Is it normal to have a bestfriend you really dont like?

I have a frind. Shes has 2 older brothers and a mom. she claims she knows none of her other family. Most of my other friends knew her before me, because she didnt really appeal to me as a friend. You know, one of those ppl you just dont really like. Well, after about a year of just knowing her, she started getting real close to me, and one of my closer friends said she used to be really girly and loved things like hanna montana before she met me. (poserish?) Iv never been to girly myself, more of the tomboy. She always complains to me how her families poor, but her mom is a manager nurse at a hospital, so she makes around 16 bucks an hour!. A LOT more than my mom, which is a phamacy tech at wallmart, (7-8 bucks an hour) and our house is bigger, and nicer. she sais her mom owes a lot of money to the irs or somthing, but there are these comercials all over tv to help with that kind of stuff right? they live in a tiny cockroach infested house,with 2 dogs ALL of them are to lazt to pick up poop after. (Honestly i feel sorry for the dogs.) Their house is discusting, and always smells like rotton food, but yet, she gets new "goth cloths" every weekend. And if i say, "oooh man! I love those converse! wish i had the money for em!" she magicly appears with them the foloing week. And every time she came to my house, somthing would come missing. Mainly money. So naturaly my parents blamed her. Well this whole car selling, money owing thing with one of her brothers and my dad has made our families basicly enimes. She Lies, Posably steals, and constantly tries to prove me wrong in everything, but for some strange reason, i HAVE to be her friend. No, wait, BEST friend. Somthing inside me wont let me drop her like a hot rock. Same as the friend that told me about her "change." She cant just get rid of her eaither. is it normal to hate someone so much, but they HAVE to be your best friend?

    maybe you like her because neither of you are very girly anyomre, and the other girls still are, or it could be that her life is different from yours and you find that interesting.

    maybe you've always been a good kid, and the thought of her being a thief is exciting to you. who knows.

    maybe she's manipulating you, or maybe you pity her??????????

    at any rate, if she's going to help herself to things in your home, you should at least protect your family and not have her over unless your parents approve of it. also, keep an eye out, because if she is stealing from you, she's not really a friend.

    Completely understandable. I think I feel the same way about a girl in my year at school. Admittedly my situation is completely different to yours, but I can relate to the feelings.

    You are going to have do something about this girl. She is spoilt and has lazy parents.
    I reckon some of the following could work:

    1. Set up a 'honey trap' i.e. leave something out to steal deliberately and see if she takes it. If she takes it, confront her and ask her why.
    2. Threaten to phone the police if she steals again (and actually do it)
    3. Ask her why she steals.

    She sounds like she might need help of some kind too.

    Weird. You're not weird, but that's as weird as copying someone's feelings, no one else does any of that.

  • if you well..hate her...then why do you want her as a best friend?? i think your attachted to her someway or other and don't wanna let go.. or perhaps you feel bad for her?
    she sounds very manipulative and devious!
