text: what should i do?  i can't stand my friend......? my friend is also a family member.  she calls me her best friend. she was extremely spoiled as a child, and has a very abrasive personality, so actually i'm like her only friend.  i love her and don't want to hurt her, but i'm annoyed with her all the time because she acts like she thinks she's better and more intelligent than me, and can't stand when anyone else is receiving attention or praise.  how do you handle this without hurting anyone.... hey..i guess you gotta be expressive & show that not everyone knows everything. there may be areas which you are more intelligent in - show it. it's all about actions. she may not be exactly jealous but she's just a snob. someone who's competitive, one who must win in all situations. you are more like her opposite, that's why she only has you as her friend - you give her a sense of victory. i think u should try & get her to appreciate other friends/people around her. have a break from her some times, please. take care
