For example, they brag about everything they do. They don't want anyone to get close to you without them getting close first. When their family is around they act like they are better than everyone else. This person always gets mad when i am not around and she gets jealous when i talk to other people, yet she thinks she is better than me. sounds confusing? same here.

I have a friend like that, what a bore! hahaha
Usually people that are like that are incredibly insecure about themselves so they employ different methods to make themselves feel better.
For example: acting better than you all the time can make you start to feel like crap about yourself. It's a cumulative effect, so just ignore it and know you're the better person.
And they control who you talk to because they don't want you to realize how sad and lame they are, so they control the possiblility of you making new friends and leave them.
So, keep your head up, ignore her, and make all the friends you want to.

That does sound like a stable deal. i recently bought a Heavy Barrel 22-250 from ***** and have been given the comparable variety of deal because it got here with a scope for greater decrease priced than the gun became merchandising for without it someplace else. The scope is a no call scope that the clerk reported in basic terms is supplied in a white field. I even have went out and sighted it in and that's no longer so undesirable. i'd be careful making use of it with a gun that has a great style of flinch, yet it is in basic terms me.

Well first of all if she claims to be a friend, then she wouldn't be
acting like this in any way. The hell with her, get yourself a real
friend, someone that shares the same personality, qualities
as you do. Those kind of people have snotty attitude and needs
attitude adjustment. Either that or someone needs to open a can
of whip ***. Once you separate your self from her then ignore
all her stupidity.

People like the ones you are describing actually feel that they are not as good as others. That is why they need to constantly bolster their own egos by bragging and try to build up what is sadly a complete lack of any self esteem. Just best to ignore them although annoying these people are really very sad.

Believe or not, she is insecure and does feel good about herself needs attention to feel important. That is why she does that. You talking to others puts her in the background and she needs to be the center of attention. Not a good thing. She knows she is not better than you but it makes her feel important to put you down. But as soon as you leave her and have nothing at all to do with her... she WILL be devastated, because she knows you are a good friend to take the mess she is dishing out.

Sounds like she's a bit insecure, defensive and probably didnt get 'heard' much from her family as she was growing up. Just tell her, hey, Im listening and Im your friend. No need to worry that Im going anywhere! Just let her know that you care about her and she doesnt have to prove anything to you, k? Good luck and peace.

You might ask this person the following question: Doesn't it bother you just a little that you're so perfect in every way and so much better than anyone else?
Maybe that question will cause the person to reflect on his on narcissistic self image.
Cheers!

Its a form of 'narcissism'. They want change. So except it, or move on and stay away from them. I think all of us have a least one friend that is like this. I do. She just adds color to my group of friends. So we all just listen and a nod alot. Eventually, you don't care about their constant bragging. You realize they need to feel this way, so you just end up excepting them the way they are!

The way I would deal with this is to ignore this person and not be friends with them. If you are unable to ignore them because you work with them then, I would try not to let them get to me. People act like this because they are very insecure and don't have any confidence.

It doesn't sound confusing. It sounds like you should get some distance from this controlling, domineering person. Her insecurity and constant self aggrandizing behavior are obnoxious and inappropriate.
