writes: I think that I must be an easy target for people to pick on or they just like seeing my reaction to things, because it seems to happen all the time. My one friend is friends with my ex-friend. That's fine- I don't care who she hangs out with- but she brags about it and talks about how they hang out and how much fun they have together. I try to switch the topic or talk about something else, but it seems like she enjoys making me uncomfortable. Another friend of mine seems to know what buttons to push to annoy me- she'll just say anything that she knows will aggravate me. Then if I stand up to her, she acts all hurt and like I'm the bad one or mean one. I don't know if I overreact or just need to grow a backbone or what. How do I handle being in situations like this? Is it better to ignore it or just act like it doesn't bother me?

Try talking to them about how you feel if they don't listen then dump them and find new friends and even if you don't find them now it does not matter it's better to be alone than to be always hurt by people you call your friends.

 I think you need new friends. Why hang around people who make you feel bad?
