I have some probs with a friend and myself.Friends please help me,she always tries to put me down and i can't avoid meeting her because we have common friends and its not possible.I have a tendency of ignoring all her snide remarks and her know it all attitude and some how if i try to become friendly with someone she keeps following me so that I don't get too friendly with that person ,she always wants that i should not have any friends and even the closest friends that i have she tries to act in front of other people that my close friends are actually closer to her and she is i don't know why trying to compete with me or something.
I don't want any competition,she criticizes everything I do and makes fun of it,even if it is my cooking(I am very good at cooking and amongst my circle of friends i am known to be good at cooking) or anything i talk.
She gets to me so much that I only keep fuming about her and thinking as to how to give her properly the next time,but when the next time comes up she frustrates me even more and I don't tell her anything back.
I am in U.S and i am scared of driving she learnt it and now ridicules me at every point about it.I am still not very confident about learning it.

I don't know what to do.I don't know where my confidence has gone.When I enter a party I have an irritated look on my face and then her husband and herself start acting nicely and try to win me over ,after I am relaxed she starts her nonsense.
Please help. Silver replied. Komal ,f u let them ride on you ...not only this friend but soon some others join her way.So, dear.Just dont give her a chance to ride on u.
U cant believe but it's true that she is feeling inferior to u so she herself want to cover that feeling by letting u feel lower.
So IGNORING is a best option u have!

I faced a similar situation and now she is out of my way.I ignored like anything now she realised she miss me and start falling brhind me. But I dont want to give her another chance .
Because I know its her nature to nag firends (if we get closer)

That lady used to give me suggestions in dressing( Any other friend or relative thinks my selection is best).But out of her inferiority complex in certain thongs ,she just would like to let me know that she is not that less one. To show that, she has only one way ...that is to lower me and making me feel inferior.
But,, soon I realised it and stopped talking to her and started ignoring.Then it made me feel good. And now she cannot even think of giving unnecessary lectures.

So, komal dear! Be careful and avoid her as much u can .So that u can be peaceful.
After some period, they r none to ur life and then u realise how silly it is to think of that kinda persons and u'll know how u r loosing ur precious peace of mind.So, just wake up and start ignoring her. It's not that hard to implement. U'll n'joy those fruits!!

Take care, I could see it from ur shoes because it was my story previously. But now I'm confident because I'm learnt to deal wiht those type of friends. Those shdnt be called as friends.They dont deserve that title.

All the best and I hope u'll be blessed with a cute baby very sooner. a replied. just ignore them and their comments. sooner or later they'll get the point. if they interrupt, just say -- \";i'm sorry. did you have something to say. I've in middle of a sentence.\";

good luck...
