    Default How do you deal with a Cocky Friend ?

    Do you have friends like this, how do you handle them ? How is your relationship with them if you decided to change it? What outcome seems to be the best one for friends such as these?

    Sounds like you neither like this girl not have much in common. Why are you still friends with her?

    Tell her flat out! "Summer, I am SO glad you are happy with your new Coach purse, but I'm feeling kind of shitty right now because I couldn't make rent - could you tone it down a little?"

    i know tons of girls who carry around thousand dollar bags yet cant make their rent and barely made their car payment on their luxury car. she does this to make up for something she is lacking. trust me, only insecure people do things like that. therefore, i wouldnt even worry about it.

    Pretty much the exact same thing happened to my ex-best friend after she started dancing except instead of "i spent $750 on this bag" it was "I just spent $1200 on blow". . Some people just cannot handle this line of work and i really reget introducing her to it. She had a sugar daddy and they had a...questionable... arrangement at best. Always coming home wasted from seeing him, or dayshift, then doing blow to sober up, appartment was a mess, I almost called the humane society on her because she just up and left for 4 days with her cat locked in a crate...traaaaainwreck. This one time she came home suuuuper drunk and said she blew her sugar daddy. And had a bf the whole time.

    You should try to talk to your friend though, she might not notice she's undergone all these changes. If you can get some of your other mutual friends to back you up the point, it might sink in faster. Be prepared that she will turn all the blame on you though, saying you're jealous, etc. If talking to her doesn't work, dump her, it's not worth keeping friends around who don't give a fuck, and being around her will only be a bad influence on you if she doesn't get her act together.

    I should add that my friend ^ drove me so crazy that when her cat destroyed some of my stuff and she wouldn't replace it, I just went bananas, the police got involved...this girl literally drove me INSANE. don't let that happen to you, either talk to her or dump her before that happens, gooood luck!

    Cocky people need others around them that are not doing so great. If she had wealthy friends they would laugh at her ass for talking about such non important shit. Do yourself a favor and just ignore her for a while. She needs to broadcast to someone so put her ass on mute.

    Don't forget about that killer sense of humor of yours. Was gonna make a Yoda reference, but I'm tired and need to go to bed.

    I have a friend just like that! She's just awful! The only reason I stay so close to her is because we work so well together and I trust her when traveling. I mean we work really good together when we do get the chance to work together. We are great at tag teaming groups of men and we do a lot of two girl stuff.

    If it weren't for working together, I might not hangout with her anymore.

    We went shopping a few weeks ago and right now I'm not working due to a medication I'm on. I'm not broke but I when I'm not bringing in money that means I don't spend any. So she bought a nice pair of shoes and whatever else and just babbled on about how she always has to have nice shoes and BLAH BLAH BLAH. She's like that all the time. Talks about how great everything she has is. Know why I'm not jealous? She's lives with her mom and always ends up broke because of her spending. She doesn't work fulltime. She just travels here and there to different clubs, makes some money, spends it on shit, and then goes back to work after she doesn't have a dollar to her name. She always talks about how she always has money even though I was roommates with her when she was a broke bitch just like myself back then.

    Guess what? Most of the girls I work with do that crap. Know what else? Those same girls are asking me for a ride home after work because they can't afford to fix their car and most of them live in trailers in bad neighborhoods because they can hardly afford rent.

    I'm okay with not having a $750 purse. I prefer to invest in retirement, savings, and memories. I'll never remember some silly purse I had in my early twenties. I will look back and be thankful I'm not living off a pitiful social security check (if it even still exists by the time most of us retire) because I made responsible financial decisions.

    Who needs friends like that? There must be something positive about this person your friends with or you wouldn't bother anymore. I honestly wouldn't be friends with my friend if we didn't work so well together. Most of the time outside of work I just ignore it because I love my life more than I would love living her life.
