I am getting irritated by my best friend!
We have been friends for years! When guys (total strangers) ask about me, she immediately informs them that I am engaged and getting married soon. "I must eliminate all my competitors!" When guys come and chat me up, she will stand beside me, introduce herself and starts flirting so-not-subtly..arghhhh...
She wants things done her way and when it's not, she gives comments like the other party is being conservative, jealous of her, old-fashioned etc.
She is always telling me how many guys are going after her and how many guys have checked her out and how she is going to play "hard-to-get" when these are guys she met at the pubs for like one night??? She's reading too much into things and she hallucinates about guys checking her out 'coz frankly, she's not pretty at all! I am not being mean but she just needs to know it! gosh!
I am all pent up and so vexed but I'm really wondering whether this is normal and I am supposed to smile and follow along and not burst her bobble since I'm her bestie? How do I tell her that those guys are just out for a one-night stand and are not really interested in her???

Try to be reasonable, mention a few things & what you want her to do differently that she can change. Don't dump everything on her. You'll feel better for having DEALT with her on a few doable matters.
After that DEAL with her as issues come up. Don't let it build up.
So whatever her annoying behaviours, that you consider her your Bestie says she is worth caring about. And you have to take some responsibility for not caring enough to deal with her when she is a wee bit annoying.
