Annoying Friend


Question Posted Saturday February 2 2008, 11:54 am

I have a few best friends who i know are kind of my "true blue." ya know ? well anyways - theres this other girl and she thinks she's our bff but shes not. she's always buying us presents and trying to impress us, but we're not those kind of people. we love each other for who we are, and shes just trying way too hard and being fake. she's really annoying and won't stop talking to you until you give her the answer she wants. shes a princess at home, but not well liked at school because of her annoying antics. sometimes she'll come out shopping or something, and honsetly, i want to rip my hair out because she just never shuts up.

she means well, but shes just INCREDIBLY annoying and tries way too hard. how do i let her know that enough is enough? i want to be able to tell her to "shut up" but obviously not in those exact words. she just needs to back off a little .

thanks so much loves. ill rate :]

hey, well i know what you are feeling. i have a freind just like your freind.
well what you need to do is, just tell her that you appericate her kindness, but just tell her that she need to back off. tell her that she still can hang with you guys but say that you need you space. ask her how she would feel is someone was following you around, always talking to you.
the only thing you can really do is tell her the truth. and tell her how you feel.
also what i think that she is feeling left out, so she is trying to get your attention. so what you should do is just spend some one-on-one time with her. i dont know what else to say, but i hopw everyting works out.

write me back if you need antyhing else,and aslo write me back and tell me how it goes.

I totally know those kind of people. You run into those at least a million times in your school life, seriously. There's this new girl in our school, and when I got into a fight, she's all, "I'll back you up, girl, I'm from Brooklyn, I'll break the bitch that messes with you!" I'm just like, ""Uh, yea, right!" and she can't fight for her life, or flirt... seriously!
Anyway, sorry, I don't mean to babble about myself. If she like buys you something, this is what you do: you and her friend pretend you don't know she's looking, but you give the something to your friend and go, "I don't want this that loser gave it to me, so you want it?" and have your friend say, "ew, no!" and then you both giggle and throw it out, right in front of this girl's face, but pretend you don't notice her.
then when she talks on and on and on about something you don't care, just interrupt her, "ANYWAY, about more important things-," and talk, or just turn away and talk to someone else while she's talking.
If she sits with you at lunch, get people to fill in the lunch table so she won't be able to sit. If she pulls up another chair, take up space, so she'll feel left out.
Trust me, I've done this before, it works! But if you think it's too mean, that's alright, I get it, then just ignore her and not listen to her. Or tell her the truth. That's the best I can tell you!
Hope it works out!

Haha!! Ok story time. Now, when I was about 20, my best friend and I had a tag-a-long most of the time. She was annoying, a "princess", and just down right bitchy. One night, we were all hanging out together and her and I started doing shots. Well, we had decided we needed more lemons. When we left, my friend (sober) drove us to the store. We both sat up front and she sat on my lap and the arm rest. Well, she got really serious and said, "hey, why don't you guys like me?" Me being drunk, popped off and said because your a bitch. Now, if I was sober, I would have never said that. It's just way to mean.

Now, for you, what I can suggest is talking to her in private and let her know that she is trying to hard to be your friend and she gets to the point of being annoying. If you are honest and nice to her about it, it may not go so badly. Just make sure you don't say it offensively. Let her know that you guys can be friends, but she needs to tone it down a notch. I hope it works, good luck!!
