Get lost, politely.

It’s a bit sad that her ‘one friend’ can’t stand her. Maybe you’ll end up liking her once her ‘new girl nerves’ calm down and she has her own group. Otherwise, just distance yourself. You don’t have to hang out with anyone, if you don’t enjoy her company you are responsible for moving on.

Why did you hang out with her to be nice only to dump her later on? What’s so annoying about her?

She seems to something nice in you, and wants to be your friend. Have you never been a new person in a new situation? Introduce her to other people, outside your group of friends.

You could explain that your friends are shallow, and say mean things about her behind her back…

Why don’t you try talking to her as a friend instead of having a pity party for her to make yourself feel good?
Good people are hard to come by and I am guessing that you are to young to realize that but I could be wrong, I have been before and will be again I am sure of it.
Be human, don’t just tell her to get lost. Some people leave high school all shades of fucked up because people were complete and total jerks to them.

Scottish people are known to say F… Off while smiling nicely.
Even then some people just don’t understand…

I give you credit for hanging out with her even though no one else will. I know it’s hard to do something your friends don’t think is cool. Some people are extremely annoying. Tell her honestly that she annoys everyone. Help her to see why people don’t like her. I doubt people hate her just because she is new. I just hope your friends choose not to like her because of her attitude and personality, not because she doesn’t have the right clothes or hairstyle. No matter what the reason, it’s not fair or healthy for her to be so attatched to you.

Listen woman you need to calm the F down or your gonna have no friends soon. Then let it set in and talk about it.

i would also like to know what’s so annoying about her…

omghannahyay's avatar

for one; she doesnt think before she says anything..she acts ditzy i think on purpose;
for two; shes is really concieted. every day she asks me how “bomb” does she look
for three; she is constantly stuffing hot cheeto puffs in her mouth
for four; she doesnt call me by my name; she snaps as a way of calling me
and five; when i hangout with my friends she always starts crying because she says im a “ditcher” when clearly i wasnt hanging out with her in the first place

AlfredaPrufrock's avatar

Then I suggest you tell her exactly just what you told us. Those are all extremely valid reasons for asking her to look elsewhere for friends. #4 alone is reason enough. Followed by 2, 1, 5, and 3.

Sorry if I was snappy earlier.

nebule's avatar

I totally agree with Alfreda… this “friend” doesn’t sound like there is any need for you to be subtle… infact subtlety probably won’t work. I would just tell it how it is… with humility yet authority of course. Good luck x

Eating Cheetos is not ever going to be a valid reason for losing a friendship. Your other reasons, whether or not I agree with them may be valid to you. Having a problem with her choice of snack food is just juvenile.

AlfredaPrufrock's avatar

@asmonet, but hot Cheeto puffs leaves you with orange stained fingers, dragon breath, and little orange crumbs all over your clothes.

—I think there’s a point where Cheetos become a guilty pleasure that you don’t really admit to eating. Eating Cheetos in excess around other people is perhaps a little middle schoolish. It’s not the most valid of reasons to not hang out with someone. However, if that person doesn’t use your name but snaps their fingers to get your attention, as if you were a dog, that alone is reason enough to abandon the person to the Fates.—

These annoying behaviors that she is exhibiting, scream of insecurity. She’s doing what she can to cope. That doesn’t mean you have to put up with poor behavior – the snapping has to go, immediately! It’s just rude.

Have you actually talked to her about all of this? Have you explained how off-putting her behavior is? What about talking to her and telling her to chill. Maybe tell her that you are having a hard time being around her, because she’s too over the top, for you.

I’ve been the new girl – I was the new girl – 13 times, growing up. It’s not easy, but I was never the over-the-top, new girl. I was the hide in the shadows, new girl. I’ll just say, it sucked – big time!

Before you write her off, completely, try again – but be honest. Also, talk to your friends and tell them what you are thinking or dare I say, ask them if they can help.

Either way, if you decide not to go further, be kind about it, though. Don’t hurt her in the process.

@AlfredaPrufrock: I was just pointing out that I think it’s a seriously asshole move to dump a friend over Cheetos or even to include it in your list of reasons for doing so. As I said, her other issues may be valid to her, others, or even myself but that one stuck out as being particularly offensive to my values.

AlfredaPrufrock's avatar

@asmonet, I know. I thought it was, too, at first. But after thinking about it, I really think it come of the heading of “the last straw.” That sort of half-hysterical addition to a list of woes that know really isn’t valid, but really does annoy the heck out of you.

When you’re a 16–17 year old girl, you’re usually past stuffing Cheetos in your face, or anything else, at least out in public. It’s kinda up there with 16 year old girls holding belching contests, showing food when they eat, and laughing too loud when you pass gas. It may be okay at field hockey practice, but not really in public at large. @omghannahyay looks relatively stylish from her picture.

I would think insecurity, except for the snapping fingers thing. I’m having trouble getting past that. That takes a lot of chutzpah.

asmonet's avatar

@AlfredaPrufrock: I agree about everything, but the way the poster wrote the question just made me think she was taking everything, whether or not it needed to be, too seriously. And the Cheetos thing gave me the impression she was not thinking and being kind of mean girl elitist about everything. The other points I can agree with. The snapping in particular has to go.
