One of my best friends intimidates me.
16/f. This girl, she's 17. She's more mature and experienced I guess. She does drugs and pretty sure she had sex. I can't really bring myself to hang out with people like that, yet she's still one of my best friends. She intimidates me. I can't talk to her without looking down at the ground and whenever I do start talking to her, I don't make eye contact and I really want to end the conversation. I can't talk to her online either...I get really agitated and nervous. I have no idea why. I can talk to my OTHER friends..just not her. Why is this? I mean, I like her...yet I can't talk or relate with her...

Well, I dont know. I sort of have a similar problem. Oi, Im especially nervous having her around the parents. Im not really sure how to solve the problem. I just change topics when conversation gets awkward. And if you still want to be friends with her and hang out, try doing things like the movies. Its dark and hard to talk. Or rollerskating! Gee, I dont know. But yeah youre not alone.

Ok well that's a littel wierd maybe you should just back down on being her friend. It seems like your trying to be herfriend when you guys shouldn't be friends. You might think you like her but you really don't becasue if you can't keep a conversation with her without eye contac that kind of gives it away. Friendship should be about having fun and loving each other know matter what, and it don't sound to me like you can have to much fun with her if shes more experienced then you.

its perfectly normal to be intimidated by someone with more life experience. you are afraid to sound childish and immature. the best thing to do is work on talking to her more. break the ice and see if you have any ability to relate to her, if not maybe youre best off as acquaintances.
