UPDATE 18/08/09


Ok, so just yday, she called me again to come with her to the doctor.
I thought she was sick but she just wanted to get a doctor certificate because she skipped school that day.
Her reason for skipping school is because she and her friend need to finish their art project (they are trying to catch up).
I said 'No' to her.
She still persuades me like usual, but i kept on saying 'No' to her.
Then she asked me why i can't go with her, and i said this,
"It's because i feel like youa re using me. You only come to me when you need me and that's all. I'm sick of this and i don't want to do it anymore."
She was like, "But we are best friend.."
"To YOU, we are best friend. But to me, we are NOT. Remember that you forced me to say that we are 'best friend'? I really don't want to say it that time."
After that she apologize to me while sobbing on the phone, but after she apologize she said, "... so can you help me?"
After that, i kind of scream on the phone, cursing at her and everything. She cried and i hang up.
Was i being too mean to her?
Somehow i feel happy after that.. haha (^^)'

And someone replied that so far i've only talked bad about her.
So i'm gonna add some good things about her:
- she really can keep your secret
- a good listener
Those two are up till now.
But during the times when we hang our together, she's pretty much one of those good friends that you all might have.
Always hangs around with you, call you, etc..
Idk why ic an't list much of her good things.. I think my brain has been invaded by the bad ones.. haha

But thank you so much for reading this and give me some advice..


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just have to get all this rants out of my mind!!
This has been bothering me lately..
Oh and i'm sorry for my grammar mistakes here..

So I have this one story..
I have this one friend who called herself and me are best friend, but she only come to me if she needs me.
My sister said, that's what best friends are for. But still, how could she only come to me when she really needs me?? mad.gif Aren't best friends supposed to be hanging our pretty often? Sharing etc??
She only calls me out to meet her if there's something she needs from me.
But everytime i asked her for help, she got tons of reasons why she can't help me.

Ok, this gonna be a long one, i'll tell you teh story step by step.. Prepare.. mwahahaha..

So, i started to know this girl when i got my first part time job, let's just call her M.
She was new as well, like me, just starting the job.
I'm pretty talkative as a person, so i always started a conversation with her first.
And then in a few months, we hang out quite often.
But in our job, i was known to be more talkative and friendlier than her. laugh.gif

Then one day, she forced me to say that 'we are best friend', idk what for..
I don't really want to say it because what happenned to me in the past. sad.gif
Everytime i told someone that 'we are best friend', in the end we are not best friends. We barely talk, or for worse, we never talk to each other.
I told her that i don't want to say it, but she kept on forcing me to, she said that she won't do that.
Even if i deny to say it, i'm sure she'll force me until i say it, so i said it.
And just like what i predicted.. we are not best friends..

On the next few weeks, she went for a trip in with her church group to sydney.
And when she came back, she didn't tell me until the next 2 weeks. She was like, "Why didn't you call me at all?"
I'm like, "because i don't know that you are back, you didn't tell me."
Also, when she starts working again, her personality changed a bit. She became more talkative, which is good.
But then i realised that she kinda seemed to imitate like me (i am not being vain or anything). Like from the way she greeted people, talk, jokes, etc.
I tried not to think negatively in here and just let her be.

However, after that she never contacted me at all. She will only call me around once per 3 months, and that's normally she needs me to help her. She really won't ask me out just for nothing, she always has something to ask of me. Last time she asked me to come to city even though it's 9 because she got caught by the security for riding the tram with no tickets and she cried. I have to stay with her for 2 hours... =.=' She even asked me to send her home.
The thing is.. My house is in city, and her house is like.. soo far awayy!! It took us an hour to go to her house by train, not including the walk. I told her it's a bit too late, so i told her that she can stay over in my house or call her brother to pick her up by car. But she doesn't want to.
If i am mean, i would just leave the person there if they really pisses me off, but remembering her strict brother.. I sent her home.. and go back to city by myself.. =.=' Gosh..
It was pretty dangerous for myself.

After around 5 months not meeting or contacting her, we met in someone's birthday surprise.
On that day, i was wearing a plaid purple long tee and she was wearing an plaid orange long tee.
The first word that came out from her mouth was,
"Why are you copying my clothing style?"
my friend and especially me was shocked. We really didn't expect that to came out of her mouth. It's just a coincidence. Why do i want to copy her clothing style??

She also loves to treat me as a little kid and always think that she's the older one.
From appearance, she wears clothes like an adults: long coat, and mostly black.
Yet she starts wearing make up earlier than me.
One day, she called me out to meet her in the city. At that time, i just finished helping my friend doing her assignment. My cousin is a make up artist and a hair stylist, she's going to enter a competition. She needs a model for her assignment and she asked me to. So of course, i was wearing make up when i met her.
When she noticed that, she said, "Hey, you didn't apply your mascara correctly. Do you want me to fix it?"
Okayyy.. Anyone can say that my cousin might not be good enough.. But i have to say that my cousin is good. She's a pretty famous stylist in my home coutry, and i am sure M knows her.


Next!
This happenned recently, she needs to pay for a public transport penalty. But she doesn't want to let her family knows, so she asked me to do it. I mean, out of all so many friends of her, why does it have to be me??
She will return the money back to me, but she told me baout this penalty a day before the due date. Plus, she doesn't know which one is the reference number etc. So i asked her to bring the info tomorrow.
Sadly, i don't have enough money in my account..
When i told her about it, she got upset and mad about it, she said,
"How can you not have enough money?? I asked you to help me for this because i thought you could, but you couldn't."
I was sooooo pissed at this!
My family is nto as rich as her, okay?? I havve my own problems here.
She got her pocket money from her family, she got paid for everything!!
But i have to work for my pocket money + food + bills!
Gosh! She knew about this and she still says that! WT*!

Because of this, i have the thought that if you say to your friends who you think are your best friend that, 'we are best friend', you are not gonna end up as one.
I have some other friends that are alot more closer to me than her and we never call eachotehr best friends, but we are SO close.

So i just wnat your opinion about this, do you think this really is what best friend are for? Helping each other only when they need.
Do you think it's my fault somehow??[color="#FF0000"]

She's using you for her own gain.
You should dump this toxic friend.
Don't let her push you over even if your nice ^^

i personally believe real best friends don't have a name, meaning i don't call my best friend "best friend" tongue.gif

i don't think it's your fault... if she hurts you so much you should do something about it, or distance yourself from her...

I agree with the person above above...^^
I think you're too soft-hearted. You should stand your ground sometimes smile.gif You know.
It seems like you get pushed around or easily persuaded by her.
Next time, just speak your mind.

You're a pushover. You know she's not a friend to you so just forget about her and don't bother.

Omg. Why are you being such a pushover? STOP HELPING HER, imo she's not worth it. She has an attitude problem, she's selfish, and obviously a bad friend. My advice? Ignore her. Ignore her calls. Completely drop all connections with her, trust me, you'll feel so much better. Friends like that are such a burden, and this may sound cruel, but it's true, just dump her. She makes you frustrated all the time, she troubles you, and I don't even know if she said a thank you and actually meant it. She doesn't deserve a good friend like you. Good luck. happy.gif
one life, one love.

you can either confront her or just ignore her completely .

Definitely not your fault at all. She is simply using you for her own good. She does not care for you until she needs a favour from you. A best friend to me is someone who is there for you through thick and thin. Someone you can rely, trust, who is genuinely sincere for your own good. To me, your "best friend" is not a best friend. You should not consider her a best friend if you feel that she has done all these terrible things or the matter a friend at all. Friends do not do those things to each other, let alone a best friend. Reading the incident about the public transport penalty; that is not your responsibility, it is hers and doesn't she work. She should have known ahead of time when the penalty was due and pay it herself. I doubt that she will pay you back with her rude attitude. If you couldn't afford to pay it, its understandable. And forcing you to call her a best friend is not genuine. Don't feel that all the things are your fault, its that I feel that you are too nice of a person to not help anyone from what I read, even to say no to her. Don't feel obligated that you have to help her in the future.
You are your past and your history will continually repeat itself, no trust
positive & prayer

Let's be best friends too. So I can use you.
A lot of people want "best friends" cause of all the dramas they were watching and she probably felt that you were the type that's depressed all the time and would be happy to have a "best friend"

No way. First of all, you don't force someone to become your best friend. It happens over time and is built with trust and friendship. It also has to be mutual. It seems like she's just using you for her own convenience and is only being your 'friend' so she has someone to take full advantage of. I say just ignore or leave her. She doesn't seem like the type to change.

This girl is not your friend. I hate people like her, they're called users.
You seem to be too nice of a person. Honestly, if what I'm reading is true, then the next time she needs help getting out of trouble, don't do it. Tell her that you've helped her too many times, and she needs to get what she deserves. Karma is a b*tch.

Ignore her calls. If she appears at your doorstep one day and asks why you're avoiding her, tell her you just don't feel like talking to her anymore.

Don't let her walk all over you. If she is your "best friend" then you could tell her off and tell her that she is bugging you etc etc. But since she is definitely just using you, just ignore her. You know she isn't the "best friend" you want or need. Good luck with this crazy girl, i hope you can find a lot better friends than her.

I used to have a friend like this. She would always come to me when she needs help with pronouncing certain words in English (her English is not so good). I would help her with her home works, her boyfriend problems, just whenever she needs me back in high school. When her bf broke up with her, she was crying and I was just there with her the whole time comforting her. When I was busy in school, she would just tell me to hang out with her when I got other things to do. She got mad at me because I really was busy. This one time we did a group project, she didn't even contribute anything to the group. I called her up to see where she was at because we really had to finish the project, and she said she was going to come in 10 minutes because she was so busy. It turns out she arrived 3hours later and she said it was traffic. I didn't believe her because my other friend said she saw her at the mall with her ex bf. When I'm sad over something, she doesn't even comfort me or call me. In class she said she'd rather sit with the smart kids and she just left me sitting alone in class. Soon, our friendship just ended. I so effing hate her. Now, most of my close friends hangs with her because I think she manipulated them saying some crap about me. I don't need those kind of people in my life.

Wow.. why are you putting up with this crap?
Ignore her and remove her completely from your life. Tell yourself she's no worth your time, hatred, and energy.

Hm.....beat her with a stick to repay her "kindness". Lol. Best friends help each other in time of trouble, but that's not their only purpose!! You're right, friends should be there for your needs as well and to create enjoyable memories to look back at and smile. It's ridiculous how she expected you to pay for her penalty. If all you can remember is the way she used you for her advantage, then she's clearly a manipulator that should be DESTROYED. Lol. You're not alone with the belief that there are suspicious consequences for calling others best friends!! I try to avoid it, too. smile.gif The other soompiers gave some solid advice about ignoring her, so take it!! ^^
