My friend is really sensitive


Question Posted Thursday September 13 2012, 12:39 am

I am a twelve year old girl from nz. One of my friends is super sensitive. Every time she asks me to sit next to her and I say no coz I want to sit next to someone else, (or something like that) she gets really pissed off and won't talk to me for the rest of the day. She always exaggerates everything and gets annoyed at me for the slightest thing. What can I do she's so annoying!

She probably cannot see there is a problem and has been oblivious to this all her life. I think what you need to do is sit her down and best do it with a teacher or a counselor at school present.

Point out that as her friend you know that some of your classmates as well as yourself know something that is killing her social game and will continue to if not worked on. Tell her you want to help her along with the teacher/counselor work on it.

Explain that she comes across as clingy, needy and ultra-sensitive if told people need a little space now and then and that her getting pissed off in front of them put them right off of her. Mention the exaggerating and becoming annoyed at people at the drop of the hat makes people back away from her.

It could be possible it's a learning related problem or a medical one (bipolar minus delusions) or that her social skills are non-existant. By offering to help and talking about it in front of a mediator she will see it as less of an attack and something you're doing to help her before she pisses more people of with it. Sticky situation but best dealt like this.

Have you ever talked to her about this? Have you ever said how it bothers you?
It sounds like your friend maybe doesn't have anyone else to sit with and feels uncomfortable asking someone else. In a way its good and on the other hand its not. Maybe suggest to her on sitting with someone else and picking a day where you two can sit together. Its not fair how she gets mad at you for wanting to sit with someone else. Try and come to an agreement and if she isn't up for that that it sounds like there is no pleasing her so I would o what you want at the point. Good luck!
