What should I do about my best friend's personality issues? ?

Question

I've been best friends with her since I've been 2 years old so we've been with eachother almost every day for 16 years now. We have so many memories and when we were together, we've had so much fun.

But over the past year or so, my best friend has had horrible mood swings. One minute, she's nice and fun and the next she's a complete ***** for no reason at all and it's making me want to spend time with her less and less. This makes me feel bad since we've been friends for almost my whole life. What should I do?

Answer 1

Is your best friend bi-polar? If not, sit down and let her know that you guys have been best friends forever and ask her if she has anything she needs to talk about. There could have been something that happened that she is keeping to herself that she needs to talk about. If that was accidentally the case, then just let her know that you are here if she needs to talk. Then, drop the subject.

Answer 2

Tell her about how you feel when she starts having her mood swings.

Answer 3

Be open, talk to her, let her know her mood swings and behaviors are really bothering you and making you not want to be around her as much.  She can consciously change her attitude unless she has a mental condition.  Definatly talk to her, just the two of you, in a comfortable environment for both of you, that way she feels comfortable and less 'attacked' and you feel comfortable also. Good Luck, thats a long time to be friends, your both very lucky.

Answer 5

She is clearly  having hormonal issues.  If there is nothing else going on in her life to cause her to act out than stop hanging with her.  She will get the message one way or another.  If you think there is a cause for her mood swings try to talk to her about it.  If she refuses to see she is acting differently than you have nothing left to do but to stop hanging with her.  Time will either make her or break her.

Answer 6

Mood swings are a shifting sign to puberty.

It'll pass.

Answer 7

I'm the exact way except I've been that way my whole life. I don't know what's happening to give her the mood swings, maybe she's going through a hard time though. It does sound like personality issues and the only way for her to get over it is to work on it herself. She has to admit the way she's acting and WANT to work on it. The best you can do is support her. Tell her she's hurting your feelings and confusing you with the *****yness part, but let her know that you are STILL here and she can ALWAYS count on you.  

Answer 8

Sometimes you need to set that boundary. Both of you are getting older and things may begin to change. You will begin to notice that there are things about your friends that you will have to learn to accept about them and just say to yourself that is the way they are and the sooner you realize that the beter off you will be.
