So my best friend got this great job in Pittsburg. I have a good job too but not as great as hers and I recognize it. She keeps telling me that her boss told her that she's the best employee she's ever hired and met. Also my friend keeps telling me that she got all this kind of money from her job (bonuses, paid por relocation and a promotion)
I'm really happy for her I'm serious but every time we talk on the phone she brings it up and I really don't know what else to say besides "good for you!".
Also, everytime I talk about me she doesn't say anything. It's like she's not really listening to me...that makes me feel like she really doesn't care about my life. I love her and she's my best friend no matter how she is but sometimes I really need her attention. I'm not doing that bad at work...I just don't get the same great benefits she's been getting. I just feel like it's all about her and sometimes I think she's trying to make me feel less than her.

You should not feel insecure at all. She is obviously the insecure one, or else she wouldn't be bragging all the time about her job and how great she is. She probably feels the same way when you talk about you, that she doesn't know what to say other that 'Good for you!'. If, however, you do feel like this is pushing your limits and like she is being a bad friend, then you should talk to her about it directly. I'm sure that she'll appreciate your honesty, and maybe she can relate. Remember that there are 2 sides to every story, and that maybe she sees things very differently than you do. Talking directly to her about this is the most important thing.

I have to wonder if she was always that way, but distance and conversation on the PHONE rather than in person has caused you to notice it.
I also wonder why she is a "friend"--she doesn't seem to be supportive in any way, only wants to talk (and YES--brag) about herself. Maybe it's time to distance yourself from the friendship and cultivate some new ones...

I understand and it is very frustrating - Had a friend who did the same but in the end we broke friends - the one thing I can take comfort in is no matter how well she is doing her husband is a cheat and I have a happy marriage - revenge is sweet

For interest and he or she does stupid issues out of desperation. don't be stricken by technique of it..a ton of girls are like that. both faster or later she'll understand what a dumbass she's performing like..or she'll boost up 10x worse. attempt confronting her about it.

If she is a good friend, then you need to talk to HER about this.
