why cant i be happy for her ?


Question Posted Sunday September 10 2006, 7:23 pm


ok i love my best friend more than anything. but i cant be happy for her when she gets a boyfriend!

now you would think i was jealous, but i dont think thats it because the boys she chooses are ugly and have zero personality. i would never be with them in a million years.

maybe it bothers me that i know she could do so much better but she doesnt? but that doesnt really make sense.

i thought it could be because i dont have a boyfriend? but i have 3 gorgeous guys that like me, so its not like i need attention.

i cant figure it out. all these guys are so fucking annoying and immature. and when i have to hear about them, watch them make out with her, or like read their conversations when she wants me to, i get really pissed off. i always tell her no to go out with them or whatever, and when its over she admits that she was crazy to get involved with them. but then when the next loser comes around i tell her the same thing and shes liek "im not listening to you this time" and has an annoying little smirk on her face. she is so annoying too. liek ogm i get so pissed off. its really annoying me that i care about something so much and idk why! does anyone else feel liek this ?

Hey. Well firstly I think that you can't understand why your friend goes out with these guys when you feel she's way out of your leauge. It agrivates you because you feel she shouldn't be acting all happy with these guys when she could have better. She probably says I'm not listening to you this time because she wants to find out for herself what the guy is like and all on her own. She would probably be upset if she didn't give him a chance because who knows, she could marry him. This may be her feeling and this is why she gives him a chance and then breaks up with him without listening to a friends advice first. Let her date the guys she choses and you will both be much happier (I hope :)) and heck why don't you go out with one of those hot guys that like you? You never know unless you give em a chance right? Oh and to answer your question about does anyone else feel this way I think that everyone feels this way about a friend at some time so don't feel wierd about it. It's only natural to feel your friend deserves better :). I hope this helped a little and please give feedback my friend.

It's probably the fact that your friend tends to get with guys who are trash and losers. Now, the thing is that you can tell her 500 times that this next guy isn't worth it, but she's not going to follow that even though it's coming from you. She just sees a guy she's into and a guy thats into her and thats it.

If anything, she's not trying to ignore your opinion or put you down by going out with a guy you don't like anyway. She's just experiencing with life as a teen and the boys.

Now you may not like the guys she goes out with, but I do think that if she wants you to read their conversations, just read them and say something and then move on. If he says something rude to her, give her advice and tell her that he's not treating her right. As for having to watch them make out, that's ridiculous. If they start making out, you've got every right to get up and go home. What's the fun in sitting there watching two people all over each other while you have to deal with the embarrassment of sitting there in the akward silence?

Jealousy might have something to do with it. But lets face the facts here: Your friend is being a girl. Dating guys and breaking up. You do the same thing except you just might be picking the guys who treat you better. Besides, even if you don't like your friend's taste, don't insult it or let it bother you. People are attracted to different people and your friend is probably not attracted to the average skinny/preppy/skater type of boys.

So the next time your friend gets a boyfriend, take the time to ask her about him and let her explain how great he is. Don't roll your eyes and think it's another loser or you WILL get caught up in those thoughts even if he turns out to be an okay guy.
