I need some help. My friend is spending the night tonight and I feel really odd. She is being rude and a little unkind to me, but thats normal for her. I just feel like she's trying to hurt me or something. I mean, she's not talking to me and acting like I'm not worth her time. It's normal for her to act like this, but it hurts. I heard her laughing a minute ago (she was watching something funny) and I thought she was laughing at me, that she was making fun of me. I know I can over react sometimes, so I'm wondering if I'm just over reacting. I don't know what to do. She's my best friend, but I always feel hurt by her. I wonder sometimes if she is only trying to be my friend to get things from me. Like money, food, ect. I don't like thinking this stuff, but I always do.

I'm typing this right now, feeling like the whole world is trying to hurt me in some way. I feel so numb to everything happening around me. The only thing I really feel anymore is hurt. I feel like this is all a bad dream that I can't control.
Please help.

I know exactly where you're coming from... I know it all too well. I seem to be very prone to falling into bad relationships and friendships. And let me tell you something - she isn't worth your time, not the other way around. Why is she at your home if she isn't talking to you and is being so rude anyway? It is so hard to break away friendships, and maybe that's not what you have to do just yet. Try and set boundaries - or if she says something cocky or rude, defend yourself and let her know you don't like being talked down on and that you're sick of her behavior and that she should just get off of her thrown already. True friendships are not one sided. True friends respect each other and give and love. Not how you're describing it. Breaking away a friendship is so hard, but for the meanwhile, try and set boundaries and see if that gets you anywhere.

Good luck. Things will get better, I promise.

Thank you siljie,
She is at my house becuase I wanted to talk to her. I thought we could talk and have some fun, but she doesn't want to talk. She is my best friend and I can tell her anything, I feel like she is all I have left sometimes. I know it's not a good friendship, but I can't let her go. I'm afraid I'll be alone if she left me. I have tried to set boundaries, but she makes me feel stupid for doing so. I have tried to defend myself, but she always hits me. She is stronger than me, so I try not to fight back.
