    i know a girl like this too. people like her are insecure and feel by putting other people down it will make them look/feel good. tell her to jog on and maybe take a long hard look in the mirror before making nasty comments.

    i've tried sooo many tactics with this girl... NOTHING seems to work. I really need to just cut ties. I'm not the one missing out... Just need to remind myself of that.

    Are you able to tell her face to face that you no longer want anything to do with her? I suspect this could be quite difficult, given how contrary she seems to be; perhaps it would end up with her being even more nasty, and you walking away, feeling like the villain of the piece. So maybe an email, where you could clearly explain how you feel and why you don't want her in your life any more? I realise it sounds a tad cowardly but honestly, do whatever it takes! You might also want to block her email address so any spite which comes back, goes straight into the junkmail filter!

    Good luck with it, however you decide to do it... and do try to remain calm and rise above her pettiness. If you sink to her level, you'll just end up feeling bad about it, and she'll still have a foothold. :grumble:

    (Finally, I get a chance to use the grumbly smiley!)

    If you have been friends for a long time then it might be really hard to just ditch her. If she has always been like this through out friendship on other issues then I would say she is very imature and has a lot of baggage. I wouldn't put up with her ****, I'd tell her exactly what is pissing you off about her and if she doesn't get the message then the hell with her. Life is way toooooo short to put up with other people and their crap. You can't choose your family but you can choose your friends. I wouldn't put up with it if it were me. The choice is totally yours but I'm sure you have plenty of other friends that can inspire and support you without this one causing you grief all the time. Good luck
