Dear Aunt Agony,
It seems like to me that my friend has got ego issues that is getting more serious as days go by. Let's call her Nancy.
Nancy has a boyfriend who loves and pamper her. She's a single kid and her parents dotes on her very much. Since she's tall and slender, I give her an 8.5 overall. I've been close pals with Nancy about a year ago and she seems really nice in the beginning. We have a lot in common and were on the same frequency BUT Nancy has got problems alright.....
Scenario 1. I don't take beef. It's got to do with religion and my upbringing. Nancy thinks I'm inflexible. What has not taking beef gotta do with flexibility? Are vegans considered inflexible when they only order vegetarian food? WHAT?!!!!
Scenario 2. I'm a very verbal person. I joke a lot and I am not joking when I say A LOT. It's okay when people don't get my jokes sometimes cos I don't give a hoot what they think. Back then, Nancy always laugh at my jokes but recently, she doesn't laugh at them. Not only does she shove my jokes aside, she wants me to STFU. I'm upset at how rude she's become. I really am.
Scenario 3. Nancy wants me to get things done her way. And when I don't, she gets irritated. Gawd, I feel so caged up.
Two days ago, I was preparing some food and when I was doing it my way, she whined and got all grumpy. Things like getting a drink or snack has to be done by me. Perhaps she is used to having a maid to clean up after her, do chores and stuff but I'm seriously not her maid nor keen to replace that position.
Scenario 4. When Nancy wants to charge her phone or laptop, she makes sure she got the plug. No questions asked, just pull the plug and charge. Yep, not so nice to those who are still chargingggg~ WELL THEN, GET YOUR OWN UNIVERSAL PLUG AND DON'T USE MINE! Gah, I hope I could say that.
Scenario 5. Nancy comments about the things I wear and the music I listen to. Nancy isn't fond of indie and synth. She thinks it's weird and claims that she gets headache when I play them from my laptop. She's the inflexible one!
Scenario 6: Nancy's girly. She's afraid of anything that's not human. She finds things that don't exist in her world icky and disgusting. She lives in her own dome. She's the inflexible one!
Scenario 57. After Orlando, she plans to go to NY. ONLY NY. NO WHERE ELSE. I'm really keen about visiting California and Hawaii but guess what, little Nancy doesn't budge. She thinks NY is the place for her where she can get her Chanel, shop at Barneys and rents the little beach-house by the Hamptons. Yea, Nancy dreams about being a Waldorf. Then again, I doubt she know what Barneys is. And when she does, she talks to me about it as if I'm the less knowledgable one. In this case, I rather go Cali alone and I'm not afraid of being alone. YAY I'M FLEXIBLE!
There're just too many incidents and I'm getting sick of Nancy's shit. I really almost can't take it anymore. Putting up with a friend like Nancy is tiring. What should I do Aunt Agony?
Truly agonized,
Daphne
