Is it normal to stay friends with someone i hate?

From the outside she is my "best friend" but really she just acts like she is. She's always making fun of me, taking all the attention, and putting me down.

    I had a 'friend' like this.

    I snapped one day and just told her exactly what I thought of her and what she was doing.

    Now I don't have to put up with her any more! :)

    Just tell her what she's doing and how she makes you feel.

    She's not a true friend if she's that bitchy toward you. You don't have to hang out with her. I suggest you find new friends.

  • Sounds to me like you should just drop her entirely, I wouldnt even bother with her anymore if she is like what you describe. If she is like that then it shouldnt take much effort to be rid of her.

    Most people remain in contact with other's for reasons other then what we would call "friendship" but its packaged and sold as being a "friendship". The strange thing is some of these same people would still view it as a friendship when it clearly isnt and its just a case of one person using the other or both using each other for their own betterment. Sounds like she is using you to make herself feel better.

    I had "friends" like this when I was around 21, and had a house all to myself, they used to just contact me since it was a place to drink at and I would only hear from them on weekends at the most. So what did I do? Said sure cmon on over, and by the way, your paying for my alcohol if you want to drink here.

    You use me for the house I use you for the beer. Its a win win for everyone. That was over 10 years ago, and surprise surprise I didnt end up staying in touch with a single one of them.

    Yes, if your friend is putting you down she is jealous of you (she needs to put you down because she feels inferior to you). I am a 20 year old male and I am going through the same thing with one of my "mates". We have been friends for years and we're as close as brothers. But WHATEVER I say or suggest to him, he disagrees and says the complete opposite, He interrupts me when I am talking or telling a story, its like I am stealing his thunder and he wants all the attention. I am an open and honest person though and my way of resolving it is telling him exactly how I feel (it makes my blood boil because I think he is doing it on purpose). To resolve this issue, tell her how you feel but dont be aggressive, eg if she starts putting you down, say something like, "Oh I wish you would hang out with me more often, you make me feel so good about myself :)" but say it jokingly. She may not realize how she is behaving, saying something like that will make her aware.
