Best friend question anything I can do she can do better

Question

I have this friend, we have known each other for many years now but she just gets under my skin. I only talk to her on the phone now because she moved to another state, but she has the any thing you can do I can do better syndrome. It drives me nuts, and makes me feel like we are always competing

example's the size of our wedding rings and band color

how big our homes are

who goes out to have the better time

Really when I do get to talk to her I want to hear all these good things, but I want to be able to tell her stuff too with out feeling either not good enough or feeling like she is going to have to out do me in some way.

Answer 1

Sounds like she is insecure and jealous.  Gotta be the center of attention and always having a good time.  She's afraid that her life looks boring to those outside of it and thinks she's gotta look good for everyone.  I feel sorry for her hubby.

Tell her that she sounds like shes getting fat and Im sure their will be a break down some where in that twisted little head of hers.

But, she is very insecure and you can tell her that for me.

Answer 2

She is just feeling insecure and possibly missing you ~ feeling like you moved on without her so I would just give her a break

Don't worry ~ just say things to make her feel special, she will overcome her issue later but if not you could always stop taking her calls
