my BEST FRIEND id doin my head in


Question Posted Thursday August 31 2006, 8:12 am

heya, i have a best friend called Laura. Shes great fun to be around and we are into the same stuff and its great coz we treat each other like equals. I do stuff with her that i dont do with my other friends like go straight up to lads and talk to them or go to nightclubs for under 18s and recently she treated me to a trip to alton towers.
Ive always been slightly jealouos of her because she is really pretty and she lives in a big house (in a different village) with a gorgeous dog and her family is quite rich and they spoil her a bit thought she doesnt act spoilt but now its all getting too much..

1.Recently shes been acting snobby and too good for my other friends and ive realised that shes quite 2faced too.
2.Whenever i go to her house i always come back wishing i was her or completely stressing out because of what she has that i dont.
3.She can afford to be what i want to be if you know what i mean its like shes living my life but better
4.She takes credit for my ideas and style
5. I introduced her to my friends at the skatepark and shes taken them all away from me
6.She is so pretty but its the products she can afford to buy that makes her pretty
7. I pointed out a bag i really wanted and she liked it too and was going to buy it because she had the money on her but i made it clear that it was mine when i got the money . i was really pleased because i had something against her but shes gone back and her mum gave her the money for the same bag in a different colour which made me want to kill her becuase my anger had built up so much over the year and it was like that was the final straw
8. Shes decorating her room the same style as mine but hers will be better because she can afford more and she'll take the credit for it
9.She has a ahem 'perfect' boyfriend that she keeps rubbing in my face anbut she dont realise shes doing it.
10. Shes moving down my street soon.........this REALLY PISSES ME OFF BECAUSE ITS A MASSIVE HOUSE AND I LIVE IN A CUTE LIL BUNGALOW BUT HERS WILL BE REALLY POSH INSIDE AND SHES HAVING THE WHOLE TOP FLOOR TO HERSELF AND SHES GONNA TAKE OVER MY NEIGHBOURHOOD. and she says shes gonna have loadsa partys but i wanted to be the one hu throws the partys in my town but itll be her now and ill have to live with it and be the 'other one' if you know what i mean. i could go on..
11.aaarrgghh i wanna die..or her to die...either way wud suit me...

I'm sorry but if she's being snobby and acting like she's better than all of you and rubbing things in your face ; that's not treating eachother equally. I would either talk to her about it, or just stop being her friend.

You just need to sit down with her and let her know how she's acting around people and how she's coming off as. She might not be meaning to. Just be like,"Laura, you're my best friend, you know that, and we have so much fun together, but lately, you've sort of been snobbyish and my friends feel like you think you're better than them or something. I'm not trying to say this to be harsh or anything, I just want to let you know how you're sort of coming off to everyone." [ or something like that ]

If she doesn't try and resolve this and make herself better, then I would personally just suggest stop being her friend. Who needs a friend who thinks they're better than people and snobby and rubs their 'perfect' boyfriend in their best friends faces? And a best friend doesn't steal the credit for stuff and copy ideas and buy the thigns their best friend wanted in the first place and claimed. And if you're getting that jealous about how she lives and everything, it would just be best to stay away from her too because you won't get as jealous and everything. You just need to realize it you have it good too. Getting stuff in stores, throwing parties, etc. It seems like a good life. I mean, yes, even though hers sounds a little better from the way you tell of it, there's people who got it worse, you know?


So you can still have your parties and everything, but you just don't need to be known as the best. I doubt you'll be know as 'the other one'. You'll be know as [whateveryournameishaha]. I mean if people do start making a big deal out of it or something, just explain to them you would've made it better, you had a certain budget and you couldn't go over it. Just as long as your friends and everyone have alot of fun and remember your party sounds pretty dang good to me.


So basically, my advice: Get a new, good, loyal best friend who won't make it seem like she's the best, and you'll have fun together without her copying you and everything. And just have a bunch of friends and enjoy yourself!

If she's really that bad, don't hang around her anymore. Make new friends and just forget about her. If she's really snobby and spoiled and doesn't act like a friend, than she's not your friend. you've been hanging out with the wrong person. Try to find somebody new out there who will act loyal and be nice to you.

I hope I helped!

wow, you should be happy that you have all the things she dosent have, like your sencerity, your generousity, ur kindness and honesty. she is just not in tune with what really is important in life, one word LOVE. she might not get enough, thats why shes been snobby to you , she is in DESPERETE NEED for love and ATTENTION. get her to avoid all the materialist thingd=s and superficial things in life like her new big house. As long as she can appriciate it, and be generous to you, no snottinesss, then she will be good agian.
