Well, hello guys. I haven't made one of these in a looonngg time, so I decided to. And there is a little something that's been bothering me for quite a while, now.
Well, its narcissism. And I don't mean Waffle King. He's fine.
But when you have a friend who's very self-centered, doesn't it bother you? Because I know it bothers me. I don't like it and I never have. I have a "best friend" who's a narcissist, and let me tell you, it's really hard. I can't tell her that I don't like how she is, because she'll just get highly offended. And when she fishes for compliments, it annoys me so much.
We've been friends for five years, it's not like I can just drop her on the side of the road. We still have great times. But she's always showing off her body, and she compliments herself all the time. I never give her what I want and say "Yeah, you're prettier than me." That's what they want. They want someone to agree with them.
I mean, come on. Because if you like the way you look that much, than you should go and love yourself. (I'm sorry I had to do that, I honestly dislike Justin Beiber's music, but for her, that quote's true.)
I mean, sometimes I think I look good, once in a while. But I don't freaking say it out loud. Keep your self-centered thoughts to yourself. But she can't do that. She has to freaking clarify it.
She also makes me stand outside in the freaking rain when it's 55 degrees so she can see her crush. I tell her over and over again that he's not coming outside, but she just doesn't listen. Because all she cares about is herself and her problems.
And she's apparently my best friend.
I'm sorry, but best friends actually listen to what you have to say. Once I told her that I cried over a guy. She kinda rolled her eyes and said, "it's just a guy."
I'm sorry that you guys have to listen to this, because I obviously can't do anything to change narcissists.
But surely I'm not the only one that feels that way.
This sounds like one of my best friends, but with less narcissism and more of him being high and mighty. If there is someone who displeases him then he hates them to no end, if they get along then they are as close as family! There is just no middle ground with him, no acquaintances, nor any 'normal' friends that you'd talk to occasionally.
"We've been friends for five years, it's not like I can just drop her on the side of the road."
Yes you can. If you don't like her and you're uncomfortable being friends with her, you have no obligation to be her friend.
