My friend is way conceited. She knows she is and everything, but what she doesn't understand is how annoying it is! She tells me what a great friend or therapist or whatever she is (she isn't really a therapist) but I know it isn't true! Whenever I go to her with a problem, she says things like "oh if I were there this would have been bad!" and stuff like that that turns it into her problem instead of solving it for me! Not only this, but she also tells me lies--things I know aren't true. I ignore these lies because I don't just want to call her out or anything. What should I do?

By the way, most of these lies are just about guys..nothing really important...just her saying guys were fighting over her or something.

Anyone that has to feel they are better or smarter than someone else has an insecurity problem. Sounds like she has made herself her own best friend. If you really feel like you want to go to her with a problem of your own. Let her know you are asking her to help you with it. not to make it about her. Try to bring up, generally talking,about people who lie. Make sure it doesn't sound like your talking about her. Tell her how you could never trust anyone that lie,s. It might make her think about it.

First of all, your friend sensationalizes her life and lies about guys because she actually lacks confidence... and also blows things out of proportion for the same reason - LOW self-esteem.... and maybe she's conceited for the same reasons.
No one can solve your problems for you... but it's nice to get good advice.. from what you say about this girl, her advice would be unwanted by me....
Either accept her at face value or move on.

First off look in Websters dictionary to get a correct definition of a friend. Then walk away from this person that is just opposite of what you should of learned from Websters. Finally learn to handle your own problems and if you need to go talk to someone then go to a true friend.

if you value your friendship with this person, then talk with her, help her to see what she is doing wrong. a friend will give advise. and will try to help a friend.
Lieing is so wrong, those lies can ruin a friendship, talk with her but if talking doesn't help then just maybe you need to stay away from her.

well personaly i think you should stand up to your friend and tell her that you grown up and that you need to start doing things on your own and that its sometime ok when she wants to help you but you need to stand up for what you believe in and dont let her walk all over you
