text: why does my best friend always try to make me jelous? it seems like every time she gets or does something new, she has to rub it in my face or make me feel like shes better than me for it. a true friend will never make you feel bad about your self and will never hurt you. you might want to rethink this friendship with this girl. she obviously doesn't sound like a true friend. and just because you have known someone all of your life doesn't make them your bestfriend. a bestfriend should be someone that lifts you up, and never let you fall down.
