no idea what's really triggering her behaviors and suicidal thoughts, so until she comes to you and says sorry and explains herself, move on with your life.
Thank you for taking your time asking me your question. I hope this helped.
