fake bestfriend; drama


Question Posted Wednesday February 4 2009, 5:09 pm

my so called best friend is really annoying she lies about stupid stuff all the time to try and get attention or to impress people. she will try and say something to make you feel bad and make her look like shes better then everyone else. shes not popular at all and not a whole lot of people like her.. she always has to be right, she complains about everything and if i say no thats not right then she'll get mad and say im not stupid i know what im talking about and or that I always have to be right which isnt true and during practice i had hurt my elbow and she said stop being a baby you complain about everything that didnt hurt as bad as my arm did.. just stupid stuff and im really sick of it, i like her cuz shes not always like that but i dont know what i should do or if i should talk to her about it?

Does she realize she's doing this? I know of stories just like this and it turns out the person didn't realize how self centered they were being.
She just sounds like one of those people who doesn't properly think about what she says and if you actually talk to her about it, I'm sure she will take your feelings into consideration in the future and think before she speaks.

I understand you situation, and I know this is going to be hard to read because no one likes to lose friends. But If someone brings you down and never picks you up, or makes you feel bad about being you then its time to drop them. Not saying you can't be friends, but maybe you should think about finding someone else be your "best friend" and just let her fall to the waistside as a friend. Both are just equally important, but life is to short to be wasteing your time with people who make you feel worthless.

As for being popular and stuff, the most popular kids are the ones who don't care about being popular. Just be generaly pleasant and friendly, and don't let stupid or jelous people push you around. Even if it means you have to break your "pleasantries". People are inclined to suppress those they are threatened by, kinda like your friend.
She's jelous of you maybe cause you are generally nice and people like you, so she's going to conciously or subconciously push you down.

Don't be a vitim.
don't stop being her friend all together, cause you'll need people to back you up if you fall, but don't let her so close that she drains you. Make some more friends, talk to other people and ask their intrest.

I wish you the best of luck!
