I forgot to say that she is very intelligent and always uses these $5 words, over achiever type, bragged about teh money she used to make....etc. I think this is why she could never even think that someone could not like her. She always tries so hard to please and befriend people. She always overtips and remembers names and is overly wittly. Well everything she does is overkill. Her father died really young, so I am sure this has formed her dependency on her mother and others she "blesses" with her friendship. Another trait is that she is never wrong about anything; which we all know is annoying. I was even thinking of all the great friends in town I have. I figured I meet them once every two months; split that among 9 friends and it is ok, but she wants to monopalize my time and acts put off if I go out with other friends. thank you all so much for giving this issue time and for responding. It is great to read other views. I really appreciate the sounding board and advice you all give. <<<<<THANKS>>>>>
