Is your friend gossiping about you? Not cool. | Source: Shutterstock
1. Your friend always has to one-up you.
You spent days studying for that test and you’re stoked about that 96 percent? She didn’t think it was that hard, only briefly looked at her notes the night before, and got a 97 percent. You had stomach flu for two days and it was awful? She had it for a week and almost died. You think your parents’ punishments are bad? You should try HER parents’. And on and on.
2. She only calls when she needs something.
She needs to copy your notes from French class, to borrow that supercute dress, or even though she never calls you back, suddenly you have to talk to her all night on the phone after she gets dumped. If you want to borrow something, need a shoulder to lean on, or anything else, she’s suddenly MIA.
3. All her compliments are backhanded.
You know, they’re nice until you think twice, stuff like, “That dress makes you look less fat than the last one did,” when you’re out shopping, or at school, “You got a really good grade…for you!” Anything she says still points out what she thinks are your faults. Compliments should make you feel good, not self-conscious. You don’t need to put up with her bitch mouth.
4. She talks about you behind your back.
We all have our good and bad aspects, but she focuses on the bad and makes sure to bring them up with others. Worse, maybe she’s even starting rumors based on innocent things you might have said (ex. you saying “I got in an argument with Valerie last night” becomes “Amy totally hates Valerie!” when your friend tells someone else – who didn’t need to know your business in the first place). She tells your secrets, makes fun of what you’re struggling with, and if you’re having a serious problem, says you’re overreacting.

Ok, we all say not-so-nice things about our families sometimes, but when someone else does, that’s different. When your friend says she would never ever marry someone with what she considers a crummy job, like, heaven forbid, a plumber, and that’s what one of your parents does, she just put down your parent . . . and that’s a total bitch move. Things like, “My mom’s really chill, not like YOURS,” is judging. Being mean to your younger sibling isn’t ok. Making fun of you because of your religion, being vegetarian, political beliefs, or anything else that’s important to you is a no-no.
What can you do if you have a friend who’s acting like a total bitch? Try asking her about it; maybe she didn’t realize she was doing something wrong. But if she tells you you’re being too sensitive or making a big deal of nothing, well, it’s probably time to find someone worth being your friend.
Have you ever had a really bad friend? Have you ever liked someone and then realized they were acting like a total bitch? What did you do about it? Tell me in the comments!
Are You The One Who’s A Bad Friend?
Can You Trust Him?
This describes one of my best friends very well. She treats me like crap. Yet some how after I have realized this a few years earlier I STILL feel like being friends with her. I guess after being best friends with her so long I can’t imagine not having her in my life. The only thing that I really like about her is that she has a great sense of humor and when she doesn’t focus on pointing out my flaws we have really good conversations. I’m so confused :/
I think this sounds kinda like me .I thinks I need to be nicer to her.Me and her both do number 2.But I do number 4 rarely.At school people dont really like her but i still hangout with her even though my other friend makes fun of her and leaves her.We did get in a big fight in grade 6 when me and my 3 friends were talking behind each others backs.We hated each other for quite awhile.This happened because my friends did not like the way I was acting .I was hanging out with a person that was completely different from me and my friends and the relationship between us just started to get worse and worse . We were ignoring each other ,we were saying rude things about each other ,we were starting rumors and calling each other names.I felt that the person that was different from me was controlling me and they were bossing me around but I continued to hangout with them because the person was more fun and popular.But when summer had appeared my connection with the person started to drift away slowly .I still hated my friends ,but music calmed me down .I think what had changed me was the different musical genre I was starting to listening to 90s music»(alternative rock ,Weezer.The Strokes.ect) .It just had a small effect on me that made me a different person not mean or nice.I was neutralizing my feelings. When grade 7 started I actually sat beside them on the first day because my teacher put us in alphabetical order.So I was sitting beside 2 of them and one of the was sitting behind me.I was like “Oh great these people again.”A few days later we actually started talking and we became friends again.Like best friends .We apologized and said our sorries and we are still great friends to this day.Except for one of them.I feel very stupid for falling into the “popular” side of the crowd and forgetting to realize that these people have been there for me and they have helped me throughout the years and they have also been great friends.I really regret fighting and calling them names for no reason at all.
There’s this girl who acts exactly like the first one and almost everyday I feel like raising my hand and giving her a good slap ’round the face: especially for somehow managing to find a story that’s worse than having a chair thrown at you in a classroom and told you’re in the wrong.
That’s how my slowing slipping away friend is. I just can’t stand her. She is rude selfish and just plain annoying.
That.Describes. All.Of. My.Friends.
oh crap
TRUTH.
I had a friend like that last year & it didn’t end too well;
Now I have REAL friends that aren’t like this!
Wow, these all describe my best friend since grade 3…
What to do, what to do!

YES, SHE IS
Every guy I like, she goes for him. Even if the guy is intrested in me too, she only tries to get him away from me.
Wish I didnt know her.
One of my ex friends fits ALL the categories mentioned.
I’m glad she moo-oved.
Hey, let’s not use the b word, ‘kay? It only gives other people permission to use it.
Your point? It’s an insult. Some people need to be told they’re bitches. Guys are bitches, too.
I’ll call whoever I see fit a bitch. Some people are bitches.
Let’s not try to live life without offending anyone;
some people need to be offended.
Especially bitches described in this article!
my EX- best friend called my a slut for dating my boyfriend, just because he’s 3 years older than me…and then she copies all my wardrobe ideas, and only calls/texts me when she wants to talk about how “horrible her life is”…..and she disses on my other friends IN FRONT OF THEM……..so glad i kicked the trash to the curb
That. Describes. My. Bestfriend. So. Much.
