My friend is a people person and is very accessible. She is also very generous and accommodating. She is a nurturer and so, hates to see people suffering who are in need.


This is what you said about your friend. It's the reason you are friends with her in the first place. I think you need to accept that her friendship with FT is part of the package that makes her a great person. Certainly you will only harm your friendship with her by competing with FT for her attention because that's the opposite of who she is.

Your friend is an accepting person, so you need to get on board with that and not fight it. If FT is really bad, she'll eventually come around to that. Until that, get over it.

OP, if she's really your friend, she can't be stolen from you by some shallow striver. But maybe your old friend is basically shallow too--you say she basks in all the attention. Get some new friends, seriously. Your circle sounds vapid and unrewarding--the women are acting like elementary or middle school girls, honestly;what a complete waste of energy.

Well yes, that's the point. We're suppose to be too old for this, but there it is. Did you guys read the part about this being a rant. Sharing this with live people would be awfully juvenal. We all come here for a reason right? So you're telling me something I already know, so try again.


Now I'm guessing early 20's at best.. probably a teenager.

If you want I can let you know how it all plays out in case it might be helpful to you.

If this post is real, best thing to do is get involved with volunteer work or something productive that will help you gain perspective on your life.

Wait - this "FT" has no kids but shows up at all of your kid's events? How very strange. It's details like that that have me wondering if this post is for real because I have never known people like this in real life - perhaps on TV.
If this is real, then OP you just have to take a step back and nurture other friendships.

So, this is how the 1% live their lives day to day? I'm glad I have enough "real" problems in life to keep me grounded.

Seriously OP, you have way too much time on your hands!

"In pp's defense, the "Now" was clearly a typo, whereas OP misspelled juvenile the same way in multiple posts and is clearly not the brightest bulb in the chandelier."


Yes, I was actually sounding off that word in my head in another language and ended up committing to it.

Op, I beg you, please find a volunteer organization. And go spend a bunch of time there and find new friends.

FWIW, I'm someone who takes a very long time to make friends, and when I do make them, I don't like to let go of them. But the clock on some friendships runs out, and when that happens, there's nothing you can do, but say to yourself, it was fun while it lasted, feel sad for a little while, and then move on with your life.


Thanks pp. I know my situation is juvenal but a reality just the same.

For the love of God would you please stop misspelling the word JUVENILE. Now do you ever hope to climb that social ladder if you can't spell.


Um . . . that should be "How" instead of "Now." Also, you needed a question mark at the end of your sentence. Just sayin'.
