It's really bugging me...
One of my friends really wants to be an actress. The thing is though, she's really not that good.
I'm supportive of her, because that's what a good friend does. But it just gets really really annoying because she's also so self-centered. She'll go on and on about how she'd love to play a part in a famous movie like Twilight or something, and she says the only reason she can't is because she doesn't know where to audition. Seriously? Come on. I really want to sit her down and give her a reality check so I don't have to listen to this crap anymore.
I get sick of hanging around her because she just keeps talking about how easy it would be for her to get any role she wants. And I really wish I could just snap at her that she sucks and stop talking to me about it.
How do I handle this?

Well, first you should understand that it won't be healthy for the friendship if you were to just completely let your friend down. Because I am aspiring it to be an actress as well, I know how much it would hurt to have someone tell me I'm no good.
I think the best thing to do is next time this friend brings up the subject, say "Well, you should probably take some classes and get some real experience before you shoot for the big screen. That is how all the famous actors got there, is by years and years of work." She may not get the message, but at least she might honestly try to get some lessons.
And if she says it again, answer her politely, "You would be going up against a lot of experienced, serious actors at these auditions. Its not good to start off cocky." But don't seem rude about it, just like you're sharing a simple piece of information. Hopefully, she will see that you are pointing out how cocky she is.
Hope this helped!
