A shallow friend

Well... I have a best friend named Dena. I love her to death but she can be kinda shallow and it hurts. I can be talking to her and someone "better" walks up and you can forget about out whole conversation. Like I said she is my best friend.. but I just want her to acknowledge me for once. I want a normal friendship. Where we can keep a conversation. The only time I can keep her attention is when none of her other friends are around. Or when there are no guys around. That is sad. I feel useless!! btw I am a chick. But is this normal to want a good, steady, friendship with Dena??

    It's obvious that this girl Dena doesn't care about you as much as you do her. Find some other friends and hang out with them for a while instead of her. Maybe then she'll miss you and not use you.

  • No offence but dont make yourself all pathetic over someone who couldnt give a shit about you so what you should do is be in a group of people and when she decids to talk to you talk to someone else but do it infront of everyone so her ego gets hit.

    she can't be a good friend, if you having a hard time (as you say) getting her to acknowledge you. don't hold onto people like that. she sounds driven by image. leave her to it, she is not worth it. there are other people more better than her, that you can be friends with. for her to act one way with you and act reverse with others is two faced. you can't trust a person like that.

    Dena's not a good friend. If she walks off while you're talking to her because something better has come along then she probably just hangs around with you for the sake of having someone to fill the time until she can talk to someone actually important to her.

    No it's NOT normal for your "best friend" to just turn around and ignore you when someone new or "better" comes along! Best friends are suppose to be like Peanut butter and Jelly, The milk and the cookie, you know what I mean? two should be the ultimate Amigos! not enemies!

    All in all, I wouldn't want to have any kind of relationship with a person like that. I say go make new friends that actually cares, likes and acknowledge you!

    Ditch her!

    I would ditch your friend, I had the samething once and didtched her, thank GOD I did too. She would talk smack about any friend once they walked away and come to find she talked smack about me too! I was a bit ashamed when I did it for years that I just dumped a friend but I still talk to her now at 25 and shes still shallow and stupid.

    You should find some more friends! and she needs to grow up and realise that you are not a stone she can't just drop you when she feels like it because of the weight! your trying very hard but you should do it with somone who will appriciate it and not use you like she obiously does!

    It is impossible to change a narcissist - they will always be takers and never givers. You are better off to put your energy into someone who will appreciate your effort.
