Is she being a true friend?


Question Posted Friday September 22 2006, 11:24 am

I am like nearly bestfriends with this girl at my school. We hang out at school, and on occasion at her house or mine. But when she is with a huge group of friends I feel left out. Like she is busy talking to her other friends and does not pay attention to me, and her friends that she hangs out with always look at me all weird like I don't belong with the group. And ever since school started she barely talks to me because she is busy with her other friends. Although I do walk up to her and say hi but since she is always with other friends she doesn't talk much to me.

How can I get more attention from her, and get our old friendship back?

Although I would like to be closer friends with her, and hang out more without her losing her other friends. I totally respect her other friends. Also, sometimes I prefer just hanging out with her alone, so how can I get that to happen? She is never available because she is busy hanging out with other friends and I would like to hang out with her as well.

I apoligize for asking so many questions, but please answer as many as you can, and just give polite suggestions and tips, please.

Thank you for your time into reading this.

Im in the same situation. its hard but i know how it feels like she only talks to you when noones around and whn other people are around she totally ignores you. like shes using you just cause noone else is around. well i think you should just sit down with her and be honest and tell her how you feel and maybe start talkin to some of the other people shes friends with so it will make her feel lke how you feel and it may get her to talk to you more. and its normal for friends to drift and i know it sucks. but i think you can make your friendship last

You need to know one thing: firends drift apart slowly at times and you need to accept that. She's not being a good friend to you if she ignores you and hangs out with a crowd that loathes you.

She is not worth your time and you should just forget about her instead of getting hung up on this situation. She doesn't respect you too much if she thinks that the crowd she hangs out with is better than you.

You need to move on and just ignore her. She's not worth your time at all. Make new friends. Join clubs or school activities as well as outside activities that YOU are interested in. It's a great way to meet people who have the same interest as you =]

It sounds like she is not that good of a friend after all. As for the group that she is hanging around with - why do you respect people that give you nasty looks and will not even give you the time of day? As hard as it might be, it sounds like you would be better off by finding other friendships to focus on. There are many other people who will have the character to act more loyally than your current "friend".

Hey,
I'm in the same situation as you. It's like you're friends with her sometimes... but when she's with other people it's like all her attention goes to them. Am I right? Well heres what I did-
I talked to her!
I told her exactly how I felt, I told her that sometimes she ignores me when she's with her other friends. She told me she would try to hang out with me more. For a while she actually did! But then after a week she ignored me again. So I kept talking to her. So if she was with her friends I would whisper "Hey, what about me?" to her. Then she would remember and include me. As for the other friends and that they look at you weird. Just smile to them and most of all- BE NICE TO THEM! If they look at you weird, dont stick your tounge out at them and give them a frown. Smile and just be nice. If your friend is stil ignoring you. Get into their conversations and just like I said, be nice to her. If you talk about what she talks about... I garentee ((sp?)) that she'll talk with you more. If she STILL is ignoring you... Friends change... so it seems like she's lost interest in you and you just have to keep your head high, and move on and greet other friends.

I hope I helped and all goes well between you two!!!

She is being a friend.
Its normal, for relationships,friendships, to drift apart, but if you still wish to be friends, you will make it work. If you want to still be friends with her, I would go tell her, and try to talk to her. Make effort, let her know your friendship means something.
You shouldnt have to try to get attention from her either, friends dont need to try.
Try making friends with her friends, of course it will be awkward at first, but if you are friends with them too, it will be easier for you all to hang out together yaknow?
