h1 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I have a 'friend' who I have known for little more than a year. Aside from talking too much,she loves to talk aloud about my private life in front of complete strangers. She seems to lack tact and sensitivity; She knows about a few traumatising events in my life and from time to time she loves to bring these up and will not fail to reiterate these events over and over again. I feel like she is taking a knife and stabbing me repeatedly with it. Right now, I think she is one hell of a spiteful b***ch and am beginning to wonder if she really is a friend at all. One other thing to note is that she will reveal each of her friend's private life to all her other friends so that everyone seems to have an 'updated' briefing on one another.. I am incredibly resentful and would like some objective advice. Many thanks!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Pocky Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Tell her about your issue and if she doesn't stop then stop being friends with her. Link to post Share on other sites
LucreziaBorgia Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Why are you friends with this person? I am hearing no reason to stay friends, and every reason to cut this person off. Link to post Share on other sites
faux Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Definitely tell her how you feel; it is a good place to start. She will either understand and respect your point of view, or not, which will allow you to make a decision about your friendship accordingly. It does not matter if she does not think that what she does is no big deal, or if she does it to everyone else; you are the one who has a problem with it, and she ought to stop it if you tell her to.

MyGenie Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Feed her false information about your life and watch her spread it. When she does, contact all your other friends who have heard it and expose her for the big mouth you know she is. Link to post Share on other sites
Jadey Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 h1, Ok STOP telling her anything about your life. Thats the first thing you need to do. It sounds to me like she has blurted out personal things about you and other people many times. So i have to ask why do you continue to tell her things? I see no reason to stay "friends" with this girl. All i can see is she is spreading secrets about people for her own amusement and probably popuality. I say have a long hard think about why you want to be friends with this person. Wot does she make you feel? Wot does she do to make you happy? Wot does she do to help you? How would she help you in your future? I can bet you any money the answers to these questions are not pretty If you see sense and realise you dont want her "friendship" tell her straight! "you are not the kind of friend i need, i dont like how you spread things about my personal life" Soemthing like that and stay the fu*k away from here. Avoid her. If for some reason you want to stay friends then just try and not tell her anything. I also dont reccomend spreading anything about her to make yourself feel better cos that scooping down to her level and if people find out they will think youre just as silly. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites
slubberdegullion Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Obviously this person cannot be trusted with your confidential information. So, either shaddap around her, or drop her. (I must admit, though, I really like MyGenie's advice about false information.) Link to post Share on other sites
