I know this girl, I guess you can call her a friend or classmate. She's the type of girl who is self centred, spoiled and rude. She takes jokes way too far. I used to not let her really bother me, but lately she's noticed I don't really go around with her as much so she's like trying to steal people away from me and making everyone pay attention to her and leave me out.

For example today she was away from the day before. And when people asked her why she was away, she yelled out really loudly "OH I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL" and everyone looked at her, she just kept talking about how she got her blood drawn and bone marrow taken out for tests because of something. Then she was talking about how her platelets (no idea, just what it sounded like she said) is low and that if she got a really big cut she would bleed to death. And the way she said was as if she was so proud of it or something. Like if I were her I would keep to myself to make sure my friends don't worry. Also everytime she's away or something she's just like why aren't you asking me where I was? And then after that when you ask her she tells the whole world.

Another fact is that she's spoiled, her mom will let her get anything, and she keeps comparing to myself. Like her parents own some internet business and she helps with her parents and they give her a paycheck. My job is cleaning tables at some amusement park. And she keeps comparing her job to mine. Like mine is an actual job that I found myself, went to an interview for and have to do real labour for, while all she has to do is run some testings for her parents. Like they're too different things so I don't get why she has to compare herself to me. She's been babied and spoiled by her parents since she was a baby while my parents have only been paying for the roof over my head and food since I was 13, so like other stuff like clothes, school supplies I pay for myself. She puts me down for it a lot, like at least I don't need my parents to pave my way to life.

She copies a lot of my mannerisms a lot too, like I am close to my friends and I sometimes might slap them playfully (not hurting them) or poke them as a joke and they don't mind (We've all been friends for a long time and see each other like brothers and sisters) and they do it back. It's all jokingly. But she takes this a little far and literally HITS people and laughs after, she slaps them across the face too. Like they say it hurts and stuff but she'll just laugh. Like one of my best friends walked past her and didn't see her so she runs over and WHACKS her really hard, I was actually pretty shocked and she says why didn't you say hi to me like a joke.

I don't know why her behaviour is bothering me so much right now, maybe I've been holding it in for too long. I'd just really like some advice on how to deal with her. I don't really want to confront her since she's soft and would probably cry and make me look bad to everyone.

1. How old are you guys?
2. If you know she's beggin for attention just ignore her

I find it funny how people take pride and always try to compete to see who has had the harder life, its childish.
Everyone has crap thrown at them in life, just cause you provide for yourself when your 16 doesn't mean you
deserve a standing ovation.

I'm not saying because I'm providing most stuff myself now I deserve a standing ovation, I'm just saying she should stop comparing herself to me because we're totally different.

lol i understand your feelings, and i meant that comment to be a general statement. It was not necessarily directed at you.
But if she bothers you so much couldn't you just ignore her? or is it because you have the same circle of
friends that you can't?

[bonjour tristesse.]

Even if you guys were at the same circle of friends, ignore her if you can't stand her! seriously, what other way could you have that's less criticizing to her? seriously.

I've started to ignore recently and she's kind of noticed it and has been in my face more like I said in my first post. I just want to find a way to tell her to give me some space, but nicely.

^ I'd say you can't play nice with ppl that act that way. It's either you ignore and then you a pinkberry back to her and then completely ignore her ^__~ works for me all the time.

Note: if you keep "pinkberrying" back to her (giving her attention) then she'll keep bothering you

~~~~~

but since you really want to be nice, try to talk to her one on one... if she keeps pulling this crap then do the ignore/pinkberry/ignore thing LOL
