I had a friend like her once, we were best friends since 2nd grade, and one time she told me she was trying out for soccer and I thought wouldnt it be just so much fun if we tried out together, but no, she got very mad at me and told me it was her thing and that I couldnt do it, and if I was a real friend I would just back off. I did and have regretted it. She definetally intimidated me and it wasnt fair of her to do that. And its not fair of your friend to make you change yourself for her. Friends love one another, and they dont make one another change for anything. Friends accept the others quirks no matter what and love them for all the good and bad stuff. And Im sure that if you dont change not everyone will shut you out and hate you. Shes just saying that to make you scared and let her change you. Its just my opinion but she doesnt sound like someone you need or want in your life right now. I know shes been your friend for like forever but believe me friends grow apart, and sometimes its for the better. Just tell her that you wont change but you still want to be friends. If she walks away, thats her choice and shes missing out on something great. Remember that. Good luck girl! [ ambermorgan18's advice column | Ask ambermorgan18 A Question ]
