My friend is very conceited. She is always bragging about all the stuff that she has and I'm sick of it. It drives me crazy, but she is my best friend. How do I tell her about all this without losing our friendship ?
Your friend may not know how her bragging is making you feel, she might not even be aware she's doing it! The fact is, is that she has low self-essteem or even feels inferior to you!! This is not your fault, you're who you are and by the sounds of it it seems like she's jealous of you. Since she's your best friend you have to be completly honest with her. ... She should be ok, I mean, let her know that you're worried about her because she's obviously upset/jealous/feels self-concious about something. --Posted by emgecheerleader 04:51AM EST 09/09/04
here's some advice......
I'm sorry to say I'm in your exact position. Except my cousin is my bestfriend. And I know what you are saying. My cousin has a problem. She's got very low self-esteem. She needs a lot of attention on herself and if she's not getting it she goes to extremes to get it. Maybe your best friend feels threatened by you. And maybe she feels the need to impress you, but don't sit there and listen to her telling you this stuff. ... Change the subject as much as you can and take the focus away from her. She obviously has a problem if she feels the need to always have one up on you. And if the problem persists then talk to her about it and just be like, "You know we aren't in any competition here. I'm happy for you and the things you accomplish and the things you have but please don't feel the need to be better then me cause it doesnt impress me. --Posted by angehitch 10:22AM EST 09/08/04
