My friend is really intelligent, but has a really low self-esteem. It's kind of depressing to be around her but I feel like if I stop being her friend because of her unoptimistic attitude, I'd lose a good friend. But than again, she drives everyone around her to the brink of their sanity for attention. She constantly nags teachers about her grades, thinking she failed her tests, and only to nag them to the point of insanity and most likely, she got an A or a B. The worst thing is if we go out somewhere and I suggested it, and she'd rather do something else, she'll act all dumb at the restaraunt, store, gathering, etc and people will literally flip out at her. The only time she's not like this is if she's in our group of friends. She says she doesn't know how to do something, such as use a computer, but than again, I'll find out she really does.She hates it when I'm not focusing on her when we're hanging out. I can't keep feeling sorry for someone who might just be playing games.

I think sometimes I am the only friend she has, because she's probably driven everyone else away. She's into guys. I've tried to tell her she's smart, but she says she's been pushed around a lot and from as far back as she can remember, people have been mean to her. I feel bad.

This person is narcissistic. She is the only person who exists in her universe. Please take her as a study of people to avoid in the future. For example, if you're going to take one of two jobs, and one of them has a boss like her, take the other job.
When you've had enough of a learning experience dealing with her, let her go and annoy some other person to death.

your friend is somewhat kind of attention seeker. Wants to be the center of all attentions that is why she plays dumb to be noticed. A person like that is hard to be with but i salute you because you still stand on her side. You are a good friend so i bet you can try changing her attitude by letting her understand that she is intelligent and not a dumb person. Good Luck

When she acts that way -- playing dumb, just ignore her and keep going. I am wondering what her home life is like, you may be surprise that she may not be getting any attention at home at all so she will try to get it from her friends.
