Hii everyone! . Okay so I hang out with a group of people, and one of these people I feel like is a fake friend even though she says she likes me as a friend. I think actions speak louder than words. When she is by herself with me, she will talk to me, but around others, it is like I don't exist. And she also complains how much she hates it when people do that to her. She also constantly asks me for money and even asks me to have some of my food, once she took half of it without permission although lately I kept her from doing that and no longer lend her money or food. I feel like I'm more of a back up friend or someone she just befriended out of pity. She befriended a couple other people out of pity since even though she can't stand them, she doesn't want confrontation or want to hurt feelings so she pretends to like them. I confronted her several times about it and even talked to a couple other people about it and they all say that there is nothing wrong and that she is a true friend and that it is probably just because of her ADHD, but I'm still not feeling right. Not sure if I am overreacting or not.

Hi 15. I don't see any reason to befriend anyone that I do not like. Granted in social situations it may be necessary to be nice to people you really don't care for, but friends NO.
I learned a long time ago that is someone is always asking me for something and showing me that they are not my friend it is best to move along. Like you said, Actions speak louder then words. __________________ People are like stained glass windows They sparkle and shine in the sun but when darkness hits their true beauty is revealed only when there is light within .

I agree with Macrick and Curley- this girl is not too be trusted- she reminds me of a former 'friend' of mine- was a real user and manipulator- long story short- it didn't end well- don't get too close and trust your instincts.

Hello 15LRC-
I think you are right-actions speak louder than words. And, to me, it is a red flag when people act differently when they are alone with me and when they are around others. I wonder who they really are-which one is the real version? You wrote that some people said they didn't see a problem with the person but it may be that you are just more aware of things, more attuned to the way people respond and the way they act. I strongly believe in paying attention to your inner instincts-those instincts are there to protect you. I agree with the other people on this thread-back away from this person. A true friendship should be give and take and it sounds like you are doing all the giving. I would follow your instincts. I wish you well. |

Yeah, exactly. I am starting to distance myself to her a bit.

I think the moment she tried grabbing my food away from me, is the point I'd either swatted her hand away from me, made some comment about back off, away from my food, or I'd stop associating.
Sounds rude, and inconsiderate. Sent from my LG-MS910 using Tapatalk 2 |
