So I started going to a new school about three or four years ago and I met my best friend there. We started hanging out all the time as we had a lot in common. She was a year younger than me and at the time most of my friends were. As our friendship progressed I began to notice she was a bit of a control freak. As we hung out more and more I also became uncomfortable with her seemingly constant "teasing". I find her passive aggressiveness and lack of emotional restraint irritating. I've reached the point where I dread checking my phone and hanging out with her. I wish things could be the way they used to be but I just find her so annoying now. I feel as though we're forcing a connection that is no longer there. Which leads me to my other problem with our friendship. I don't feel like I can be myself around her or talk to her about my problems. It, of course, isn't her fault that she feels uncomfortable talking about deeper things, but we can't get close unless we talk about them. Anyway I suppose I'll have to talk to her about this but I'm just having trouble figuring out what to say and not sounding like a jerk.

I have this reoccurring nightmare, though it isn’t exactly a nightmare. Perhaps a form of PTSD, I am unsure but with each individual time. I awake in tears wh...
Tell her how you feel about her behaviour and that you won't put up with any more of it. I also have a bff (big fat friend) who I can barely put up with. We met for coffee in a café and she goes on and on with absolute crap that has no point to any of it. She says things like, "When it's cold in the winter I wear socks to bed." And she said, "I'm growing my hair now." my intelligence isn't that low that I can get into boring ongoing talk like this. She goes on like this for hours if I stay with her that long. Because she paid for the drinks and food at the café it is my turn to meet her again and pay this time. I cannot bring myself to do it as I think I will go insane with boredom. Last time I spoke to her on the phone she went on and on with some crap and I was so thankful when the line dropped out. I am trying to avoid her. So thank you for your post and good luck to us both with our bffs.
