is my friend using me?


Question Posted Monday September 11 2006, 12:55 am

I'm really into acting, and I just got an audition for TV and I told her that. Since then, she's been extra nice and invited me to go shopping and stuff. How do I know if she's using me to become popular or something like that? Also she REALLY wants to be a model and she's not doing anything about it and I'm telling her how hard it is to get into and that she needs to get involved, and i tell her how, but all she says is "but i REALLY want to!" How can I describe how hard it is to get into?

Most likely, your freind is, indeed, being nice to you because of the audition. You can do two different things, depending on how close you two are.

Not that close: Finding a new friend might be good if you aren't that great of friends. Also, you could try confronting her, although i understand that you might be afraid of that.

Close: Chances are, if you are very close, this fase will wear off. She will come to terms with the fact that you may become a movie star, and she won't be so obsessed with being your friend. You might want to take a little break from her for a while, to let her calm down. Don't be mean or anything, just don't do too much with her. However, if you talk to other people in front of her or ignore her, she may try harder.

Unfortunately, you will probably have a lot of this sort of problem if you get into the biz. You may have to sacrifice your social life for your career.

Just one question for you: how do you audition??! Sorry if I'm bugging you.

Hope I helped! Good luck on your audition,what is it for?? And good luck with the friend issue!

THATS SOO AWESOMEE!! i wish i was an actor..how do you get into the business? lol sorry,i'll answer your question now,
tell her you doubt you got the part,and see how she acts after a few day,she'll obviously wont want to think she was using you (if she was) so she'll continue doing that until like...3 days,then she thinks its safe to act normal again. or,if she acts normal right away then you'll know. then tell her,look,if you really want to get into modeling,higher and agent,find some modeling school and look into it further." shes telling you she wants to be a model so much because if you break into acting she'll think you can just get her and acting job,which you cant do.i hope i helped

Dear Actress

Get your friend to stay over and tell her your story about getting into acting and i am sure she will understand how hard it really is to become a TV star.

If she treats you a whole bunch different than she did BEFORE you got the audition or if her attitude
changes should you not get the part...she was using you.

As for her modeling career...well that's hers to have or not to have. Nothing you do or say will make a difference. If she wants it, she has to do the work.
No need for you to even describe it. If she ever gets around to pursing it...she will find out on her own it takes work.

Good luck on your audition. :)
