Friend Problems [Please Help =[]

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Okay. So I've been best friends with this person for 3 years now. But she has 2 best friends -- myself and another girl. But lately, she hasn't been treating as a friend. She has an attitude with me occasionally and more times than one, I had to save the relationship whether I was wrong or she was wrong. She treats her other 'best friend' better than she treats me and its messed up. I have gotten to a point where I'm fed up. My only thing is that since we've been friends for so long, its honestly going to be hard to adjust to not interacting with her. I feel that I have to stand up for myself. Just this pass friday in science class, she didn't understand a problem so she got angry with me because I didn't explain "good enough" for her (okay, like I'm the teacher?). So at the end of class her other best friend comes in and she says "there goes my real friend." Shortly after, I touch both of them on the back in a friendly gesture (we always joke like this) and she says "don't ****ing touch me!" </p>

<p>I'm just fed up with being treated like this. What should I do? I'm done talking and Im so ready to just drop her from my life.</p>

<p>Please guys any input would help.</p>

<p>Eww drama. Pshaw.</p>

<p>Get another best friend too?</p>

<p>That’s really messed up. Either talk to her about it or just drop her.</p>

<p>I have a friend like that too, except the hostility is more subtle. We go to camp together too, and I’ve pretty much known her forever. (Our mom’s were friends when they were kids/teenagers) </p>

<p>We used to be BEST FRIENDS, but our friendship was always on her terms. If she wasn’t in a good mood, she would pick a fight for no reason. I was sick of it, and in middle school I broke off our friendship. (We still went to camp together though)</p>

<p>Eventually we got more friendly, but she then became best friends with one of my close friends. Then last year she transferred to my school (ugughuhguhghghhhh) so now I see her even more. We are friends, but I don’t like it when she talks to me in a hostile way, like she thinks she’s better than me.</p>

<p>If you don’t like you, you should tell her. If she doesn’t understand, she’s not worth having a friendship with.</p>

<p>Break it off. Seriously, someone who treats you like that doesn’t deserve the title of “best friend.”</p>

<p>I understand you. I have a friend and we are both friendly/semi-hostile at times. This is b/c of jealoysy and alot of problems between us. So I am still her freind. Its hard to be friends with someone you are jealous of every day.
Wait- is your friend jealous of you. Do you perhhaps do better in school than she does- she may be looking for a way to express her feelings and doesn’t know how…?</p>

<p>ask her if there’s anything wrong , and why is she treating you that way ,
but be careful not to ask her in a way that’s hurtful or accusatory ,
if you pull it off right you can act like you are genuinely concerned for her welfare</p>

<p>“i’ve noticed you’ve been acting a bit different around me , is everything okay?”</p>

<p>^That’s a good idea. However, don’t be afraid to take action. Do what’s best for you:)</p>

<p>I would say ^<em>^v</em>v has the right idea. Approach her. Be tactful without being condescending. Most importantly, assume the best - she could just be having a bad day, or week, or year. She may not even know that she’s offending or hurting you.</p>

<p>Now, based on what you wrote, it’s probable that her hostility is conscious and fully intentional, but don’t assume that.</p>

<p>Maybe you should talk to her other best friend, too, if you see fit to.</p>

<p>Slap the **** out of her.</p>

<p>^I think theReach definitely does not have the right idea!</p>
