I need help with a friend...?

Question

Ok so I have a friend her name is Amanda were pretty good friends we always hang out at school and sometimes after(we ride the same bus so I just get off at her place sometimes...)BUT there is one thing I cant STAND about her she brags about EVERYTHING from being a cheerleader to haveing nice shoes! I have tryed talking to her about it but she says she dosent and it dosent help that her Mom & dad just laughs it off and gives her everything she wants! grrr! This past year in 7th grade(She moved to my school in 6th btw.)there were MANY days I wanted to smack her or just do somethng to make her shut her face! This year I want things to be diffrent(I dont want to have those urges again cause I feel bad after I think them...)so any tips on how to deal with her? Thanks ahead of time!

Answer 1

Just say "OMG Your so annoying talking about everything! just shut your mouth for once! Gosh you spoiled child!" I know it's harsh but it's the truth, the sad truth...

lol

Answer 2

I think you should confront your friend and tell her how you feel, but this time give her consequences about it, like tell her you won't really hang out with her that much but nicely:) Or just ignore her and when she asks you what's up then tell her you won't talk to her until she learns to stop bragging. by the way, if she brags then where is the time to build the friendship?  eventually she's gonna have to learn her lesson.  Even if it's done harshly.

1.maybe she can't control herself.maybe she NEEDS to brag I've had many friends like Amanda.so don't take it to heart.

2.maybe she's doing this because she knows her behavior makes you mad.I mean maybe she's doing this deliberately.

anyway all you need to do is to let her do whatever she likes.let her brag.and don't pay so much attention to what she says.

for example if she brags about her shoes,tell her you think they're really pretty.then see the look on her face :D

I hope everything will be right after sometime

Answer 4

When you hear her talking just zone it out and think of something you love or something or just realize she's probably bragging about her good stuff cuz she's jealous of ur good stuff and wants hers to seem better

Answer 5

Believe it or not, she just sounds insecure. If she was happy(and she should be judging by what you said), she wouldn't be bragging for attention. Just ignore it when she does this or look at her and say Let me know when you're done praising yourself and we'll talk, then just walk away and don't talk with her for the rest of the day. It might take a few days, but she'll get the picture.

Answer 6

How about confronting your envy issues.

That said, your friend sounds self-absorbed (if what you have said is that truth). Just start hanging out with her less. And when you are with her...just let her talk and let your mind wander. Do the most minimum amount of talking you can... before you know it she might start wondering what you might have to say as she wearies of her own voice. Either that or you will find new friends.

Answer 7

whenever she is annoying punch her like a joke. Laugh it off. That way you can let go of that anger and still have a friend.

^_^*

Answer 8

Try acting the way she does around her. Brag about everything when she's around, so then she'll see how annoying it is. When she finally gets ticked enough to confront you about it, just tell her that your just acting like she does, so now she knows how you feel.

Best of luck!  :)

Answer 9

Try making many different friends to.

Or when she trys to brag try to turn the subject in you.

Answer 10

Well, you can just go on listening to her about all her shoes. But you don't talk. Let her talk. If she asks, ask her instead. Why did she treat you like that? Why must she talk about shoes,shoes,shoes and more shoes? But you must explain yourself why you must say like that.

Answer 11

Love if you feel like this bout her i can bet u every1 else does 2. Next time she brags so. awww how nice.. well i got ..... or im gettin .... or act not intrested ... maybe u cud say with all the money u got u shud help a charity. that will shut her up hehexxxxxx

Answer 12

ermm.. well hang around with other people for a bit, and every time  she brags, think, well, everyone one knows she brags but no one cares. Its not like everybodys amazed with her, so we all know how much of an idiot she looks. (If this is all gobbledie goop its coz ive just woken up haha)

Answer 13

mmm...ignore her bragging....it's in her natures...........

remind her tho, but if she still doesn't listen, maybe she's just an annoying girl, but i don't wanna think that's true........

maybe if she's just trying to p**s u off, just leave her and hang with ur other friends...there r better people in the world....

but don't make her hate u!! hatred is one thing of the things we need to get rid of in this world

Answer 14

amanda as a inner energy called imorshpa  

Answer 15

Well, you wont change her lets be honest here. My opinions slowly move away from her as a friend and develop other or new friendships. You wont fix her; you can waist a whole lot of life finding this out
