Deal With a Best Friend Stealer
Have you ever been faced with the problem of dealing with a friend stealer? Yes? Well, what if that friend stealer was your best friend? It does get pretty frustrating, and you just can't give up your best friend even though people that give you advice to do so say so.
Steps
- Figure out exactly what it is you find annoying about these two people hanging out together then work on fixing that problem.
- They are talking about their weekend to you politely, as a gesture of friendship, tell them about your weekend. Try to make it funny; the best way to take back a friend is to be funny around them.
- Start to block the friend stealer out of conversations. Just stand in front of them before they start speaking.
- Just keep blocking the friend stealer out of conversations, and start to try to be the best friend you possibly can be towards your best friend.
- If this still happens for a while, try being friends' with the person who steals your friend, you'd be surprised what good could happen, you three could be best friends, but most of the time one of them gets left out so that could be a problem!
- Make sure that you are there for your friend more than the thief is.
- Tell your friend how you feel about the thief. She might get angry but keep reminding her over and over and keep telling her that the thief is bothering you.
- Invite her over. The thief will get angry about all the jokes that she got left out on and get left out. Your best friend will be attached to you for about two weeks and then things might get a little rough.
- Get some other friends. Have back up friends in case. If she ever stops being your friend you will have a back-up friend that you will immediately go to and might make your best friend jealous.
- Ask your best friend help on ways that she can stop being so best friends with the other girl.
- To tell you the truth you can't really trust your BFF until this is over because you can't trust someone that puts stress on you or mad you upset. But also TRY to still be friends with her. If you take the time to compliment her on a lot of stuff and be nice as much as possible to her. Don't make her angry. You might regret it later... But anyway compliment her and take time to spend as much time as possible with her.
Tips
- Stay away from spreading rumors. It's the lowest trick in the book, and will do nothing to get your friendship back.
- Just be yourself in front of your best friend, and if she doesn't like it get a new best friend.
