You may not like the answer, but its probably becaus eyou let them control you, and these people tend to attract each other, I kno wbecause the same thing happens to me!

I am assuming that you have male friends...and curious if they detect a bit of an uncomfortable vibe from you when you are around...maybe you being uneasy puts off some sort of signal that causes everyone else to be uneasy also...just don't try to hard maybe that's the problem...sometimes over doing the masculine thing causes doubt in everyone...just be yourself...true friends care about you for you...

Some men need to feel like they have control over EVERYTHING.  Believe me-been there done that.  I dated a guy who was extremely controlling, manipulative, and verbally abusive.  Took a year before I gave him the boot.  He needed to be in control of everyone and everything around him.  I think it's a sickness.

It will be extremely tough to make this very important lifestyle decision without changing your friends or your social life. If you have extreme willpower and think you can manage them both, then by all means try to do so.\n\nBut if you keep falling into the trap of doing E because you are with your friends, I'd say they have to go.

I had the same problem. my friend of 6 years kept getting really jealous over my friend of just 2 months. Every time she came close my friend would jump in and pull me away. Not only that she was very close knit. I mean when ever she introduced me to someone she would say "MY BEST FRIEND". It got a little annoying when she wanted me to do the same. It got really bad when she started to make fun of my other friend. That's when I told her, hey listen, you have been my best friend so all these years. And if you think that she is going to steal me away from you, then you must not trust me enough, do you really think i am going to drop you after so many years together? I told her that if i wanted to stop being her friend I would have stopped, but I'm still here. I think you should just tell it to her straight, and if she doesn't believe you, that's her fault.

Despite my best efforts.\n\nIt's a weird thing about efforts to control, in trying to control everything, we end up out of control.\n\nThe ultimate state of control is being able to give up control, if you will.

definitely not normal... it depends on the nature of your problem... try to rectify it... no point in losing a friend over a tiny RANDOM squabble...

I can't believe that you did it all by yourself with none of your buddies around?\nYou are mixing with the wrong people - try to find a way to part company and find yourself some True and Honest Friends.

thanks for answering my question! (first of all).. now to help ypu with yours.. COMMUNICATION is key.. nobody can know everything about someone.. he is acting like he has OCD or someting... you know things that you remember and admire about folks.. not their whole self.. because that is an illusion.. it can totally change at any given moment when a person changes their mind. dont let him be so controlling.. tell him to go with the flow and if you dont know or REMEMBER everythng about him.. IT'S NOT LIFE OR DEATH! LOVE IS FRIENDSHIP..

A lot of times, people are so consumed in their own problems, they don't even realize what they are doing.  Hang in there.  I have come to realize that if we have one awesome friend, we are quite fortunate.  I am sure you still have people around you that care about you.

Everyone has their flaws.. I have two friends like yours too, and they're my best buddies... Sometimes, both of them are there for me, sometimes it's just one of them, and sometimes neither.\n\nWhen neither are they for me, it's time i question their loyalty. But then i realised that maybe they just aren't comfortable dealing with the problem i have.. because they are clueless of what to say. sometimes they have other bigger priorities, like family... I dun think we can expect our friends to be there for us the 24/7\n\nMaybe you should spread out and find other friends.. to help you deal with different situations. we can't hold on just to several people.

Because people compartmentalize their lives. I do the God thing here, I act this way around those friends, I do these things around others. That's the way a lot of people are. Chameleon's  :)

Don't any of you people have control over your life? A free being determines what comes into and out of ones life. Why should it bother you what people say even if it true or not true. Your worst enemy can be your  best 'guru'. Your 'reaction' is your choice unless you are a robot.

its possibe. ppl who do not have a stable mind and keep fluctuating all the time come across this problem. they r never satisfied with what they have. they always want what they like.\nOpen ur mind gurl and decide. U will come to know that one of them is made for u and the other can only be ur friend.
