Why is my friend acting like this?

Question

On Friday (in journalism 1st period at school) it was decided that i was going to be editor-in-chief for our school newspaper. Then the next period my bff said "so you outdid me again". She gave me this really weird look and I was kind of hurt. I have worked really hard for everything i earned in school. But at the same time I feel like i'm being a bad friend somehow. should i talk to, but what would i say?

Thanks!~

Answer 1

You have worked hard and you have deserved it. There are people like that; ^__^" I even have to admit that sometimes I'm one of them. Your friend may just be getting annoyed that she didnt get to be editor-in-cheif. She may just be jealous. Just give her some time. She will get out of her grumpy mood if this is the case. She may just be frustrated because maybe she worked as hard as you did and still got outshone at. But it does happen. Maybe it's just easier for her to let out a bit of her own frustration on a friend. Honestly, that sometimes happens to me. I'm trying to stop it's just a characteristic I guess. Just give her some time. This may be the case.

But also maybe you could talk to her. You aren't being a bad friend. Don't worry. But just lightly start the topic. Compliment her a bit here and there about her own work. Then maybe when the two of you are alone start lightly that you didnt mean to hurt her feelings in any way. Let out that you didnt mean to do anything. However, make sure you say it lightly. Don't make it in an angry tone as in "I thought you would be happy for me". There are some people who are just like that. Maybe after you let out she'll probably apologize and things will be back to the way it was. Make sure you let out how you appreciated her hard work and how you're there to support her. Once you give her a caring hand, she will be nice back and regret being frustrated upon you.

I hope I helped and wish you the best of luck!

Answer 2

she's JEALOUS!

don't curb your ambition because of her

Answer 3

If  he doesn't support you totally, he is the problem. No way you should give up anything you accomplish in order to satisfy a mistaken ego. Unless he understands this you should consider a change. Your accomplishments will be for the rest of your life. If your boyfriend doesn't support you he shouldn't be in your life at all. Go for it. I would be proud if my daughter did what you are doing. Now learn to make wise life decisions.
