I hate my best friend.

I hate my best friend...is this normal?

She is selfish, fake, manipulative and self obsessed. However she's amazing to be around, shes happy, fun and has this amazing positive vibe. There's something about her eveyone loves, shes so popular, i love it when she treats me well its so much fun to be around her. But she is so concious of how she appears to other people she calls me and spends hours talking to me about guys analysing their every word, she is obssessed with what she wears, how she looks, she edits all photos of herself, but she tries so so hard to make it look like to other people she doesnt care at all and it works. When shes with people she is sociable, flirty and happy.

I usually see the horrible side of her and it seems like recently its only the horrible side. She is lovely to everyone else but because I'm allways there for her she doesn't need to make an effort or pretent with me. In some ways i am quite pleased I'm the only one of her friends she is real with, we are both very close with two other girls and shes not even like it with them. But I hate it. I am allways there for her, shes never there for me. I know all her problems, she uses me as her diary, which i dont mind, but I never tell her any of mine I never get the chance....she doesnt know so many things. Sometimes I love her so much and I think, i'm so glad we're so close. Everyone comments on how close we are and It feels like we were made to be together but when its bad its really bad.

Sometimes when we have a really horrible argument, and i go home and cry my eyes out I tell myself I wont let her hurt me. She has betrayed me so many times, she kissed my boyfriend who is now my ex and has flirted with countless guys i like. She makes me feel worthless, unconfident and she constantly knocks me down. I hate it when we're not talking so I end up forgiving her straight away, I want her to talk to me and not act like i dont exist.m

Is it normal to hate your best friend so much at times?!

    Ditch that b****.
    I had a similar "best friend", but she wasn't as bad as yours.
    You sound like a great best friend. Find someone who deserves your loyalty.

    Get the fuck out of there!!! She's a completely careless, inconsiderate bitch. (I apologize for the language.) But seriously, what's the point of being friends (especially BEST friends) with someone who treats you like shit? In my opinion, it's not normal to hate your best friend. My reason: "Best" friend... Think about it.

    That is not a friend. I know from experience what those kinds of girls are like, I was close friends with one. I'm sorry to say this, but she's really going to end up fucking you over big time.

  • I totally agree, even though my 'best friend' isn't anywhere as bad as yours. She just always goes in strops with me for,like, no reason at all, like getting a good mark in a class. If i actually dare to tell her, she say im 'bragging' and flounce off. And apparently, just because i like reading, im rude and ignorant. This was after she made friends with a group who she spends increasing time with, which i wouldnt mind if she still talked to me. Apart from insults. I want to cut her loose, but ive known her too long.

    You hate her and it is normal. what is not normal is that you consider somebody who is hurting you so much, to be your best friend. you dont deserve a person with rotten inside.
    it is just my oppinion, but I made the same mistake. Got confused about frienship with someone who pretended to be kind to me -so I felt thankful for that- but one morning I woke up and realized I had become her doormat. Nobody has the right to do that.
    You deserve better friends, that is my advice.

    You sound like someone that anyone would like to be friends with and your so called best friend doesn't deserve you.

    Seems like you have a best friend behaving badly problem.
    Sometimes my best friend behaves badly. Most of the time, she says that I don't want to be her friend any more, and it drives me crazy when says that. Other times, she totally ignores me.

    Ignore her for a few weeks or months if you need to. If she asks you what's going on, tell her. If she apologises, go back to her and tell her how much she annoys you. Don't let her win!

    This is what you call a false friend. Someone who only hangs around with you if they have nothing better to do or if they can't hang out with anyone else. I once had a "friend" like that, who spread nasty rumors about me behind my back and picked on me behind the backs of our parents. From what you've said so far, this girl doesn't deserve to be your friend. You can do so much better than that. You might be a lot happier breaking this so-called friendship and having a fresh start. That's what I did and I have two very best friends (twins), who have never been nasty or argued with me in the 7-8 years I've known them. And if I could do it, so can you. =o)

    I hate my 'best' friend too. Even after not talking to her for a year I got together with her again and found that nothing had changed and there is still really so little about her that is likeable that I must sever the friendship. It's harder (or at least certainly as hard) to 'break up' with a long term friend than it is to breakup with someone you're dating or married to.

    Omg. I thought I was the only one!

    I HATE, absolutely LOATH my best friend.

    But we've been so close that I just can't stop being her friend.

    She fights over stupid things. We were talking on the phone about the president election a while ago and I told her that I wanted Obama to win and she was like, "You're so stupid. You agree with everyone. You're not even black."

    I was like wtf! I don't have to be black to like Obama.

    Then she started talking about my mother and shit and the next day she calls me like nothing ever happened.

    I guess I let it slide, but sometimes I think I'm using her 'cause she has ALOT of money and sometimes buys me things.

    I don't think it's mean 'cause I know that she uses me.

    But now I'm rambling on so I'll stop.

    Lol.

    Dude, join the fuckin club. I'm starting to hate my best friend. Sadly, we're nothing alike.. So I really don't get how we're best friends.

  • This is a one way relationship in a sense: that is, how you end up, behind the scenes, looking after her, and its all about her, her, her!

    But - you also enjoy the popularity she garners on the outside as her besty too, don't you? So you are using her as well.

    So it kind of comes back to you in what type of friendships you want. Doesn't sound like this is working. But that isn't entirely her responsibility. You are in there too.

    Oh this is soooo not normal. Your "Close friend" sounds like a sociopath honestly because that's exactly what it sounds like. I've met my share of sociopaths and psychopaths in my life (proof is according to how they acted and what their psychologists said). The best thing you could do is stay away from her. She feeds off you - eats your positive energy and leaves you with nothing. If she calls and insists on you contacting her, IGNORE her. Don't waste your time with people like that and find other friends who deserve you. There are so many friends out there.

    I hate my best friend too. She's a snobby white b**ch. She always brags that she's such a nice person, but deep down she's a back stabbing, jealous and super arrogant a**hole. She acts all innocent but actually wants everyone with a boyfriend to die, because she will never find anyone. Not only is she fat and ugly, she's a major slob. Disgusting. Eats like a pig and sits in front of the TV all day criticizing anyone pretty. Her mother buys her everything, because she feels so sorry for her. She's racist too. She says all black people are ghetto and told her HR manager not to consider resumes that had addresses from "black" neighborhoods. I hope she gets mugged by a black person and run over by a black bus driver. F***ng b**ch! I hate her so much...

    That is not a friend! I know exactly what you mean. You pretty much sounded like me when I was friends with my exfriend. Just try to distance yourself! Talk & sit with more people (besides her). Ignore her phone calls or texts. My friend was only my friend because she wanted to make herself feel better! She put ne down all the time & made me feel horrible. Trust me, You'll be happier if you're friends with someone else.:)

    Truthfully if I had a freind like that I would proboly follow them to the end of the earth I dont know though thats just me best freinds are best freinds for a reason if she is so true with you maybe she needs you if she talks to you about everything she is going to freak out when you leave weather or not she is a bad person she ovbiously need you . If you leave her she will die I think if she is that bad your the only thing keeping her sane she needs you for somthing .

    I had the same problem, being best friends with Queen of manipulation and one day decided to move on. I completely removed her from my life. She was fake and self-obsessed and unable to make a healthy relationship with another human being, she always had to mess with other people's minds.It's incredible how many good things in life i missed out, including really nice people because of her. She was a weird case, i don't wish her bad, but just want her to stay the hell away from me.

    I had the EXACT same person and "breaking up" with her was the best decision of my life! Except I still see her because her older bro has liked me for ever so I'm sorta stuck with her

    All I can say is... Whatever you do... DO NOT Tay friends with her. There was a girl In my 8th grade class, she kept screwing everyone over but still everyone followed her around like she was royalty. I never talked to one girl in the class but I always watched everything that happened. After Christmas break she transferred to another school and no body knew what to do.. Except me because I already didn't talk to them... Simplest way around it

    It's not that I'm not surprised you're still friends with her... I'm just surprised you have to ask if it's a good idea to remain friends. O_o

    I mean why would you WANT to be friends - let alone BEST friends - with someone who makes you feel like crap?

    It's a bit like eating a sandwich, finding you hate it... and then ordering the same sandwich the next day. How many times do you have to eat a bad sandwich before you stop going back for more?

    The boyfriend part however is a different situation. you can't steal someone who doesn't want to be stolen. I mean it's not as if he tripped and fell and landed on her mouth.

    It's not as if she stole a dollar from your wallet... she temped someone who CHOSE to respond.
