Question
My best friend has this idea that everything will be handed to her. She comes from a poor family, but thinks her family will pay their way through anything she wants to do. She's selfish, and I believe she's bipolar. I can be talking to her normally and she'll get mad over nothing. When I try to confront her over any of these issues the best way I know how, she just blows up and shuts me out. What should I do?
Answer
I am so sorry that your friend can be difficult and obvivously hurts your feelings. All you can do is tell her how you feel, withdraw when she is mean and encourage her to see a counselor. Good luck!
