My BFF ignores me in public

 

Check these out, too...

  • My bestie isn't acting like a very good friend
  • Help! My BFF can't stand my BF
  • My friend sulks if I do better in school than her. Help!
  • 3 times it's OK to tell your bestie's secret
  • Girl Code: Is it OK to date your BFF's crush?
My “best friend” will act like a good friend when we talk online, but when I see her in public, she acts live we've never met. I'll try to talk to her face-to-face, but she won't even acknowledge my presence. It's been going on for about a month now, and I've done all I can to forget her, but it hurts. What can I do?

I'm not gonna lie, girl: Losing a friend is really hard, and it hurts even more when it's your bestie that you've gotta cut free.

Hang with a different crowd
 
Think of it like a bad breakup with a guy. Surround yourself with other true friends and let them help you get your mind off of things. Once you're having fun with your new girls, you'll begin to realize that you're doing A-OK without your old BFF.

Cut the cord
 
Just like with a breakup, you need to make the split absolute. If she won't talk to you face-to-face, send her an email expressing your feelings. Tell her that you've loved being her friend, but you can't take the split personality friendship she's currently throwing your way. Sometimes, you gotta say buh-bye.

Still feelin' blue?
 
If you're dwelling on your old amiga, consider this: Was she really a good friend to you? What about your relationship with her made your life better? If it helps, make a list of pros and cons. I bet the negatives will outweigh the positives.

I have sort of the same problem! My friend acts fine when we're alone but as soon as one of her school friends I don't know well comes she acts like she doesn't want me there and also like I'm not there at all. I told one of my other friends to tell her how I felt and she told me she doesn't try to make me feel that way. The worst part is that she keeps doing it! Like in 5th grade we were supposed to play together at recess and I reminded her right before and she still "forgot" and played with her other friends instead! Even more, she saw me looking at her and said sorry for forgetting and didn't even invite me to play the rest of recess time! I know she is embaresed to be around me and I know I should forget about her but when we're alone she makes me feel like she's really a good friend. HELP!




Hey Chica,

It's time to say bye to this mean girl! She might feel like a good friend when you're alone, but if she can't include you in her public friendship circle, then she doesn't deserve you as a friend. But are you sure that she's embarrassed to be around you, or do you just think that? Maybe she didn't invite you to play with her other recess friends because she assumed you would just come play with them. Your friend doesn't have to be a social invitation, just introduce yourself to the other kids in your class. You'll probably make new friends that you weren't expecting! Good luck!

My BFF and I are really close. I love hanging out with her and she likes hanging out with me too. However, when there's another person with us, she'll make fun of me and turn into a major hypocrite. I've tried telling her but she doesn't listen. She's mad at me now and says bad things about me. She never acts this way when we are alone. I really don't want to lose her as a friend. How can I tell her it really bugs me so she'll listen?

I've been noticing things about one of my friends lately. She's the kind of person who can never be wrong, and she doesn't listen well because she's kind of in a mindset that all of her problems are more important. She's really a great friend, but I've been holding back on being around her because she always wants to bicker about something or tell me that I'm not doing something right. It's starting to really bother me, because she's just become so irritating to be around, and I'm not really sure what to do. What should I do?

 

Hey! Just tell her how you feel when she picks a fight. say that if she can't listen to other opinions it'll be hard to talk to her. good luck!

Here's some things about me:
I'm Quiet
I don't get involved in other people's business
I'm super smart so I help the teacher with lots of stuff
and I'm really kind and considerate
Keeping that in mind I only have four really good friends (one's a guy so I don't confide in him or anything but he's always got my back)
I have two 'friends' (not part of the four) who think they are just the coolest things anyone has ever seen and they are so rude! Some times they twist words and try to get me mixed up in some drama , but most of the time it's about my other friends. They talk bad about every one and are so mean.
Any tips to help stop them.
Thanks Smile

 

 

Hey girly girl! Rather than trying to stop them, which you most likely won't be able to do, I'd try to minimize my time with them, and spend time hanging with your other, better friends!
