Is it normal that my friend is treating me like this

My best friend of three years has become a bitch. Don't get me wrong, I love her but I feel like the friendship is holding me back as a person. The problem is that she always treats me like shit when other people or my phone is involved. She has really strict parents that don't let her have social media or give her number out to certain people, so she's constantly using my phone. It's almost like she's only hanging out with me for my phone, she uses it without asking now and is always taking selfies instead of talking to me. When I confront her about it she just dismisses my suspicions and continues to use it. Not to mention that she tries to ruin my social rep by posting irrelevant things or things that make me look annoying (like bragging about how great my life is). But that's not all. In our friendship circle she always has to sit in the centre. She's always walking around amd everyone else mindlessly follows her to wherever she wants to go. Once I was in class with her and a mutual guy-friend of ours (who she sorta likes) and I was sitting between them and she MADE me move and sit at the end of the row by forcefully shoving her chair between us. This kind of stuff (and worse) happens all the time I'm becoming depressed. I used to be so confident and fun and now it just feels like I'm standing in her shadow. This has been going on for a year now and I don't know what to do! Please comment some advice below I need your help! (Ps she never listens when I try to talk to her and she gets really defensive and I end up having to apologise)

Leave her 28
Talk to her about my feelings 15

    That's not a friend, that's a user. Why do you let her have your phone?

    If you want her to stop treating you like a doormat, just stop behaving like one!

        Sounds like she could be using you then

        I would tell her she cant use your phone for a day or two because your using it, and see how she reacts haha

        She has to understand its your phone and you can use it if you want

        sounds like she is really comfortable in your relationship

        which theres nothing wrong with that, but its your phone and she has to respect that

        • Thanks for the advice. Most of what your saying is really true. And I totally wish I had thought of the whole "not let her use your phone for a day or two to see how she reacts" that would be good to see if she will respect me for the desicion.

    I think you should dump her, because she's a real user! You could try a little experiment if you like by muting your phone completely, sticking it at the bottom of your purse and telling her you lost or misplaced it at home for a couple of days. See how she treats you when you have no phone, and make your decision based on how she treats you.

    From what im getting it could be a mixture of things. Im not sure.

    But you could just have some jealousy maybe. Or its just really she has some problems

    How long have you known her?

    I mean its reasonable if you really think shes using you. Some friends in this world might do that, and fk those people.

    But like I said, im not completely sure. More details would help

    • I guess it could be jealousy. But I don't usually compare myself with others or envy others. If you want more details I'd like to add that most of the other friends in the group have said they have the same problems with her but she refuses to listen to us and gets offended and goes on about how we think she's a bad friend when we confront her (hence the ending with apologising to her) I also have known her for about three years, we used to get along really well which is why I am reluctant to end the friendship.

        oh shit, i dont know how i missed the last part XD haha

        but yea 3 years is a good amount of time for a friendship :)

        yea i would definately try to save it

        taking your phone away wont be the end of the world for her, unless it is XD haha

        Well it might not be jealousy. I just have no idea haha

        And thats good you dont

        If she IS being a bad friend to you, then you have nothing to apologize for

        If anything, SHE is the one that should be apologizing

        It doesnt sound like its your problem at all.

        Like I said, you should take your phone away for a day and see how she reacts.

        Its your phone, you do what you want
