Flaunting Your Relationships

  1. Flaunt your other friendships. The number one way to make your friend jealous is to make him or her feel completely irrelevant to you. The easiest way to do this is to act like you have so many amazing friends who are such cool, Interesting people that you don't really have time for your old friend anyway. Here are some ways to make your friend feel like you have so many amazing friendships that you can't really bother with him or her:
    • When you're with the friend, talk about how amazing one of your other friends is. Talk about the other friend's great sense of style, humor, or her ability to be an amazing friend. Don't be too obvious about it -- just try to sneak this point into a conversation.

    • When another friend comes up to you, act all excited to see him or her by saying "Hi!" and giving the friend a big hug and generally turning into a chatterbox around the friend. When your old friend approaches you, don't ignore her, but just say "Hey" and act like it's no big deal that she's there. She will notice the difference.

    • You should always talk about the latest cool thing you did with your other friends without inviting your old friend to come along.

  2. Show your love for your significant other. One easy way to make your friend jealous is to make her see how amazing your relationship is. If your friend is single and really wants to date someone, then you should talk about what a great boyfriend or girlfriend you have, talk about the latest romantic thing he or she did for you, and brag about all of the fun weekend plans you have with your special someone.
    • When your friend calls, you can sound all excited when she picks up the phone. Then you can say, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were my boyfriend/girlfriend."

    • If you friend asks you to hang out, say you'll be doing one fun thing or another with your significant other, even if it's not true.

    • If your boyfriend or girlfriend gives you an amazing gift, don't be afraid to flaunt it to make your friend jealous.

  3. Talk about all of your amazing plans. Another way to make your friend jealous is to talk about all of the amazing plans you have coming up, whether it's a trip to the beach with a few of your girlfriends, or a weekend getaway with your beau. You can even talk about how you're counting down the days until you can do these things, or you can talk about how you're preparing to hang out with your friends or significant other. Just talk about how excited you are to do fun things with people other than your friend.
    • Act like it wouldn't even cross your mind to invite your friend along.

    • When you're done talking about your fun plans, your friend might try to counter with something equally cool that he or she is doing. If this happens, act like you're hardly paying attention.

  4. Spend a lot of time on your phone. If you want your friend to feel like you have too many great relationships to really spend time with her, then you can use your phone to drive the point home. When you're alone together, spend half the time texting other friends and laughing at their responses, or just giving the phone a sly smile every few minutes. Make it clear that talking to your friend is your last priority.
    • When your friend tries to get your attention, just keep saying, "Uh-uh," and make it clear that you're not really listening cause you care more about what your other friends, who aren't even there, have to say.

    • You can even answer the occasional phone call while your friend is right there.

    • Just remember that this behavior, while effective, will also be incredibly annoying.

  5. Show off your pets. If you have the cutest kitten or dog in the world, chances are that your friend is already jealous. You can make your friend even more jealous by showing her photos of your pet, posting photos of your pet on Facebook, or talking about how you don't know what you would do without your beloved pet at your side. This will be particularly effective if your friend has always wanted a pet.
    • If your friend is trying to tell you something important, keep changing the subject to something silly about your lovely pets.

Flaunting Your Attitude

  1. Make your friend marvel at your positive attitude. Even if you're feeling down in the dumps, you need to act positive as much as you can. Laugh easily, have a big smile on your face, and talk about the things that genuinely make you happy. This is not only good general life advice, but a great way to make your friend jealous. At the end of the day, what we all want the most is to be happy with our lives, and if your friend thinks that this comes so easily to you, he or she will get even more jealous.
    • Even if you have a small setback, just say, "I know I'll do great next time." Be relentlessly optimistic.
    • Talk about your favorite parts of school, sports, or any activities you're involved in, so your friend thinks you love every aspect of your life.
    • Talk about how excited you are for the future and talk about all of the things you want to do, whether it's to go to a great college, land an amazing job, or go kayaking in Hawaii. Your friend will be jealous that you have so much to look forward to.
  2. Never show weakness. Though you may be feeling weak or insecure, you can't let your friend see that side of you. You have to remain confident, keep your head up high, and act like you have life under control. If you need serious life advice, ask someone else for it. You don't want to do or say anything that would make your friend think, "So it looks like he/she isn't so perfect after all..."
    • Even if you're not feeling confident, having the right body language helps. Stand tall with your arms at your sides, your shoulders high, and take determined steps while looking ahead instead of at the ground.
    • If your friend reveals a weakness, you can try to help her out, but never try to comfort her by relating to her problems. You don't have problems, remember?
  3. Show off your ability to charm new people. Never look awkward or uncomfortable in a new social situation. Your friend should see that your attitude is to tackle any new social situation as an adventure, and that you're excited at the prospect of meeting new people, and therefore having new friends, that are even better than your current friend. Make it look like it's no big deal to make new friends, even if you're nervous on the inside.
    • When you're in a new social situation, ask people their names, ask them relevant questions that make them feel important, and talk about how much you'd love to hang out if it's going well, so your new friend will be jealous.
  4. Don't try so hard. Though bragging from time to time or finding a sly way to talk about your friends or significant other as much as you can will definitely be far from humble, you shouldn't make too much of an effort to make your friend jealous. If you're constantly talking about how amazing your life is, your friend will see that you're just trying to impress her. Instead, act like you're fine on your own, that everything is great, and that you don't really care what anyone, including your friend, thinks of you.
    • Sometimes, just letting your friend notice how lucky you are and how great your life is instead of pointing it out can be more effective.
    • Don't say, "Isn't that awesome?" or "Isn't that great?" after you talk about something in your life. Let your friend see that it is great.
  5. Get lots of attention from the opposite sex without trying. Your friend should think that you don't have any anxiety or nervousness when it comes to the opposite sex, and that you have a chill attitude that makes other people gravitate toward you. Don't talk about how nervous you are about meeting boys or how you never know what to say. Instead, talk about how cool it is to meet new guys or girls, or even act disinterested, like you couldn't possibly care about all of the attention you're getting.
    • And if your friend starts getting attention from the opposite sex? Act like you couldn't possibly care less.

Don't ever let your friend see you stressing out over what clothes to wear, what makeup to put on, or about how to wear your hair. You should figure all of that out before you see your friend, so what she sees is the final product, not the thought that you put into it.

If you get a perfect test grade, pretend to look surprised or say, "I barely studied for that."

    • If you get really good grades, you shouldn't talk about what an amazing student you are all the time. Let your friend hear it from someone else.
    • If you really want to be annoying, you can talk about how you really wanted an A in a class when all you got was an A-.
