confusedbabii answered Sunday July 30 2006, 3:33 pm: tell her that when she talks about your friends,that they're your REAL friends and that you DON'T want to hear her bashing them constantly. and that a real friend wouldnt put you in that kind of situation. and on top of that, that she always brings you down and puts you in a sticky situation and that you don't want to be friends with someone like that.
FloridianGator1616 answered Sunday July 30 2006, 12:06 pm: Just tell her the situation andsay ya know your not being a very good friend right now so i think we should go our seprate ways. Really exspress your feelings and let her know whats going on and that you dont like it she sounds like a brat to me anyway
Volleyball2150 answered Sunday July 30 2006, 11:45 am: First, think about what you are doing. Put yourself in your friends shoes and think about what her reaction will be. I suggest ((if she gets mad easily)) writing her a note, leaving a message on her cell/phone, or talking to her.
Tell her how you feel exactly and tell her that she isnt really paying attention to you, only to your other friends. I hope I helped! :D [ Volleyball2150's advice column | Ask Volleyball2150 A Question ]
fargo answered Sunday July 30 2006, 2:15 am: first off you need to tell this friend thatshe needs to stop talking about your other friends and if it dosen't work then you need to get a new friend.I know telling this to her face is kind of hard but if you can text or im or e mail her it will be a lot easier!!

MARISSAX33 answered Saturday July 29 2006, 4:19 pm: If you don't feel comfortable around someone (ESPECIALLY A FRIEND) then you should just not hang out with her anymore. If you said something she might say something nasty to you so just don't say anything hun :)
caramella answered Saturday July 29 2006, 1:30 pm: you can tell her that if she doesnt stop talking about them you dont ever want to talk to her again or be her freind(thats if you want to give her a chance) OR you can say, "look im telling you now that our freindship is over because all you ever do is talk about my other freinds" make it short and to the point.

lovexss answered Saturday July 29 2006, 1:06 pm: when she drags you down tell her. stand up for your friends she talks about and if she still doesnt get it then just slowly drift away. stop hanging out with her if you don't want to be her friend, and start hanging out with other people. dont be rude about it though. if she asks why you haven't hung out in a while just tell her you dont like her talking about your other friends. hope i helped?

S_C answered Saturday July 29 2006, 11:53 am: Just tell her straight up that you can't be friends with someone who puts down your other friends - I have a friend who kind of gets like this, she criticizes everything - I usually don't say much but every once in a while I just tell her to shut up about it. I know that's not the best way to handle it, but it does work sometime.
Anyway, you just have to tell her that you need to talk to her and then straight up say "<insert name here> I'm sick of the way you're always badmouthing my friends, I'm not going to continue listening to you talking about them so if you want to keep doing it then I just can't be friends with you."
I think that might help her realize that she's being a complete jerk. It's polite too, it's nothing rude, you're not name calling, you're just telling her to either knock it off or that you can't be friends.
If you truly don't want to be her friend then you can do that one of two ways, dodge her phone calls or make excuses why you can't hang out. Or just tell her straight up that even if she were to change that you just think that the friendship has lasted too long for it's own good.
DefinedEyes answered Saturday July 29 2006, 11:38 am: Finally let it all out,
be like.. Okay it was great being your friend and all but I really cannot stand the way you talk about my friends around me, it hurts my feelings and its not right.
And I cant be your friend anymore because I cant tolerate this. [ DefinedEyes's advice column | Ask DefinedEyes A Question ]
god-smusgrove answered Saturday July 29 2006, 11:37 am: say "look lady i dont want to be friends wit you no more"
no but for real do one of the following
A. straight up tell her that you dont like her talking about your other friends and that you dont like being brought down whenever ur with her.
B. start hanging out with her less and less and your other friends more and more. Then, IF she asks you wuts going on and why your not hanging out with her as much any more, thennn you tell her cuz thats the best time she'll listin [ god-smusgrove's advice column | Ask god-smusgrove A Question ]
