What do I do about my friend?
About my best friend.
Lately, I'm growing increasingly annoyed with this. We've been best friends for two years, and as I grow up, I find more and more at fault with her.
She is completely incapable, socially. For A person like me, who loves to go to parties, she is the worst person to have as your "wing woman". Meaning, she follows me around, and whenever I'm having a conversation, she jumps in and just mimics what I say. Basically, she's a leech.
She says she is "proud of her awkwardness" and believes that every teenager goes through it. Hers is the bad kind. Not the lovable, awkward kid with glasses. But the awkward that actually makes everyone feel uncomfortable. She is incapable of starting/holding an actual conversation, because she comes off as incredibly irritating.
I think it's because she spends half of her time trying to look cool. Idk.
It's causing a problem because I love talking to people, and frankly, she might be turning people off from talking to me. She basically does not know how ot make friends.
On the flip side, I know that where I live, in Beverly Hills, she is probably the closest I'll ever get to having a real friend, in highschool. She is always by my side, and I thank her for that.
But the social thing is an issue. I can't have this. I need to be able to chat with people without her leeching off me, and all the other things I mentioned.
I mean, what do I tell her? There's something fatally wrong with your social skills?
It's really, really been bothering me lately.
