another question about my friend


Question Posted Friday January 28 2011, 12:51 am

so i posted a question about my friend is controlling. i mean she's like that around me and a few other girls she's close with. i don't know if she does that with her other friends. i decided to hangout with her less, but at some point she's going to ask me why and i plan on telling her because i am busy. i know i can't change her. but should i change my behavior and still hangout with her? i mean is it really worth it? because i mean she's become really religious and at first she would talk to me about Christianity and believing in Jesus and i was all for it but then i felt uncomfortable and it seemed like the church friends that she is friends with only like me when i go to church with them. i mean some of them are rude too, but my friend has become so controlling that it's hard to think that she's changed her ways because of the influence in her life. Now since she realizes that she can't change my religion she tries to change the way i look telling me to buy new shoes because mine's had a hole, wanting to do m y eyebrows, and always yelling at me and saying it's not a big deal, i don't why your making such a big deal out of it. i mean i am sick of it and i know i probably shouldn't hangout with her, but then i'll feel like i am doing that because she's mean and i can't stand it, but i can't change her. and not only that she'll want to hangout but she'll tell me oh i have to do some stuff i'll call you and then she won't call me til 10 o clock at night. and she never wants to come over. she's always says oh you come over because her lazy ass doesn't want to do anything. then she has the nerve to tell me i am rude to her too and starts saying all this crap. even though i am rude to her when she starts with me. she always says my name whenever she gets annoyed with me. i mean she's really unpleasant but i can't changer her so should i still hangout with her? i mean do you think it's worth it?

Additional info, added Friday January 28 2011, 1:02 am:
she said she would call me when she comes home from college in a month. i talked to her on my birthday but she never talks to me on facebook or texts me, and it bothers me a little, but at the same time i am glad because i need my air. but yeah i just think it's funny she calls herself a christian and yet she feels the need to talk me down and control me, to make herself feel better. and whenever i stopped becoming religious she would get mad because i stopped reading the bible and going to church. she acted like i had to report to her when and what i read in the bible. and if i went to church. but she finally got over it. and whenever she has a bitch fit and starts being extremely rude to me i ask her why are you so rude? then she says in her snotty little voice well if you think im rude then leave, and i get pissed, to the point where i want to just punch her. i don't know why i just don't leave. but she's pretty much my only friend for right now, even though i am trying to change and be a better person. but when i am around her it's hard to change my behavior because i get so annoyed with her. .

I think you should talk to her about it. Before giving up on a relationship you should exhaust ever option lest you second guess your decision later.
Whether she's aware of it or not shes controlling your relationship and making you feel two inches tall in the process. You dont deserve that and you certainly dont treat the people you call friends in such a manner either. When you approach her dont accuse or demean or shout at her about it. Just calmly talk to her about it and express yourself to her as you have done on here. Youre not asking her to change her personality. Just the way she treats you. And if she does change then please remember she may make mistakes but just give her gentle reminders.
If she refuses to change then youre better off without her. A friend doesnt consciously treat a friend with any sort of malice and for them to do so is inexcusable.
