Question Posted Tuesday November 27 2007, 10:20 pm
I have some kind of "friendship" with an old friend. We have always been so alike back in junior high that people thought we were sisters/twins. So we went to different high schools and things changed. But somehow she ends up doing something that I do. I'm quite tired of it. We always had the same ideas. Usually I presented it first or that's what people said. I know we have similar ideas so I can't say that she's always stealing my ideas. I just want to look different from her. She's annoying me now. I have had my nose pierced for half a year and i finally found a ring to wear. She got upset because she didn't want people to like mine better/first since she just got her stud in today. It's just.. rawr! I want her to stop. Is it even possible to bring up or is it just completely wrong to try? Would it be wrong of me to try to change my look? I don't like to be compared to her. This is a bit strange.. and I know it's jealously too. We have always had this secret competition between us. A few years of it.. and I'm sick of it. I just want to be my own person.

Or if you aren't comfortable just talking to he tehn maybe you should change your look. But not to much. You don't want to make a big deal of it. and if you change your look, she might end up doing the same thing so becareful what you. I don't think it would be wrong, i think it actually is a good idea as long as it doesn't change you. So don't change it to much just enough to be different from her and as long as you don't change for her, change for yourself or it won't be worth it and you might get mad at what you did. Good luck
