I don't know why my best friend and i are even friends, iin?

So, my best friend and I never, ever fight. But it's only because I'm so dominant and she is insanely belittled by me all the time. She's also very sensitive which gets on my nerves a lot. I just can't stand her most of the time so I try to avoid her. But I just don't know what to do.

So, is it normal to not want to be friends with someone I was just best friends with about two weeks ago?

    Well, over all take care of yourself. Sounds like both of you need to make new friends.

        Well first of all i should say you should be thankful ateast to have a friend, always have a look at others life and value stuff which they don't have but you do. It also includes friends, family and other relations.

        And second thing after reading all your replies i think not everyone could be wrong in understanding the way you described. Your friend is sweet and kind and cute but the way you described it made everybody think that you are dominant which you are not i suppose and would just like to say appreciate her for who she is (if you don't know how it feels when someone ignores you for what you are), understand her as you already know every human is different. Communicate more share your lives it will be fun for both to exchange your worlds.

        Thank you and everyone in here were and are here to help you out but just describe exactly what is on your mind if people misunderstand being aggressive won't take you anywhere.

        And say hello to your friend on my behalf i think we don't have much people like her left on this planet atleast.

          Well, I do know how it feels to be ignored for who I am. And I know people will think I'm in the wrong for taking a break with her and all, but she's not all cute and kind and sweet. She's also rude and she doesn't understand me. I know I should have more details, but I didn't think they would matter because I'm just asking generally if it's normal to have a feeling change in two weeks. I wasn't asking for everyone to tell me I'm a horrible person and everything. It mostly isn't my fault when she belittles herself, she's just insanely sensative. And none of these people understand, or are even trying to. thank you.

    if you avoid her and she gets on your nerves doesnt sound like you really enjoy being her best friends , sorry but she deserves better than you.

    You purposely belittle her and she doesn't stand up to you? Is that what you're saying? To be quite honest, you don't sound like a nice friend. You're obviously hurting her feelings. Just don't hang out with her anymore if you won't be nice.

      omg. No. I don't do it on purpose. Why would I do that to my best friend? Omg. She's the one that makes me feel inferior. She's the one who points out everything bad about me so everyone can see my flaws. She's the one who doesn't want to see me prosper. And that's what I'm doing, trying to stay away from her so I don't huurt her feelings and all it does is make things worse. Every move I make, someone gets hurt.

    Uh... yeah, what everyone else is saying - it sounds like your poor friend could find a much better bestie than you. Nobody likes those who belittle others to build themselves up. Y U NO TRY TO BE GUD PERSON?? Can't imagine what it would be like to be "that girl".

    Sorry if it sounds mean, though, but if you are in a position of relative power, use it responsibly. Otherwise you're just lame.

      Gosh, everyone thinks that I belittle her on purpose. I don't. I am just different than her and as she is sensetive, like I said, she often takes things wayy to harsh. I'm not mean to her and I work my ass off to be a good person. And I do use it responsibly.
      Gosh, I wish you guys would be more open minded.

        It's because of how you phrased it. The problem is that ^ this, I believe completely, but it's SO different from the way you worded it in the original post :/

        I don't think people are judging you specifically, it's just that the information we got (i.e. the way you typed it, the words you used) made it *seem* like you were intentionally and quite unashamedly belittling her. Communication online is difficult sometimes, and is most likely to blame here.

        If what you say is the case... the more irritated you get when you unintentionally offend or belittle her, the more she is going to feel awful - because if she truly is sensitive, and a good friend, she probably hates making you feel unhappy. I used to be very similar. I would suggest subtly trying to build her up and project a positive mood and energy around her, and see if this changes her behaviors. It may be that if she believes she is making you happy (based on how you act) that she will change what she's doing and genuinely start making you happy again.

        Negativity snowballs, getting bigger and building up when it bounces back and forth between two people. So does positivity. Start putting that kind of energy into your interaction with her just to see what it does, like a little test-run :)

          yeah, thank you. You're the best. but I talked to her and now we're not talking. I don't need her right now. And I have always tried to be positive. that's what I'm known for, being "peppy". but she's way too negative for me and I can't deal with that because lately my life has been teetering. So whatever.
          thank you a lot.
          (:

      haha, I don't know. SOrry for the confusion. I guess either one, they're basically the same to me.

    Yeah I agree with everyone on this one. Grow up! Maybe your the sensitive one.

    No one should be friends with someone they can't stand and wants to talk shit behind their back like this. Now if you're worried about her I understand why you want to talk about this but you don't seem to be at all.

    She needs to find someone better.

      Okay, this is dumb. I'm not talking shit about her behind her back. None of you guys know her and I'm trying to get a little advice, not ruin her rep. I'm not trying to spread rumors or anything. I am worried about her. How am I not? I want to try to fix this and how in the world would you ever know if I was worried about her or not? You didn't ask, so don't just assume.
      You guys all pretty much suck at this.

        Well I didn't say that you weren't worried about her in the first place. I said it seems like it.

        Just talk to her thats the grown up thing to do. If she still continues it tell her that you don't want to be friends with her anymore if she doesn't change that because it hurts you. It ridiculous to avoid someone and not talk about it. If she cares about you that much she'll change that and if you care about her that much you say something about it.

        Plus don't say your not sensitive because this obviously hurts you, nothing wrong with that. just say something, you don't deserve a friend like that if she doesn't do anything about it and she doesn't deserve you if you don't explain whats going on.

          okay. well, I did talk to her. And I'm not the sensetive one. I am sensetive, but she is more more more more more than I. And I did talk to her.
          everything's settle.
          thanks, bye

    If you can't treat her better than you don't deserve her friendship. By the looks of it you look down on her and treat her like crap. If you don't want to be friends with her than stop wasting her time. If your as dominant as you claim you are than you shouldn't have the need to ask this question, because dominant people are honest and straight forward about their feelings.

      I'm not a dominant person. I am more dominant than she, so in the relationship I dominate. And shut up. That's freaking rude. I'm on here because I'm curious if it's normal. Not because I'm scared of my feelings. By posting this question on here I was being up front with my feelings and you don't even know the whole story, so so go accusing me of treating her like crap and looking down on her because that's not what happened.

      no. only when she's all over my other best friend and tried to treat him like he's her's. and that makes me angry, but not one of the reasons that I don't want to be her friend.
