I need to ask a question to anyone who bothers to read this.
Do you have a sort of friend that is extremely annoying and does not know it? I know I'm one to tolerate people for a long time before they get the point, but this one just keeps coming back and attaching itself to my hip and brain and will. not. let. go!
I have this girl who sits on the opposite side of the table to me and I've known her for a year and a bit, and I admit that the first year was fun, but this year she comes in at the start of term whining about her problems at home, and at first I was comforting as any friend would do, but the thing is, every morning after that she came into college and says something along the lines of "oh my god you will not believe what my mum has done" or makes a groaning sound (trying to get attention) then someone will ask "what's the matter" and she will start her life story. I'm not kidding about her, she's really annoying. It has calmed down a bit since then, but if I start talking to my friend who sits next to me about something, she will always have to say something to join in. Yeah she has family issues that I wouldn't be able to understand, but I don't want to be brought down with it as well.
One more thing she does is that she has no ideas or her own, so she takes my ideas. (I know I sound like I'm winging, but if you were me you would understand) We take an art class and that's cool because you get to do anything along the guidelines we are given, but she literally copies my work. I also took an animation class as the only one when everyone else in my group was going to take photography, and that was what she wanted to do in the first place, then it was suddenly "I don't want to take photography now because I'm worried about the chemicals getting in my eyes" (this is when we have to do compulsory photography anyway not NCFE photography) which made me think "what the hell? You said you wanted to improve you skills." So she went and took Video and I went off to do Animation, but then she whines to our tutors saying "I don't know what to do, Animation, Video or photography" so they go and put her in Animation with me when she told my other friend that she doesn't want to be stuck in front of a computer all the time...um isn't animation all computers now, you idiot? She copies my words, my styles, my work, my hobbies...she is like another shadow, except she talks...about herself...a lot.
This is an email she sent me not too long ago:

I've been feeling tht it's because of me so i've tried to stay out your way, yet i still feel i'm somehow annoying you and i don't know what's going on, you seem down this year an i'm not the only one to say it, i hope your ok... We haven't had a tea break in a while either and you don't seem to want to be around me yet hang around with me anymore, i'm really woried i think i've done something wrong but i don't know what, and feel you don't want to be friend with me anymore, i miss you... Could you please tell me what's up? Maybe it's just this year and about uni n stuff.. Even if it is just me, i'm really sorry =(

Ok, now that you have read this and thought "in my opinion you're the one who's whining so much", I want to know if there is anyone you know or is a sort of friend that is similar is anyway shape or form. I know I'm complaining a bit, but I've not let this on to anyone before and I thought that it was time to get it off my chest...
I'm sorry for wasting you time :|
