best friend trying to make me jealous


Question Posted Friday August 10 2007, 10:06 pm

I've been friends with my best friend for basically as long as i can remember. I dont know if its just me, but lately it seems like shes always trying to make me jealous and out do me. Like tonight, I went to the movies with one of my other friends, and put up an away message on aim saying " movies with myfriendsname cell it=]" and then left. And when i got home, her away message was "movies with cutie. then home with cutie" (which is one of her other really good friends) And she just does little things like that. And it REALLY gets on my nerves. How can i like get over this and not let it bother me? We dont have the same friends(we're different ages, different friends) so its not like we can all just do stuff together so she doesnt try to make me jealous. I dont know what to do.

ugh, me & my "BEST" friend do that ALL the f_cking time.

well in my case
me & my best friend hang out every single day.
and once in a while its really GREAT to hang out with differnt friends. right?
but when i do, she gets reaaly pissed.
and she starts posting stupid bulletins on myspace saying shes really bored!! or is having a stupid boring weekend blah blah etc.

i usually just ignore her & her anger [jealousy] agaisnt me.
or maybe you can confront her about it?
or talk to her.
but if this keeps going on,
maybe you guys arent meant to be best friends.

she shouldnt treat her friendship with you like that. HONESTLY, thats not what friends should do in the first place.
"honesty is the key to friendship<3"

Well, I can totally relate to this. I have been in this situation before. The only thing that I can tell you is this, dear.

People gain new friends all the time and as much as we all don't like it, we DO pick favorites. At any point in time, we all do it. Its not that we mean to, but it happens. There are people who just... hang out with you more or are closer to you at a given time and it just... makes the relationship stonger.

I don't think she is trying to make you jealous but maybe she just relates with that "cutie" girl better atm and is a little closer to her. It happenes. It dosen't mean that she loves you any less... it just how people are at times.

Im the meantime, I would talk to your friend about it, if it really bothers you, and maybe she will try to make it better. Who knows. It would prolly also help if you and her had a few "mutual" friends. I know that helps me when I can hang out with more than one person at a time. Just a thought.

Best of luck hun, and hope you feel better! Loves! *Smiles*.

ohmygod... i have a friend just like that. and i hate her because she's like that. You could just stop putting the effort into the friendship, and maybe she'll feel bad and start being nice to you.

just don't talk to her for a while unless she talks to you and is being nice.

she probably is just jealous of you or something.


i hope i helped.

I have a friend like that...the best way is to just ignore it, by her putting the away messege up just means she was trying to get a reaction of jealousy from you. Theres nothing you can do if you want to hang with other people, and i dont think you should say anything about it to her because its not worth getting into a fight over...i would just act like it doesnt bug you, ask her about how the 'movie' was to seem like it doesnt affect you. good luck
