Omgsh!!, I'm soo much more cooler than you!! Options

One of my bestfriends, we can call her Lily, acts like she's so much more better than me just because she has a lot of sophomor friends (we're freshman) and because she's in band. She'll like rub it in my face in a way so that it still makes her seem nice. Like today, she was telling like everyone that she loved Penelope (made up name of course). Penelope is a pretty and popular sophomor and she was kind of trying to rub it in my face that she was more popular than I am. She'll also always be like "Band Geek Pride Yo!" Sometimes she'll ditch her friends to hang out with her sophomor friends and tell me something they did that day that she thought was "cool". More like something she thinks will make me feel nothing compaired to her. I'm not the only one who feels like this either..

I don't think I've done anything wrong for her to treat me like this.. I've been a good friend. I listened to her whenever she needed to talk to me and tried to be there for her when she needed me, I've told her secrets like a best friend should, kept her secrets and I've haven't like.. Talked behind her back or anything.

So.. What should I do about her? I don't want to confront her because I don't want her to get mad at me and for us to not be friends anymore. My mom gives her a ride home sometimes and I don't want it to be all awkward when we're taking her home.

Thanks for reading and taking time to reply.

There's a certain point many people reach in which they feel a need to assert their "coolness". This is often due to an insecurity on their part, or at least a need to feel like they fit in. Often, they assert their coolness by emphasizing their association with a particular group of people whom they deem to be "cool".

Your best bet is to not let it bother you. If your friend finds that you are not impressed by her "coolness", she is not likely to continue trying to assert that coolness.

tell her, maybe she'll change her attitude, and if not...well thats lame.

wow u know i have a friend JUST like that...strange!

[xmkaex]

yeah..i've noticed that there a alot of people out there like that...
they seem to ditch you because they have other "friends" or "people" to hang out with
it makes me feel like a "backup friend" when it happens to me
then when they don't have anyone to hang out with they start hang out with you...

simular thing happened to me.
i simply ignore it
i feel resentment
but i just try to ignore the whole situation
i dont talk unless i have to
i dont help them unless it concerns my well being
hang with different people

[misoshiru]

time to find a new friend.

[_sarcastic_]

she's definately not worth being friends with, try hanging out with new people.

Lol, that's a basic description of most of my friends.

Well.. I don't really hang out with her much anymore. I do have other friends that I hang out with rather than her. But we've been best friends since 7th grade. We drifted apart a bit during 8th grade but we're still best friends. Thanks for your responces. I'll try to ignore it.
