first of all why is she your friend? second ignoring is the best weapon always. just ignore her. her threats to commit suicide is just the weapon to control u. trust me she won't do anything, or if she does she certainly will fail with her attempt.

if she is close to you, you should try to let her know that she would be a better person if... (and you mention the things you think that she needs to change).\nbut if she is just a simple friend, ignore her and get a better friend. someone that doesnt give you anything possitive is useless.

Unless your friend is going through a really bad time at the moment it sounds like she is not a very good friend.\n\nThe crux of the matter is \na) do you treat anyone you consider a friend like this?  If you don't why tolorate it from someone else.\n\nb)  IF you stopped calling you wouldn't have a friendship.\n\nSpend the time you spend on her making some proper friends who will make an effort, call you back and show that they value you in their lives.

I have a friend like that.  And it gets very annoying!!  Her main thing is with guys though, she always has to be center of attention.  Whenever I would be talking about something to do with me, she would always butt in and start talking about herself.  Finally one time she butted in and I stopped her and said,"Can I finish my story that I wanted to tell you and then I will listen to yours!"  I was just honest with her about always interrupting me with her stories, and when it came to guys she was always being too pushy for me to get with someone. (She's married so it was like she would do the flirting for me-and that is NOT GOOD!)\nShe is better now but she still has her moments.  I have known her for about 10 years now so we are pretty honest with each other, and we know we will always be there when the other has a problem.  So I say just be honest with her, a little at a time, and remember there are probably things about you that annoy her also and if she mentions any just take it as constructive criticism.  No one is perfect and who better to tell you about your faults than your best friend, that way you can work on being a better person together.\n\nRemember be gentle and honest!

Yes, there are many fake people in this world, tell me about it. I had a friend just like that, she'd always go on about herself and complain how her life was hard, yet when I tried to confide in her, she didn't have time to listen! She's no longer a so called friend of mine, can't be dealing with that.

i think your friend is being really immature. if she don't want to listen to what the new friend has to say then forget her and ask her if the shoe was on the other foot how would she expected to be treated.

Let her know that you are there to listen if she needs it.  Don't pressure her to talk or she may pull away more.  Just be there for her and when she is comfortable, she'll open up.  Maybe if you start talking about your problems or problems of a "friend" she'll feel a little more at ease about discussing her own.

Communicate with her!\nIf she is supposed to be your friend then you need to tell her how you feel, it's the grown up thing to do, don't just be sneaky and ditch her. You should maybe also stop to think about how *she* feels,  why is she acting this way? Ask her, maybe she is feeling left out, have you ever felt left out, it's not a nice feeling and It can make people act out and say things they don't mean. \nJust take her aside on day and talk to her and ask her why she is behaving like she is. She will probably apriciate your honesty.

Sure she does! She tells you these things bc she feels safe with you. Now if that's all she does is tell you all the bad stuff about her life and takes no interest in yours, then you are a crutch to her. It is up to you if you want to hear about her other friends taking a crap on her or whatnot. If you want to be the crutch, I suggest selective hearing. It can be a downer to hear about her crap friends, and keep suggesting that she gets rid of them and the negativity they bring. Hang in there, it may be a phase and she'll realise what a friend you are and drop the losers and hang out with you... someone who cares...

Seek professional help. First you need to tell her that she is pretty rude for thinking that you won't tell anyone that she is hurting her bestfriend, (herself). And if your friend is really you. Tell an adult at school or your parents, or a doctor. either way, this is not healthy behaviour and it is disgusting.

I have a friend like that and it is truly draining.  What I do when we talk on the phone is "unhunh" automatically while doing something else with an occassional "really!".  When I need to talk , I tell her to "shut up it's about me today, we'll get to you later".   This has been going on for years and it seems to work for me.

You should give her the opportunity to know how you feel and what is going to happen if she doesn't change the way she is behaving.  She is probably in actuality a very insecure girl that feels that she needs to put others down.  Tell her that a friend doesn't act that way, and that just as you would for her, you are defending your friends and their feelings...that is what friends do.

The poor thing...  She is lucky that she has you as a friend who really wants to help her.  I dont blame her for not wanting to talk, she must feel terrible.  I think the best thing to do is to go somewhere with her where there is no-one else around you guys, like the beach or a park or go on a bushwalk, or just do something that you know she loves.  Make sure no-one else is around (especially not the people who are making fun of her) and try and get her to relax and not be afraid to speak. \nIf you cant get her to go anywhere with you straight away, try sending text messages to communicate or write each other letters.  Buy her a diary to write down all her feelings in.  \n\nShe needs to know she has support.  Try talking to her family (as long as they arent the ones who are laughing at her).  If you dont help her now, (or get someone to help her) she could end up developing social disorders or agraphobia (where she will be too scared to leave the house).  You are a great friend, she is lucky to have a friend who cares about her and doesnt make fun of her.  Just help her through it as best you can.. And as for the people laughing at her, how pathetic.  They must be really horrible people to make your friends life hell. Good on u for sticking by her.

Tell her the truth. Let her know that the other individual is your friend and that you don't want to talk negatively about anyone. If she can't respect that, she doesn't respect your friendship.
