Help pleaseeeeeeeeee?

I have a huge problem, my best friend is really really sensitive, and she cares a lot about what people think about her. She's always asking me how she looks and stuff like that, I've gotten used to her ways but it rubs off on other people, and most people think she's a stuck up, rude, snobby, bitch. Well, she doesn't know this, but I do. Last summer, at this soccer camp we both went to, I was talking to one of my friends, and she said "Do you like *Sarah*? (not the actual name of my friend) Well, I don't. I think she's a rude snobby bitch, who always rubs it in other people's faces how rich she is and what kind of awesome clothes she buys. (Which she does, I hate to admit. She brags about a $200 Calvin Klein dress she got from her mom and how she shops at Ralph Lauren, and stuff like that). One day I was over at her house, and she asked me if I knew anyone that didn't like her (I was about to say, about the whole school! Which is true, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings.) so, I said no. I feel bad about lying to my friend, but I just couldn't bring myself to say it, which I knew would make her depressed all over again (she's been depressed a few times and it's not very cool, she's sometimes suicidal.) Should I tell her what my friend said about her or just hold it in? :/

  1. Why are you friends with her? You just said you didn't like her?
  2. Just hold it in. It will make her feel bad. You have to tell her not to care on how she looks, what people look for is your personality, not your looks in my school =]
  3. Some things are best left unsaid. =) But you could help her in some "unspoken" ways like making random comments about how it irks you when people brag about how much their possessions are, and how it's so tacky, and that most people don't like that. Just make it seem like you are talking about someone else. If she's paying attention, she'll begin to apply that wisdom to herself. Good luck!
  4. The next time she ask you, in a joking way tell not to be so worried about and to loosen up a little. No one is going to care if your hair is out of place.
  5. i think you should tell her subtly or just tell her as long as i mean she still has you as a friend she should be alright and hopefully change her demeanor a little bit. but if you truly think she would get suicidal over the whole deal thats a different story and she has some underlying issues she needs help with too....and if thats the case try to get to know her better and find out what shes trying to cover up with all the expensive clothing and snobby attitude........
  6. don't tell her . she only talks about everything he has because it makes her feel good about her self. it might keep her out of depression.
  7. don't tell her s@#^. leave her just how she is. some people might take it as constructive criticism, but i wouldn't test those waters if i were you. maybe you should hint to her on your own time she should eat some humble pie.
  8. i was gonna say just tell her that many people hate her...but if shes suicidal...than no. But you should tell her in a soft way and tell her how to get people to like her. Thats the best way.Just make sure your nice about it
  9. Your friend isn't sensitive, she is insecure. Try to get her to see that people don't want to hear about how much a dress cost, that it doesn't matter who made it. You should never tell someone that they are disliked but you could have a talk with her and explain to her that when she acts a certain way it turns people away. Then encourage her to be more friendly, that no matter what she wears or says or does, all that matters is that she is a good person. Good Luck!
  10. It would probably be better if you didn't tell her but you could give her a hint about it by saying that about someone else that's like that and she might say ya i think "Sarah" is kind of like that.
  11. tell her because if you didnt tell her that would hurt her more. if your really her friend then you would tell her. if i was you i would feel so guilty about it if i didnt tell
  12. I think you need to have a sit down with your friend. Tell her the truth about herself, otherwise she will continue in this self-destructive path. Also, keep being friends with her, for she will need someone to help her change. It will be tough for her; nevertheless, if you don't do it now she could seriously have a messed up life ahead of her. Don't tell her about what your friend said just talk to her in general, and point things out. This will be a slow process, but if you are patient with her she will be ok. I hope this helps.
  13. well, i would not tell her the total truth just let her know that sometime she come off as a snob try to point her to a Better direction like when she tell how much her mom spends on her cloths she the money is not importing its the though that counts at least her mom spend Money on her some mom are too busy to to thing for there children
  14. What a dilema! Next time your friend starts to talk about other friends, tell her to go straight to that friend and tell her herself or stop talking poo. I think you should be semi-honest with your material girl. Let her know that no one really says bad stuff about her..perhaps you've heard a rumor or two in the locker room about how other people might think she is stuck up because she likes to name drop. Since they are both your friends you want to be loyal to both and it sucks that you have some friends that would stab others in the back. I would watch what you say around them, they might be talking about you too.
  15. tell her tact a little less mean to others and stop bragging but do it gently you dont want to get her upset
  16. if you guys are really good friends you should be able to tell her anything. and make sure her parents know she had been suicidal that is a huge deal! and if everyone thinks she a brat just kindly let her know she brags about everything she has, try this- next time she brags just say, that is cool but do not start telling everyone that they might get annoyed if you brag about everything you have.
  17. just tell her u like her and get her but sumtimes she brags a little to much and make other ppl feel like they rn't good enuf to b friends with her
  18. ow.. datz kinda of bad situation ur having.. i advise you to tell her but at the same time advise her not to be sterssed up. do'n bring it up too early, it might creat friction.. juz relax and slow down.. or start out like this " hey gurl.. i wanna say somthing, it's kinda gonna hurt you but u have to know watz goin on, but, wat ever hapens, do remember that i'm still here for you no matter wat.. (juz try to catch her confidence her first) . then u say wat ever that needs to be said. After that.. give a big hug! GOOD LUCK
  19. If she is your best friend she will understand. Just tell her nicely that people thing she is stuck up because she flashes everyhting she has. tell her to be proud and not to make evryone jelious.
  20. At first I was thinking... just be honest with her until I read that she suffers from depression, and suicidal thoughts. You see, I had a nephew on my husbands side of the family that killed himself at sixteen feeling that he didn't have any friends. You wouldn't beleive how many people his age attended his funeral. It was to late for him, but a good lesson for others concerning how to treat people. Please, please have a talk with her parents. She needs professional help. Then have an honest talk with those that are talking behind her back.
  21. why dont you tell her this ?? c...the first thing before making any friend is to be truthful....i know this might i mean will hurt her feelings....but thats what the fact is or try something, tell her not to be so proud or lets say "obsessed" with herself !! tell her in an indirect way like.... tell her this... do your usual talk....then try this "hey....u know something ? i hate people who soo like themselves....hope u understand what i mean...like....people shouldn't think that they are the only one in this world...instead they should think what people might be thinking about you..." "like lets take an example of our school...." tell any girl's name...."u know what ? this *sarah*, i just soo hate her....she thinks she is hot....but tell me soo bad things about her that even i dont like...so see... u should never feel proud of yourself let others do that..." or try explaining her what ppl actually think !! tell her the do's and dont's....in a polite manner as a friend...!! thats the only advice i can give u anyway, best of luck have fun take care
  22. If she's so worried about people not liking her she needs to know, if she doesn't it will only get worse but if she does maybe she can make a change. I don't like braggers either because its a cover up of low self-esteem those people aren't really happy with who they are. But before she becomes an outcast inform her the next time the topic appears but tell her 'People don't like when you do that, they're starting to look down on you.' If she ask what you mean give her examples but not the one with she's a bitch in it but just that others don't like that.
  23. Please, tell her. Too many times I've seen people broken down, relationships torn apart, not to mention the anger and feeling of betrayal among friends. I think, she just is insecure. I mean, my best friend is kinda like that too. He was a nerd, not to mention short, and he wants some a$$, so he started working out. He always asks me," hey, are my muscles good enough?" stuff like that. And, he started to get buff, and started showing off, and people didn't really like it. Me neither, truth be told. Someone suggested I tell him. And I did. It wasn't as bad as I imagined it to be. Basically: Just be really gentle, careful what you say, make sure you make it clear you're on her side, and tell her that she is good-looking always, but lay low on the bragging bit, because people don't like it. But tell her people might start relaxing knowing she isn't that snob they thought she was... hope it helps!
  24. A real friend would tell her the truth. I am sure she feels like people don't like her.That's why she asked you if you heard or knew anything. Your in a difficult situation but the best thing to do is give her support and tell her of the things that make her not likable. Bragging is not a good quality, you can be proud of the items you can afford with out making others feel bad. Does her family know that she has been suicidal? That is something you can't keep to yourself. It might hurt her for you to tell the truth but the truth hurts and in the long run you are helping her. Good luck and hope all ends well.
