There is a girl that I have known since last year. When I first met her we became good friends, and I thought she was this extremely wonderful, genuine person. But as time went on, I started to realize tha maybe I made a mistake in my judgment. I was far away from home and latched on to the few people I met within the first week of school. She is one of those people who "knows everthing," and she has this idea in her head that she's never wrong. She likes to dish out orders to people and things we're supposed to listen to her. I wish she wouldn't act that way because sometimes it makes me not want to be around her.
I want to control her because I want her to be a little nicer, not just to me, but to other people as well. I don't like that she talks about people behind their backs. It makes me wonder what she says about me when I'm not around. She tells me that I can't wear certain clothing around her because she doesn't like it. If I say something that is my opinion, she immediately disagrees, because after all she does "know everything." It really makes me sick. I don't understand how she could be that way. I don't understand how she doesn't realize that she is being mean. When I'm mean to someone, whether it's on purpose or not, I know it. And, if I'm not trying to be mean, I apologize to the perosn. If I don't reallize I was being mean and the person says to me, "you were being a little mean to me and it hurt my feelings," I apologize to them because I don't like to make people upset. I wish I could make her see the way she acts and how much it hurts me.
I know that I can't control her though because she has grown up in her own surroundings with her own family values, and she chose to adopt her own et of beliefs and opinions about how she should live her life. Those beliefs and opinions about life are a lot different from mine, and I understand that. The best attitude I can take toward the situtation is to understand that I can't control her, but I can, from time to time, either let her know how I feel or deal with what she says and not take it so personally because that's just the way she is.
