there is no pssible way for her to believe you unless she wants to. But what kind of friend would not believe her friend? She doesn't sound like much of a friend to me! OR....she's putting you down all the time because she has bad self esteem and that somehow makes her feel better by laughing at you. Find some other friends who have weird dreams and have a blast comparing notes :)

Dear Andrew ...\n\nSome of the above answers are good.\n\nI think you may be getting bossed around all the time because you are inviting it to happen.\n\nYou are probably not aware of exactly how you do it, but it's possible that you are doing it.\n\nIf there is somebody you know and trust enough to ask about this privately, ask them about this.\n\nWe all "invite" things to happen in our lives, often without being aware of it.

Two words GET OUT. This guy is a looser. He wants to control you by making you think you need him to survive. Without him you will crumble. He is trying to make you dependent on him. Looser he is a leach and needs to go. Fast

I understand very well.  \n\nWhy are you so concerned with being polite?  She is not being very polite when she helps herself to your things, especially since you've already told her how you feel.  \n\nNow it's time to stop being polite so she can absorb the message that you have boundaries just like everyone else.  \n\nBe very firm this time and don't go into explanations that make it seem you're half afraid to tell her - and say "This time, I'm telling you, not asking......Leave my things alone. Then walk away and don't let her run that silly little I-am-your-friend game on you.  Adults need to be treated like adults.\n\nI'm sure it will work this way.\n\nGood luck.

The fact that you posted this question means that you want to continue working. Have you discussed this with him? If you have, and he refuses to budge about letting you work, then you really need to question your relationship with him. I also have to wonder if he is pressuring you to give up your time with friends and family, too. Does he get upset when you are on the phone too long? Or irritated when it takes you too long at the store? Does he insist on going everywhere with you? All of these things are warning signs that he is controlling, and possesive. Be careful! They are also things that lead to abusive relationships. If he just simply wants you to give up your career, and won't budge about letting you do what you want, you need to ask yourself if you can live like that, or if it's time to move on and find someone who will encourage you to succeed.

Seems like this is no REAL friend at all. True friends are not rude to you like that. This person seems to be intimidated by you and is handling this by trying to make you seem insignificant so that hey in turn, will be noticed more. If they cared about and loved you as a real friend would, they would be shining a spotlight on YOU instead.

Honey, this girl will get you into trouble, it sounds like this girl wants you for her own!! my advice steer clear!  I have had a similar situation with a Friend of mine, she had a girl that hung around her like a bad smell, and she hated me, she treated my Friend like a minion and called her one!  I must admit she was a bitch 2!!  I think you might just need to sit this girl down and talk to her, perhaps she doesn't realize that her behavior is just a little OTT. The jealousy thing tho, this is harder to resume, but you have to ask yourself, why does she do that?? could she be insecure?  my feeling on this one from reading your little statement is that she is making you unhappy and that is wrong, why should she ruin your life, you are spending time thinking about her and your other Friend, there are times when being a little selfish, taking a step back and saying- 'whoa' this is not about 'me'...is good, do something for you, personally if she is as nagging and annoying as she sounds, you need to click your fingers to the left, click your fingers to the right and click your fingers to the left, (practice this now) its cool!!! and say to this girl- I don't need this drama' and walk away, because when push comes to shove all that matters is you! xxx

Give him one chance to prove he is a friend.  In private, tell him how his behavior is hurting you and ask him to stop.  If he does it again, he's not really your friend.

=cause she is the boss and feels like she can do as she pleases without any concern for others.  She is selfish.  Watch your back.  Good luck.

Talk to the friend.  Ask him what is going on with him, and let hm know that you have observed a change.  Maybe he is under some severe personal stress, or dealing with depression or some other mood altering condition.  Depending on the response that you get, you may either find a way to work out the solution with the cranky friend, or go to management to seek a solution.  \n\nNo matter what the friend says or does, make certain that your behavior is professional.  If you do decide after trying to work out the problem with both the friend and the management, that you will no longer choose to work there, then give proper notice, do your work, get a good reference and go find another job, preferably while you are still working.

she probably is interested in you but does not want to cross the boss/ employee boundry or she is debating whether she should or not. Dunno, sounds like she digs you though.

He sounds like a very controlling guy the next time he does this don't contact him in any way he wants control and you are giving it to him every time there are so many better guys out there you don't need a guy who constantly makes you feel bad about yourself. Get rid of him he does not deserve you.

it's a two way street. any relationship, both partys have to do their part to keep it alive. In your case, doesn't sound like a friend to me. He just wants to use you as his little slave to go fetch things for him. Just imagine if it was a death matter, would he come to your aid? only you know the answer to this. so ask yourself if you want to be friends with him for the rest of your life or, move on. you'll find other frinds who treat you the way you should be treated without asking them. don't pay him any more attention. go your way and do your own thing. if he really has a brain and cares about your feelings, he'll apologize. if not, you'll understand, hes just plain SELFISH. good luck

Aww that's terrible, to me it sounds like he's the one with all the problems and you're going out of your way to be friends with him.  He's being abit patronising and maybe it means he needs to grow up abit, so maybe there isn't anything you can do at the moment except explain to him again all this from your perspective.  When he does degrade make sure you defend yourself, and even if you're not right maybe you can give the thoughts you had that made you think that way.  But it's not an exam, and please don't let him make you feel bad and I really hope it works out!
