    Hi there! I once had a friend like you that I ended up cutting out of my life. I’m much happier without her but occasionally I find myself missing her because we were friends for a long time. However, she was extremely manipulative and mean to me throughout the years, and the more successful I became, the worse she treated me. When we first became friend as, I was rougher, and needed friends to soften me, but as the years went on she became a worse person. Judgmental, rude, crass, did I say manipulative? Anyhow, it took another pair of eyes for me to see that besides her being an awful and toxic person, she was very jealous of me. I had a stable job, a great boyfriend, and I was moving on in life. In our earlier friendship she was used to being the more conventionally attractive one, but I grew and blossomed and the attractiveness gravitated towards me. Regardless of everything going on, I continued the friendship out of blind loyalty and unnecessary obligation. It got to a point, where I had an emergency hospital visit before I moved in with my boyfriend, and as I focused on my mental health while sharing parts of my new found happiness with her, she told me I was leaving her out of everything. Any emotional attachment I had was beginning to deplete. I feel that I maybe could have handled this if not for the person that jealousy and whatever the hell her problem was but my point is, please stop being jealous of your friend. Whatever she has going on for her, you could have and be even happier with if you try. NO ONE WANTS A JEALOUS FRIEND, THEY SUCK. So be an honest friend, be happy for her. If you aren’t, fake it until you are. It will leave you with a drama and stress free life, and you’ll be a better person for it.
