My best and pretty much only friend I ever hang out with, generally, isn't too nice to me or other people. I've noticed a lot she doesn't really know how to communicate with others including strangers, classmates, friends, or neutral people. We will be talking to others in a group and completely ignore them while I'm trying to engage in a group discussion.

When we are alone I find it hard to talk to her. Just recently, we had a two hour or longer conversation that was very one sided and involved what she was watching. Sometimes the conversation changed but it was still about her no neutral ground. I also remember another time when I got a higher score on an assignment then her and she made up every excuse possible why I did better then her. She really couldn't handle it because she always does better then me and she's very proud of that.

There are times when I get enjoyment out of your friendship but its very rare. I don't know what to do.

It may be something she learned in childhood. Sometimes when people have harsh or overly critical parents, the children tend to mimic that. They set high standards for themselves, constantly compete with other people and feel bad about themselves why they didn't do as good as someone else.

My advice it to try and talk to her about her actions and how it affects you. If she is being mean it may be unintentionals and something that is a norm for her family but hurtful to you.
