Should I approach a friend who twists the truth to her advantage?

Question

A friend I've known for years is starting to get on my nerves. I'm seeing a pattern where her stories aren't matching up to other gossips and stories.

For example, someone called me saying my friend rushed to tell her that I stirred up a heated situation between the two, which is not true. She had called me to gossip and I just said i knew about them but didn't give any opinion.

And whenever she retells a story, it exaggerates how I did something wrong, makes me a laughing stock and her look good.

We use to be best friends but I stopped hanging out with her alone. However we have the same group of friends and it is affecting friendships and my sanity.

If I approach her alone, she gives the diva attitude. If there are people around, she acts all cute and innocent. I don't know if I do anything about it or if I should.

Answer 1

i had a friend just like her in school once i separated myself from her everything was better. she sounds like a loyal b*tch someone who is two faced. time to move and get a new group of friends or at least leave her alone and dont talk to her again because it'll continue

Answer 2

wow, she sounds like such a great friend! lol. i think you should just avoid talking to her at all. if you are in the same group and she starts talking to you, just be civil, but not personal with her. don't give her anything to talk about where you're concerned. if she calls you, tell her you're busy every time she calls. if she tries to hang out with you outside your group of friends, tell her you can't because you have something to do. if she starts to get wise to this and asks you why you are avoiding her, tell her the truth......you don't want to be a part of her gossip, so you are removing yourself from it.

Answer 3

Confront her on it and then dump her a**. She sounds like a two faced b*tch who wants to make a fool out of you. You deserve better.
