I have a friend who always shows off and she might not now but it makes me feel sad. What do i do?

Question

I need major help. My friend always shows off to be what she gets even though she says shes excited she might not now that shes hurting someone elses feelings like mine. She got UGGs and a North Face. She also got an Abercrombie jacket which is the same one I want and she copying me a lot like with everything I want to buy. It hurts my feeling when she calls me up and says I got this and that. Sometimes i want her to shut up. I like cry because I don't understand why she gets everything I want and I don
't get everything. And on top of all that her mom is a pushover and gets her everything she wants lately. She was never like this but lately, shes been wanted all these cool clothes and acts bratty while wearing them. Some help me please. I need some advice.

Thanx :'''''(

Answer 1

1. If she is truly YOUR friend; you should be excited for her.
2. Don't worry about what you DON'T have. I'm sure you have a lot of cool clothes etc. too.
3. It's not all about what you have and don't have. Everyone shows off in their own way. You probably do as well.
4.Don't let these little things get to you. More problems that are more serious than this will pass you by in the future.

Answer 2

You should look at the situation in a different way. Your friend is obviously copying you or trying to beat you to getting these things because she values your opinions and your taste in style, a wonderful quality you possess that she doesn't. She may not even realize she is doing these things that hurts your feelings. You should (nicely) talk to her and let her know how you feel and what she is doing to make you feel this way. You really shouldn't let this ruin your friendship. Material things will come and go, you'll outgrow the clothes, they will go out of style, other things will get broken and thrown away, and they are all easily replaceable. True friendship isn't always replaceable and should be cherished and taken care of as if it is your most valuable possession!

Good luck and I wish you all the best!

Dont worry about what she wears or what she has.. after all, being jealous of what she has wont get you anywhere, and it could mess up a good friendship. Just tell her its not cool to be stuck up and brag.. its a really unattractive quality for someone to have! Just look at how bratty those kids on my super sweet 16 look... your friend will end up being a spoiled brat with no respect for what things cost if her parents give her everything she wants.. but thats her problem, not yours! Meanwhile, you will grow up respecting that you cant get everything you want. Money doesnt grow on trees.

Answer 4

These things will not make you a better person. In fact, NOT getting them WILL make you a better person because you will learn that people will like you just as well even if you don't have those things.

If she is trying to copy you before you even get a chance to do something, she must really be impressed with you. Maybe you could tell her how great those things look on her and then ask if you could borrow them.

Answer 5

Honesty is always the best policy. I know, I know it sounds cliche' but it became one for a reason. Just because she is a friend does not mean you can't speak up. I want to know what my friends really think of me; I am probably not going to change if I don't see a need but it's good to know how they feel. Now, if be boastful and a show off hurts you in any way then you might want to rethink the friendship. However, true Friend would at least listen regardless if he felt you were right. (Search within you to make sure you're not jealous of your friend.)

Nice poem firekitty. some people have more gifts than others. perhaps I think a yes but no I cannot explain.. I thinks its not too high but it all had to come from the low in the beginning. that is i think its alright if you walk with love in your heart. I mean in a world of confusion it can become unclear when you think of it. like when you are in a confused place and you ask? Is this truly mine? and someone else says is this yours? then someone else says it's his, then you wonder why you even asked... but at least we will always have the circus to go to. The clowns the fire eating parakeet handlers the tightrope walking lion tamers the cotton candy handlers the monkees n all :) keep writing!

Answer 7

yo,

if you're friend is showing of like that you should say to you're self "Its not whats on the outside but whats on the inside that counts" Dont get upset, you're friend could be making herself look daft. Maybe also you should tell her how you feel, and say you might have all these great things but THINGS are just things, they dont make the person any better.

Hope this helped!

high school drama! i was like that with my high school best friend, we had a lot of tension towards the end of our friendship cuz she'd always copy me and get jealous of me cuz i get stuff i WORK for. we ended up fighting (girl fight). well i'm not suggesting you fight, im suggesting you talk it out. i think its best you talk it out with her, tell her how you feel. like everyone says honesty is the best policy. however, if she shrugs you off, shes not worth all this. if she is truly your friend, she'd understand and will try to make an effort to stop..

also dont tell her what you like and want cuz she might just go out and buy it to piss u off!! =P

Answer 9

AHH I'm having the exact same problem now! I'm starting to hate my friend, but what helps me is karma (what goes around comes around) I start to ignore her and tell her to shu up now. We aren't the greatest freinds anymore, I don't want to be with people like that. I told her she needs to stop being a brat, she got pissed, but W/e shes just tryiny yo be cool , but failing

Answer 10

I think u should talk to her about it, because it is not worth loosing a friend over it, if she is a real friend she will take it good if not she is not worth it, hope every thing works out
