I don’t know what to tell my friend anymore!😭
I want to be honest with her but I can’t because I’ll hurt her feelings. She’s kinda insecure about not having a lot of friends. She hates being seen as a goodie goodie church girl, BUT SHE IS ONE!!!! She WILL NOT and I mean will not break the littlest rules, or do anything slightly bad. Sometimes is frustrating hanging out with her because i am not like that. I love God. But I party and have sex, listen to rap music and dont listen to my dad allllllll the time. She thinks it’s crazy that I’ve “kissed 11 guys”. I can’t wear certain clothes around her like short shorts or crop tops/ tank tops because according to her, her “2 year old cousin could fit in that”There have been situations I am in and I’ll be like “oh I’ll just say I’m doing this” and she’s like NO don’t lie. I love her to death and it’s good that she’s a good guidance but sometimes it’s frustrating with the little things. (Okay one more example is the other day there was free smoothies for people wearing flip flops and we got one and then 5 hours later I suggested we could go get another one and she was like “no it says only one per person”) So she is almost the exact opposite of me. She will never ever party, do anything with a guy, break a rule, lie, or anything along those lines. (I’m not saying it’s not okay to be good btw)
My point is is she always asks me for advice on how to have more friends and not be seen as a goodie goodie and the only thing I can her is to just be herself and it’s okay to be the way you are because God wants you to be that way. And that she’s perfect and it’s okay. But honestly, the only way to be not seen that way is to let loose. Break the rules sometimes. Be open to regular teenage things. I’m not saying that she should go do bad things but a reallyyyy good majority of popular people (the ones she says she wants to be friends with) party and just do bad things that she would never do. (We go to different schools btw)
SO HOW CAN I GIVE HER ADVICE?! I’m running out of things to say. She always asks me why she doesn’t have friends. And she always asks why people are always like “oh don’t tell Molly”. Her names Molly btw
(Please don’t say anything judge mental. Do not think I’m encouraging her to do bad things, because I haven’t told her anything like that at all. I’m not saying it’s not okay to “good” all the time, I’m just asking for advice on what I can tell her when she asks)
