She says I am self centered PDF Print E-mail
Written by Agony Aunt   
I have recently lost one of my best friends. It was a slightly awkward friendship considering she's 4 years older than me (i'm 14..nearly 15). I always thought she was a great friend and i always got the impression she thought the same of me. The other day i had a small sleepover with my friends for my birthday and i couldn't invite her for two reasons. 1 i had too many people already. and 2, my mum, previously when my friend came over, decided she was weird and didn't like her. so i got very paranoid and i didn't want anything awkward happening at my party.

She's decided now that I'm self centred, i only care for my problems, and i don't listen to anyone else. and apparently i have the mentality of an infant. I have spoken to my other friend about this, and she doesn't understand where she's coming from. Now she says she doesn't care for me anymore.

We have school in a couple of days and I don't know what to do when i next see her.

Is there anything I could do?

She was probably hurt not to be invited to your party, and is lashing out at you. Considering she's 4 yrs older than you, she's not being very mature about it. But some people are like that when they get hurt.

You should explain to her gently that yr mom didn't want you inviting more than a certain number of people to your party and that- due to the age difference- yr mom didn't want you to invite her for some reason.

Tell her yr sorry if she's hurt; you like her and want to continue the friendship. If she doesn't accept yr apology& continues to act weird and distant, it's time to forger her friendship and move on. You might be better off with friends yr own age- though the problem might be her personality rather than her age.

Give it a last try and if she won't let it go, let HER go.
