Why does my friend act "better" than me.?

Your friend is very insecure- if she can make you look bad she feels superior.\n\nYou need to find another best friend because if she were truly your friend she would not do the things she does to you.\n\nWith friends like her you certainly do not need any enemies

I think that either she is jelous, worried that you will fail, or if she's a friend she may just not want to loose you. If she's not a friend she may  just not like you and wants to irritate you in any way...if this is the case ignore her. If you play her game she'll only get worse.

Wow!  To me it sounds like she likes your man as much or more than you do.  IF she is your true friend she would respect you and not do that, so evidentally she isn't much of a friend is she?

Maybe it is just a misunderstanding.  You need to approach your friend and make the overtures.  Ask him/her if there is anything wrong and tell them that you have been concerned that you may have upset them and if so that you would like to make amends.  It might not even be you, or it might be something that someone has said about you.  Only by approaching your friend can you get to the bottom of it.

Life is too short to dwell on a petty persons actions isn't it? \nYou know the rumors are not true, and so would a friend, so anyone who can be turned against you so easily, sadly wouldn't have been a true friend.\nI am sorry she is being so bothersome, it can really disrupt someones life to have that happen to them, and I hope things settle down soon for you.\nAs you've already said, about her actions not speaking of intelligence, it sounds very true.\nShe may have a lot going on in her life, but it is not fair of her to play such childish games.\nLive your life, and don't give her the satisfaction of letting her know it bothers you, she just wants to get your goat. \nIn fact, just brushing it off completely, and being happy that you are not the one being so impish would even be better!

Yes, that can be an annoying problem.  It sounds like your friend may have some insecurity problems and feels people will only like them if they like the same things.  Your friend should learn to like what they like for themselves.

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.

As a relationship grows, you get to know your friend more each time you talk to them. Sometimes the longer you talk the greater you find that the other is not ment for you. Leave it alone. Find another.

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.

It's because you're acting mindless, he gives you less credit than you deserve, be objective and challenge him sometimes.  That'll throw him off.\nA.L.

Sounds like this is a one-sided friendship. Is your friend jealous of your other friends? Maybe he/she is insecure or envious of you because you have other friends. There must be something you like about this person since you have remained friends for over 10 years. Has he/she always been this way? Or is it something that is recent?  If it is more recent your friend may have a valid point. We all go through changes and unfortunately we cannot always go in the same direction as our friends. We can only hope that our friends can take a back seat while we are growing. And if the friendship is meant to be it will be there when we return to earth. If your friend has always been like this, I would say it is time to reevaluate your friendship with her. Sounds like she is not the kind of friend you want to keep.\n\nI have 3 friends that I have known for over 35 years and there were times that we didn't speak or see each other, but we are still the best of friends today.

It sounds to me like you need a new best friend.\nIf he acts like that toward you then he is NOT a friend.\n\nI doubt if he will change back to how he used to be.  I've never heard of THAT happening.\n\nSince the two of you were freinds for SO long, that tells me that YOU are a great friend to have.\n\nIt should be VERY easy to replace him with someone who will appreciate having you as their friend.\n\nLeave the loser alone, move on and find new freinds so you can go back to being happy!

You answered your own question, as humans we are programmed to want what we cant have. But remember this, you had him once, and your heart told you that you made better friends. Remain friends, and be the best at it

she has a bad issue and getting friends i bet? sweetie you just have to slowly slack from her, so she can get the hint, and also tell first and see how she acts by telling her how you feel about the friendship you both have. tell her that to listen to u for a moment and let her know. u seem sweet to let a friend hurt you. be sweet and don't stoop to her level.be straight foward. if he doesn't work and she bitch at you. then she is not a true friend. you can find better.

It could be that he does just want to hear something different for a change - that's not an insult to your character, as its nice to have a friend you can share your problems with.  But if that's all that's ever discussed between the two of you, maybe he's tired of listening, since he probably has problems of his own.  Try talking about something cheerful for a change, or asking him how he's doing & listening to his problems.
