Friend trouble?

Asked by hertaru (39points) January 5th, 2009 from iPhone

well me and my bff like the the same girl but I’m way better friends with but that’s not the real problem it’s that he told my friend he is real jeolous of me and resents me. And he says crap behind my back and is mean to me and I have like 50 friends he has like 10 and I’m real nice to him

Sounds like he doesn’t know how to be a friend. Either teach him or drop him because he is not treating you right.

True friends stab you in the front not insult you from the back; he’s a textbook case of a fraud. If he is considered to be you “best friend” you two should confront each other and settle your differences.

the thing is he doesn’t know I know he is jeolous and
All that I shuldnt know but my other friend is faithfull and told me

Triozoo's avatar

a) your assuming he is jealous
b) rumors can be either faulty or exaggerated

If you want to know the truth ask him in person, him being your best friend, and straighten out the problem.

well how so I confront him cause 1 time he did say something about me being popular And him not But how should I go about this ?

Triozoo's avatar

What does popularity have to do with the current situation? The main purpose of this question was based on the likings of the same person, correct?
Perhaps he was just angry about the problem and made ways to show it verbally?

“Hey insert name we need to talk, I’m not sure if you’re aware of this or not but insert female name is tearing us apart. You’re my best friend I don’t want to lose this friendship over a single girl” etc.

The rest of the text ..comes from your heart lol I’m just a spark, you have to finish the fire.

Friend

_friend
   /frɛnd/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [frend] Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.
2. a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter: friends of the Boston Symphony.
3. a person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile: Who goes there? Friend or foe?
4. a member of the same nation, party, etc.

I am not seeing your description in the above. People who use or abuse others are
not worth confronting.

My advice- Rise above and live well- without this person in your life.

actually I don’t think the girl is the main part the problem goes deeper he is mad cause I became popular and he didn’t and he resents me and is going behind my back and I don’t know how to deal with him I’ve been nice to him he’s been mean to me and I’m tired of it

hertaru's avatar

dog your right I’m thinking of dropping him temperraely or for good but it will be hard

Quote above: @hertaru
If you’ve been “nice” to him and the opposite is returned why bother to put up with it? Which brings up another question… what made him your best friend in the first place? -as listed above.

well last year he was nice we had fun I could trust in him we looked out for Each other and now he is mean and talks behind my back and I’m tired of it he still says I’m his best friend but I don’t think so I’m starting to think I would take this girl over him cause right now he’s mean I don’t know y he changed but I think it’s cause he jeoulous

I had this same problem happen to me with one of my friends, whom I thought was one of my best trusting ones. I was very saddened when I learned she had these negative feelings towards me, but more so, when she told me herself. In the end, I tried to kiss her ass, because I didn’t like thinking that I was losing a good friend, but in the end, I realized she wasn’t a friend. And even though I was still in denial afterwards, when we tried to work out our ’‘rocky time’, I still felt she wasn’t genuine in her friendship and that she still had a sort of resentment towards me. I may sometimes still see her today, but of course we parted.. and I still care about her very much and wish the best for her, but I couldn’t keep giving of my time and friendshop, when they weren’t making an effort.

Losing a friend is almost as bad as a breakup, probably even more horrible in some cases, but you will meet better people, better friends. Good luck! :)

I just don’t know how to drop them I don’t wanna and it will be hard

millastrellas's avatar

Are they someone that you see and talk to everyday? If so, then I can totally understand how it can be hard. But if not, then take it a day at a time. If they don’t call, dont bother. I am not saying to totally block them from your life, that is not good either, or at least it wouldn’t be something I could do. You can call everynow and then to see how things are, but I would just say, learn to see and accept them as they really are. It is always hard to bring people down from your high pedestal, but it is has been done, and things will be ok.

hertaru's avatar

well I go to school with them every day and I dunno how to do this I may temporarly and c if they try to come back if not then they gone p

millastrellas's avatar

Let me know how things go. :)

But what if that girl is lying? Hearsay evidence isn’t good enough. Check her story with him before you give up on him. If he wants to be nasty, then you can see it up front, tell him to stop it because you don’t want to have a problem in the friendship, and say bye bye
if he still wants to be not-a-friend. You need to know, not guess. This was your friend not too long ago.
Be honest.

dude, just drop him. People who talk about you behind your back aren’t friends. I know this because I just dropped a “friend” for that. “Friends” who talk about you behind your back have a different name, they’re called douches. Think about it simply, do you want to be friends with a douche. (DON’T THINK ABOUT HOW HE’LL FEEL.) How do YOU feel about it?
