so me and my best friend have been best friends for almost two years. recently she's starting to diss me in front of people but act all nice to me when no one is around. so today we were talking about first impressions. And she was just saying to me how her facial expressions may seem rude but she's a nice person. She wanted me to agree with her but i didn't fully agree with her though. so i just nodded my head and stayed silent. so then she goes " Well if i'm not nice you're not either!!" do you think that's rude?! would you think a person is nice if they act rude around people but nice to you when no one is around? what should i do about her?! how should i tell her that she needs to stop?!
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Shoot, this statement alone, "Well if I'm not nice you're not either!!" shows that. Nice people don't say things like that.
What should you do about her? Hmmm... Well, it boils down to this:
Is her friendship REALLY worth being treated that way? Is it worth putting up with that?
If you talked to her about this problem, would she listen? Would she actually stop?
You gotta come up with those answers. If the answers are NO, then perhaps you need to find a new friend.
If you ask me, she doesn't deserve to be called your best friend. Your best friend treats you like you mean something special to them, they don't treat you like an asshole.
Honestly, she doesn't even deserve for you to call her friend at all.

People who have two faces don't stop using them, trust me on this one. When you find someone who says one thing to your face and another behind your back, (so to speak), they are not your friend. I really don't think I need go further. [ GilbertMar's advice column | Ask GilbertMar A Question ]
