My best friend is making me uncomfortable...what do I do?
As weird as this may sound, lately our friendship has been more like a relationship. I mean she doesn't like me romantically, but some of the things she gets annoyed with me about are weird. The other day we were hanging out with another one of our friends. She was getting mad at me for not giving her enough attention. Apparently I was laughing more at what my other friend was saying than what she was saying. She felt like she was competing with our other friend & she felt like I liked her more because she's prettier. She was also annoyed when she found out that our other friend was spending the night because she wanted to have alone time with me. I mean I understand wanting to have quality time together or whatever, but every other time we hang out it's just us. I don't understand what the big deal is hanging out with a third person.
Basically, this girl is very insecure. She is overweight, self harms & lives in an abusive household. She has a ton of medical issues. She thinks of me as her only friend & if anything was to happen to our friendship she would kill herself. It puts me in a very horrible position that I don't want to be in.
What do I do? It's not like I don't want anything to do with her, but I feel like this friendship is very unhealthy.
(We're 17 if that makes a difference)

This actually makes me realize a lot of things. I'm the same way towards one of my friends and I'm going to start making some changes because he seems like he's been uncomfortable towards me lately. Thank you. He told me recently that i'm not worth his time and not a priority. He's the only person I've got and it crushed me. I felt like if he wasn't my friend anymore i'd kill myself as well and i have been very depressed lately. He's the only person i talk to and i'm very alone now because we have not talked since. I feel terrible and i want things to be okay again. However, i'm definitely not as clingy anymore. Maybe you can pull time aside to tell her this directly. If you want to stay friends but not feel uncomfortable, I think maybe you should directly tell her how she is making you feel. If you don't want to do that then maybe be a complete piece of **** asshole and do what my friend did to me but afterwards show that you still wanna be friends.

Are you a boy? Sorry dint pick this detail. She is clingy and needs people in general. She should grow out of it in time. She likes you is my guess if so then that be the reason. Woman are like that be cautious of her feelings. Talk it out before you have to distance her.

first off be might have a crush on you... or shes just very jealous and/or protective. let her know that its ok to talk and hangout and laugh with other friends because in the end you two should know that you two will always be best friends.
