-- Posted by HeartMittens38 at 10:29 pm on July 2, 2006 I have been slowly realizing that my best friend from high school is not like me at all anymore.  Well, more like I am now seeing her for what she is.  And that is just an uniteresting, dumb bitch.  Really, shes cold and unfriendly.  None of my family likes her.  I am only friends with her because we have really close mutual friends.  I dont like being around her but I like being around them...and shes always with them too.  My question is: what do I do?  I need to shake her but I am not just leaving all my friends because of her.  I have other groups of friends, thankfully, but these people are my closest high school friends.  Ugh.   -- Posted by cyberpunk at 10:34 pm on July 2, 2006 Tell her you dont like her. It will make it very uncomfortable for her to be near you afterwards. -- Posted by ductcha at 10:44 pm on July 2, 2006 well, i recomend that you try ignoring her and telling her how it is you feel, also a good bit of humor helps even the most horrible of personalities reveal there better parts. -- Posted by goodman at 3:10 am on July 3, 2006 You need not tell in words. Your body language should do that slowly over a period. -- Posted by crazychris at 4:24 am on July 3, 2006 Since high school, I can't stand most of my "friends" anymore.  I can't believe I was ever friends with some of them.  Sometimes I'll be back in my old town and I'll be hanging around my old friends and there will be this one "frenemy" that is around and we just smile and don't say much to each other.  It's always kind of awkward when we are around each other, but we have the same friends sooo.. nothing I can do about it really.  A little advice.. don't talk about your friend that you don't like anymore to your other mutual friends because that friend being talked about will probably find out and that could make not just the friend being talked about not like you, but also others simply because you were talking about someone they like. -- Posted by Tenchi at 2:17 pm on July 3, 2006 well, we all have people we don't like.  but maybe your judging too harshly.  I hang around some folks I prefer not to.  but I do because I believe that they compliment my personality in some sense.(not in a relationship way, but human).  I just don't want to say no to being a friend to someone, unless they have a serious problem that affects my health. but if it's bothering you that much, you can tell her how you feel, that your not that comfortable around her.  but I wouldn't, since she's friends with your friends.  I'd just let things be.  it's better that way. -- Posted by Stupid lad at 2:03 am on July 19, 2006 u r right dear...u can`t leave ur other best friends just b`coz of her... remember tht if she is not reciprocating 2 ur feelings..dnt panic and dnt get upset coz she is leaving a gud buddy (and that`s u) so dear move ahead coz life is too short 2 be sad.cheers up
