friend thinks i'm selfish, but won't talk to me and address the problem.?
she has never said anything to me, but i know our friendship isn't working. she never talks to me, she comes to my house and says nothing all night. she uses me for my money. she never tells me anything important, if we didn't have a third "best friend" in the group, i'm going to be honest, i would never have met her. my mom thinks i don't need someone like her in my life to bring me down and depress me.
ii asked the third friend what's going on; she reluctantly admitted that in the past she has said i'm selfish, and that i turn every conversation into one about me. while that was once true, i try not to do it anymore. but isn't it better than sitting in an awkward silence? this girl doesn't speak unless she absolutely has to. last week, she stayed at my house, and spent two hours on my laptop talking to her boyfriend and another friend on G-chat. I just sat there in silence on the other side of the computer....
i can't address the issue with this girl, she doesn't know that i know she doesn't actually like me, but this is ridiculous. i know we're going to lose touch over the summer, i'm going to live with my cousins abroad for the whole break. but i feel like something needs to be said before then. what can i say to her? i don't want to leave the third friend with a "sophie's choice"
i've been nothing but supportive to this girl; i've been left to deal with the fall-out when she and her bf almost broke up-twice! and i went to her birthday party when none of her "preferred" friends would bother going, even though she knew it would cost me like $50 to take the train, while the others live withing walking-distance... so i can't be called a fair-weather friend to her!
i try not to play favorites, that's why i invite her to things and try to support her, but i'm wondering is it even worth it?? i'm putting in all the effort i can, for nothing

Why would you have this person over to your place if you know she's not gonna talk? Did she invite herself?
Anyway, the only way I can think to address a problem like this is confrontation, but the fact that you haven't tried forcing the issue already makes me wonder if you don't want to...? So I guess I'll just advise not actively seeking her out, and only spending as much time with her as absolutely necessary...

people dont like selfish people, therefor they rather not talk to you so that they wont deal with you anymore..
