(SORRY IT MAYBE LONG, BUT PLEASE HELP)
so ive been friends with this girl since the beginning of this year. when we started being friends we always made these jokes that we call eachother ugly but it was a joke and it still is and yea. but like now she we are like really close friends and im friends with her friends and shes friends with my friends.
they get along fine but say we are hanging out with a group of 4-5 friends i always see this, she is always being so critical of what i say and do but not to the others. she always shuts me down and doesnt let me be happy. but for some reason i know for a fact she isnt doing this on purpose. i also told her 2 times that she is doing this to me and she never said anything to me.
idk what i should do. i know i should talk to her but i dont know what to say. please help me!!!

Since she is your best friend and you both made jokes about each other, she might feel that the critizisem isn't that big of a deal for you. Because you might handle the jokes okay. What I think you should say to her is just talk to her and tell her, "why are you being so critcal to me and not your other friends?" If she doesnt answer... email her or write her a note. I also think this is a good plan, when you are with her and your friends around her and she starts critizicing ((cant spell that word)) you, say outloud "hey wait a minute, why are you critizing me but not any of your other friends?" then everybody will just think and say "yeah, why?"
