My Friend Always Tried To Beat Me At Everything!!!!!!?
I have a really close friend who is really sweet at times, but whenever I do something, she tries to do something better. For example:
When I told her I got a new BF, she said she started dating a popular guy. Thats just the start.
When I started kickboxing, she started bragging about how kickboxers aren't that good at sports, and since she does basketball, she's better than me.
I don't know what to do about her. Please help me.

You know, she might just be looking up to you.. I would say jelous but its not like that. She might see you as something SHE'D like to be so she finds everyway to do that. Take it as a positive thing, but yeah it must get annoying... Honestly just tell her. Tell her you feel that way and she might tell you the actual truth on why she does do it.. what have you got to lose exactly? Gd luck!

It's clear that she has a bit of jealousy.Maybe because everything is going so well for you and she wishes she had the same so she's getting a little jealous.I also think that maybe she thinks you're getting a lot more attention than she is getting,so she goes to measures like this to impress you and make you believe that her life is just as great as yours.Are you there for her as a friend? because sometimes in friendships,if a friend feels like she's being overshadowed by her friend then that might have an effect on her self-esteem and the way she feels about your friendship together.Talk about it with her,talk about your friendship with her and if you value her as a friend tell her that,maybe she also needs something to celebrate just like you're celebrating getting a new boyfriend and getting a new hobby.If she keeps doing it,then you might need to be careful with a friend that's not happy for you when something good happens to you,sometimes jealous friends are friends you need to keep away from,but remember that everyone gets jealous sometimes.

I used to be friends with a girl who was like that. People like that just feel the need to one-up everyone! Try telling her how it makes you feel. If it's bothering you too much, end the friendship, because she's not gonna change. If you think you can handle it, then keep hanging out with her.

She's only a little jealous.
Tell her that she needs to stop bragging a little and you still want to be friends but you just don't want her always talking about how she is better. Talk to other friends and listen to their opinions.

Just talk to her. Tell her it bothers you. She might be jealous, and probably doesn't understand you're annoyed. She could also be just a really competitive person. I definitely think talking to her about it will help the situation.
Good Luck!!
Can you answer mine?

Just talk to her about how you feel and that you don't want it to affect your friendship.
