What would you do?

Post Reply New Topic

What would you do if you had a friend, one of only a few left, that you used to go out with, always has pops at you because you always fancied her best friend, not her? What if she continuously took advantage of you by manipulating social situations because she knows that you are clueless with what is going on? What if she's constantly trying to get something out of you, even when she's probably going to get engaged soon? What if she said to you something about her dying and you never having spoke to her?

Any opinions welcomed.

I don't think I could spend much time with someone so seemingly manipulative. People who unnecessarily complicate things seem selfish to me. And I simply do not have the disposition to deal with someone like that. I've had a tendency in my life to just stop engaging with people like that, even if they were my friend or closer and my life was better for it. I'd rather have no friends than ones like that.

Thank you very much. It has been going on for years now and it has taken me that long to work out what exactly has been going on. I just wondered if I was being too harsh in not giving her any more chances. Thanks.

Once, she invited me out because she wanted to try and make me feel bad that she has so much better a boyfriend than I was by making me meet him. Before I realised this, I was happily trying to share with her and others a story of me meeting a cute boy, as you do with friends, and she shouted, "You'll never get a boyfriend!!" That was really cruel.

I'd run for the hills, as fast as I can.

I am going to do that. Although, I have gone some way already as I don't talk to her at all.

If you know she manipulates you, she's bad at it.
Take a swing at her face.
