My BFF prefers her summer camp bud to me

Last summer, my best friend for nearly all my life found a new friend at camp. It wasn’t so bad, at first, but she always talks about writing and calling her, and how she can’t wait to see her this summer. She says it to my face! Should I tell her how I feel?

 

 

Dear Betrayed,

Two of my favorite things about being an adult are that we don’t mind when friends have other friends and that no one tries to rub it in. Have you really been betrayed? Your sister didn’t steal your boyfriend. Your parents didn’t give away your room. Your neighbor didn’t post your secrets on Facebook. True, your friend made another friend, but that’s not so bad—what’s bat is that she’s boasting about it and that you’re letting it get to you.

 

Try to be honest with her and say, “Look, I know you’re excited to see your camp friend, but enough already.” Also, why not work harder to make your own new friends? Even if it’s too late to join chorus or try out for the play, it’s never too late to say hi to a girl in chemistry lab or invite the new girl over for a couple of movies and some popcorn.

**MOD** **MOD** **MOD** I just recently moved to a new school. I don't know how to make new friends because I am really shy. Plus, I feel like nobody wants to talk to me; like I'm a bother. How do I overcome my shyness and make new friends?

 

Hey! try making it your goal to talk to at least one new person per day. bonus points for more. people are bound to warm up to you if you persist! I know you can do it!

Yes! And make sure to get your point across.

Hey this friend of yours
Made you betray me
Forget about her
Or I'll tell mommy

I'm in a similiar situation, except I made the new friend. I met her online, and I consider her my best friend. I get along with her way better than my school friends, and yes I talk about her to them. Does she act the same around you, except for mentioning her friend? If so, I don't see the problem.

I think you should talk to your friend about this. It is prob a misunderstanding between you and your friend.
