My neighbor is really show-offy...?

Question

she always says shes so popular, and she even said she started dating in THIRD GRADE! shes also really skinny and tan and shows it off by wearing tight shirts, reslly short shorts, and tiny bikinis. its annoying, but shes my friend! what should i do? PLEASE don't tell me she isn't really my friend cuz she lives next-door and i cant help but hang out with her. help!

Answer 1

LOL I have a friend exactly like that. What I did is that I stayed friends with her but I hung out with my other friends too. I still stayed in contact with her and stuff though. Every time she says she's popular smile and say "Yeah, you told me that already!" Say it in like a niceish way. Good luck!

Answer 2

Tell her the truth.
Ask her, grill her for information, find out about her. If her only annoying quality is being skinny, check back with her after her metabolism slows down or she has a kid. Clothes come and go, I can't change that my best friend wears XXL shirts, but hey, she's a lot more of a friend than the clothes she wears.

My friends love me because I say things others wouldn't.
You also find out things about people you may never know by not asking.
For example
My friend has a lopsided pregnancy belly(way to the right) and I asked her why.
I found out she has scolioses.

First of all, I find that people use the word "friend" really carelessly and that in itself is the basis of most of the "friend" problems circulating today. How do you really feel about her despite her obvious low self esteem and need to be seen and talked about? The fact that she lives next door to you now or has lived next door to you all your life does not necessarily make her a friend dear. Also, who thinks of who as the "friend"? All this should be taken into consideration. Real friends feel deeply about each other and do not try to show off on each other and do not show up each other. I like to use the word "acquaintance" a lot. Because I put a lot of weight on the word friend and half the so called ones can't measure up, I don't call them friends

Answer 4

First of all, don’t worry this happens to every girl. If I were you I would act just like her one day, “don’t be mean” but try to make a point by turning the table and making her feel like you. After you see that she kinda gets the point, tell her how you feel and explain that this is how you feel all the time. If she’s a good friend she will understand, if not then no person is worth being friends with if they make you feel bad and have a low self esteem.

Answer 5

There is a saying my mom always told me...khali panda barda shor machaanda...meaning an empty pot makes a lot of noise. The reason this girl probably feels the need to talk about how good she is because inside she doesn't feel very good about herself. Maybe, as her friend, you can try to build her confidence by telling her about some of the good things about herself that she doesn't realize...such as...maybe she is funny or intelligent or caring. Try telling her about the things in her personality that you like instead of focusing on the exterior things that you don't like. It might make you both feel better :)

Answer 6

Well, I think that that's o.k. that you like her, just as long as she is not mean to others (If she is, you may be building a reputation of being mean when you hang out with her). If you think she is Show-offy, try telling her. My bet is that she will listen; because she'll never know that she's show-offy if someone doesn't tell her. Good luck!
Your friend,
Blue

Answer 7

She sounds like she is actually very insecure deep down. Thas why a lot of people over exagerate etc.. She is trying to impress you, fit in. Sounds like you might be a bit jealous yourself. Not saying it to be mean, thats just how it sounds. Bottom line, why not be friends. She has insecure issues and feels she needs to falunt. Maybe if you hang out you can get to know the real her.

Answer 8

until eventually she is bare, there is not something you're able to do approximately it. She isn't breaking any regulations donning daisy duke shorts. it form of feels your insecurities have become the terrific of you, and we've all been there. have self assurance me, i know. So what are you able to do? Get available and placed your halter precise on and tutor off your guy or woman components! i don't dress like this lady does, in reality, i'm surprisingly conservative. yet, i spotted that 2 of my older associates (age 60) the husbands stroll their canine, and that they constantly end to speak to me on an identical time as i'm gardening, next element you recognize, their better halves are strolling down the line to get them lower back living house. suggestions you, i'm no spring chicken (age 40ish). i hit upon it wonderful habit of the better halves. LOL!

Answer 9

She thinks because she is popular or because she brags that she did this first or started in this grade she will impress people. Or it makes her feel like she is better... This is difficult because if you bring this to her attention she will feel you are attacking her. Find small ways of letting her know you really do not care about that stuff. Let her know why you like her. It is hard, but if you hang with her you need to let her know for your own sanity.

Answer 10

well you may or may not want her as a friend but i would try to out run her popularity and say things about you but dont lie just make them sound cool.then she may get annoyed and stop showing off and become more of a friend that is not showing off. She may even realize what she was doing!
hope this helped.
