I hate my best friend...is this normal?

She is selfish, fake, manipulative and self obsessed. However she's amazing to be around, shes happy, fun and has this amazing positive vibe. There's something about her eveyone loves, shes so popular, i love it when she treats me well its so much fun to be around her. But she is so concious of how she appears to other people she calls me and spends hours talking to me about guys analysing their every word, she is obssessed with what she wears, how she looks, she edits all photos of herself, but she tries so so hard to make it look like to other people she doesnt care at all and it works. When shes with people she is sociable, flirty and happy.

I usually see the horrible side of her and it seems like recently its only the horrible side. She is lovely to everyone else but because I'm allways there for her she doesn't need to make an effort or pretent with me. In some ways i am quite pleased I'm the only one of her friends she is real with, we are both very close with two other girls and shes not even like it with them. But I hate it. I am allways there for her, shes never there for me. I know all her problems, she uses me as her diary, which i dont mind, but I never tell her any of mine I never get the chance....she doesnt know so many things. Sometimes I love her so much and I think, i'm so glad we're so close. Everyone comments on how close we are and It feels like we were made to be together but when its bad its really bad.

Sometimes when we have a really horrible argument, and i go home and cry my eyes out I tell myself I wont let her hurt me. She has betrayed me so many times, she kissed my boyfriend who is now my ex and has flirted with countless guys i like. She makes me feel worthless, unconfident and she constantly knocks me down. I hate it when we're not talking so I end up forgiving her straight away, I want her to talk to me and not act like i dont exist.m

Is it normal to hate your best friend so much at times?!
Do you think it's normal?

That is not a friend. I know from experience what those kinds of girls are like, I was close friends with one. I'm sorry to say this, but she's really going to end up fucking you over big time.

i couldnt have said it better myself
Omg. I thought I was the only one!

I HATE, absolutely LOATH my best friend.

But we've been so close that I just can't stop being her friend.

She fights over stupid things. We were talking on the phone about the president election a while ago and I told her that I wanted Obama to win and she was like, "You're so stupid. You agree with everyone. You're not even black."

I was like wtf! I don't have to be black to like Obama.

Then she started talking about my mother and shit and the next day she calls me like nothing ever happened.

I guess I let it slide, but sometimes I think I'm using her 'cause she has ALOT of money and sometimes buys me things.

I don't think it's mean 'cause I know that she uses me.

But now I'm rambling on so I'll stop.

Lol.

--Not So Normal
SHE IS DEFINETLY USIN U!!!!!!!!!
Dump her or she even sleep with ur husband one day.
Ditch that b****.
I had a similar "best friend", but she wasn't as bad as yours.
You sound like a great best friend. Find someone who deserves your loyalty.
I hate my 'best' friend too. Even after not talking to her for a year I got together with her again and found that nothing had changed and there is still really so little about her that is likeable that I must sever the friendship. It's harder (or at least certainly as hard) to 'break up' with a long term friend than it is to breakup with someone you're dating or married to.
You hate her and it is normal. what is not normal is that you consider somebody who is hurting you so much, to be your best friend. you dont deserve a person with rotten inside.
it is just my oppinion, but I made the same mistake. Got confused about frienship with someone who pretended to be kind to me -so I felt thankful for that- but one morning I woke up and realized I had become her doormat. Nobody has the right to do that.
You deserve better friends, that is my advice.
You sound like someone that anyone would like to be friends with and your so called best friend doesn't deserve you.
Ouch.Almost the same problem here.Dump her.Shes not your friend.
There are many things that could be said about all this -- but I'll limit myself to a few. At first I thought this was just a common example of the old expression "Familiarity breeds contempt". But I realize that the issue is much deeper than you just being jealous of your friend (because to some degree you are). This is really about your friend's excessive insecurity. Sounds like a classic case of NARCISSIM. What most people don't realize is that a narcissist is not simply a person intrigued by her own image and inordinately focused on herself. The true narcissist is extremely insecure and appears outwardly fun, upbeat and confident (usually in a seemingly fun but also cutting and agressive kind of way toward others) but is actually petrified inside that someone might find out she's really not "all that" after all. The most important thing to note here, however, is that YOU CANNOT CURE HER of this or any other personality disorder (look that term up). She will always be this way, and it will cost you a lot in terms of emotional capital, and perhaps other things you value (or should value), if you keep up the relationship. The real question is why you feel the need to put up with it. You are being abused, and the only one to blame when that continues to happen is yourself. Be good to yourself - be friends with people who are good to you, not those who are not. She's your "frienemy" not your friend.
i used to be in the exact same position. if you dont dump her now you will eventually and wish you did much sooner.
