Ever since my best friend and I have known eachother she has always wanted to do what I do and if that's not the case she wants to compete against me. I played soccer for most of my life and as soon as we became friends she decided to try it too. I wanted to try out cross country and so did she. I began volunteering for the city I live in and all of a sudden she wanted to too, not only that but she signed up for exactly what I did same time and same days. I recently got into a relationship and for some reason she's furious, she always gets angry when I'm getting serious with a guy and won't talk to me for weeks. She is very anti-relationship and hardly ever gets close to a guy. I've always been well off compared to her and her living situations and I've always helped her out. is it normal for her to be so attached & competitive towards me; not only that but why is she so angry that im in a relationship, everything about our friendship hasn't changed she's always 'busy' and off doing something but when I have free time and she's unavailable I hangout with my boyfriend and she'll get angry.

    Sounds like the movie Roommate. I'll tell you the ending.. Your boyfriend and you kill her intensely.After she tries killing you both.

    Good luck with that..

    Update on this story...we fought & i deleted her on facebook because her nasty posts about me without actually saying my name. So on twitter I posted one thing pertaining to everyone who's ever used me & she starts to post even more posts about me on twitter. At the end she calls me 'PSYCHO' & unfollows me. So I guess, that was the end of a 7 year friendship. Thanks for the advice, I guess this is for the best.

    She behaves that way because she loves you.

    She seems to admire you and wants to spend time with you. My friend competes with me (apparently) though I haven't noticed, ust other people say it. She tries to prove somehow that she's better than me - coz she knows she's not.

    She has no life and is just piggy backing yours. Do whatever you feel comforable with.

    I had a friend like this. If I saw something I wanted to buy, the minute I would leave she would buy it. I wanted to study a specific thing at uni, and suddenly she wants to study the same thing. These are only 2 examples but she did it with everything. I've heard it's considered a compliment when someone shadows you in this manner because it is supposed to show respect and that they look up to you. I found it thoroughly irritating...and due to other reasons, I chose to end my friendship with her a long time ago: she became a junkie...but beside the point, if it bothers you talk to her. There's no way to know if things will improve but at least you aren't holding the frustration inside you and allowing it to grow into something worse.
