When your best friend becomes your worst enemy

by Shaelyn Malloy

Created on: July 05, 2010   Last Updated: July 06, 2010

It will start off as the friend looks amazingly, friendly. She seems kindhearted, understanding and she's a girl you use to know in school. However, there's probably many flaws about her behavior, but you won't notice, until you let her become closer to you. She lost all interest in your problems, doesn't care what happens, copies what you say so it looks like she's listening, so on and so forth.  She might not care if you have over hundreds of situations that bothers you constantly. She can't respond to any of your statement, because literally she wish for you to shut your mouth. A real friend will tell you if you are complaining too much and how to deal with that without looking rude. A real friend will actually say "well sorry to hear, but I wish I can help you." She doesn't ignore you, or act like you're talking to the wall. However, you're probably wondering how all of that begins. The word is none other than..."jealousy."

Jealous is what makes a friendship we use to know burn in the flames of fire. Here's one amazing way we can figure out if our friends are truly the enemy we come to know. Number one, she's very excited to see other friends and then tells you how fake she was with them because she hates them. Here's the point. If her friends are so bad, why does she have to pretend to be that "nice"? Obviously we know the answer here. If you hate someone, why do you have to act excited when seeing them. If I don't like a person, I am not going to go out of my way to jump up and hug the person. It's more like a  "Hello, how are you? I am busy, nice seeing you. Goodbye..." -Just to friendly. If she's miss popular in school and gets along with almost everyone in school, but somehow she gossips about some of them, she's probably using them as much as she is using you. You know what they say about school. "A happy environment brings happy grades." Total bull.

Here's a list of things to know if you have a jealous friend. If she looks at your outfit constantly and doesn't say a word within 2 or 3 hours later. She gives you the nastiest look. She wants you to spend your money instead of saving your money. I have friends who puts common sense in my head to save money. Unlike this special friend of mine, she wants me to buy useless garbage. So obviously, we sorta got the point here.

She becomes the biggest liar. I cannot stand liars. She lies about almost everything just so she can get you jealous. For example, "Hey, I know how to make you a singer."
