I have a particularly sensitive (and rather annoying) "friend" who can be quite cruel to others- what do i do?

She is certainly displaying inappropriate behavior but YOU can't change her.  You can however refuse to be manipulated by her "tantrums".  \n\n"Mary if you continue to behave in such a childish manner you will not be welcome around me."  And stick to it!! \n\nThis person needs a wake up call.  I suspect she has some very deep emotional scars caused by improper parenting, it would seem.  Giving children everything they want is as abusive as neglecting the child.  She needed discipline and love to grow up healthy, seems she got everything else EXCEPT what she really needed.\n\nI feel sorry for her, but I still wouldn't participate or even allow that kind of behavior in my presence.  Does that make me sound tough, probably.  But you should know I have had friends and acquaintances like this and I know it does not help them to let them continue the bad behavior.  Which is the most loving thing I can do for any friend.\n\nGood luck.\n\nPeace.

First,there is no harmless revenge!Talk to your friend. explain that your feeling were hurt by the rudeness. Go for the compromise and enhance your friendship or risk damaging it further.Demonstrate how you would have handled the situation without being rude.try a little role reversal action and act out each others part in the rude situation.

Keep him guessing...  =)\n\nJust kidding.  If evil ones who hurt others are treated with generosity, some may react well, but others who are bullies will take that as a license to abuse.  So, use wisdom.  My personal rule is give someone three chances.  AFTER THAT go after them, so they remember never ever to repeat.

tell her that u don't want to be friends with her anymore. u don't want a friend that jokes around too much and goes to far and threatens to beat u up and ur friend and does beat y'all up. tell her that a TRUE FRIEND doesn't do that and that a TRUE FRIEND is suppossed to respect others' feelings and not beat them up. u can tell ur counselor and or/ someone else that u really trust. GOOD LUCK!

Your friend just creates negativity in your life, you've done your part and she will never change her mind.  You should leave her alone and make friends with more intelligent people.

I know a person exactly as you describe and he/she drives me nuts....\nYou can't force people to turn to you no matter what you do...Leave them be and when they need you..they will come...maybe??

I am in that exact situation now.  I have 2 groups of close friends that hate each other and are constantly bitching about each other to me, who's stuck in the middle.  I deal with it by telling them I get on with all of them and I won't listen to them bitching about each other cos it is seriously annoying.  It's a hard spot to be in but if you get on with them all you have to stay on the fence.

Be friendly to them.  Really friendly.  Apologize as if it were your fault, but not in a weak way - just say you're sorry, you'll fix the problem, if there's something you can offer them, do it.  Take care of it, but stay above it, if you know what I mean.  And in your mind, know that other people are with you, and that this person is just making a fool of themselves.  If you stay cool, you win.  Also, keep in mind that the rude person probably has major problems, and it's pretty pathetic that they have to take out their frustrations on someone they don't even know.  And if all that fails, imagine them as the children they once were, and wonder what terrible things must have happened to them, to turn them into such mean adults.

Ignore her.  Don't hang out with her.\n\nIf you can't do that, just be nice to her and pretend that whatever she does doesn't bother you.  She is probably one of those people who likes the reactions she gets from you.  If you stop giving those reactions, then maybe she will stop doing whatever it is that bothers you.

This friend of yours is not a good person. She is definitely simply leeching out favours from others. Just leave her, don't talk to her. She'll definitely come back for more assurance. I think she needs some counseling.

Just ignore them. People would rather pursue the destructive side of their own nature rather than being constructive.Have you ever noticed that bad news and gossip spreads much faster than good news? Your real friends will not either care or call you names so concentrate on them and forget the rest as I have known some exceptionally nice people who have had different physical handicaps.

If she is making you mad try to gradually stop being friends...talk less and less 2 her....find new friends. If you stop being her friend all of a sudden she will talk about you.

Try to ignore them as much as possible...even if it is a friend.  They are just jealous of your happiness.  You know that you deserve to be happy and no one should come in the way of that.

Find a better friend this person sounds like an A*s*s*h*o*l*e

Sounds like you are willing to listen to her and be a good friend, but she isn't being nice to you at all. You don't need someone like that! I'm sure that there are lots of other people that would appreciate your friendship and treat you a lot better! Don't even bother with this girl if she's going to act like that cause she'll just pull you down.
