Dealing With Overconfiden

Dealing With Overconfident/Arrogant People

I really hope that I'm not the only one with this problem. At school, we have a tetherball thingy, so we play tetherball. I hadn't played before, but 3 days ago during recess, my friend suggested I play. I obliged. I played against her, and she won.

Ok, that's fine. I had done a pretty good job and she said that I was pretty good, for my first time. Then the next recess, I playedwith her again. This time I didn't play as aggresively becasue I had gotten bruises all the way up my arm because of it.

This time? I beat her. She quickly said that she had "gone easy on me" and demanded we play again.

I beat her again. Then she stopped playing.

And today, she played with me again. I beat her 5 out of 7 times. She quickly rushed into how she had twisted her ankle a little, and was off her gameAns while we were playing, she was constantly complaining about how bad I am, and how amazing she is.

Everyone WORSHIPS her because of it. Well guess what?

I have CHRONICALLY sprained ankles, so I am in constant, terrible pain. I broke me foot last week yup, x-rayes and everythig to prove it. And I also got bruised from the ropetwisting around my arm. Why? Because I am horribly farsighted, and if I look above the rim of my glasses, I see two of everyhting, and it's BLURRED.

She has NO EXCUSE to why she couldn't beat me.

She's so arrogant! And if she ever loses anything, she has a million excuses. I get that, but it's obnoxious. AND SHE DOES THIS WITH EVERYTHING.

UGHUGHGUGHGGUGHUHUGHUGHUGHUHGUGHUGHGUHGUG

The last line looks like it says "HUGHUGHUGHUGHUG."

Hug?

*hugs*

Well, I'm sorry but I don't have much advice about the actual problem. However, I do completely agree with the first thing the Bookish Texan said - do NOT keep it bottled up. I've done that many times, and it never ends well. "Vent" however you can - drawing, writing, even just good old talking. And hey, if you do either of the first two, you might make or do some really nice stuff in the process.

Oh. That doesn't sound fun. People like that make me soooo mad. I know someone like that. Unfortunately that person is my best friend. She does something I don't like, I get annoyed, and then I get mad at myself for being annoyed. Not a fun process. See, she used to be this amazing, funny, fun-to-be-around person. But then she changed a bit, and now she is rarely the amazing person she used to be. It is sad. I am sorry, I can't help you, I am still at loss of what to do for my case. 

Sadly,

LB~

I'm sorry. I am judged to quickly at school. Ex. Someone at my table group just asked me who cuts the cheese. I said i do it because i'm doing it on my own and sometimes my parents when i was little, maybe the company(the ones that makes sliced cheese anyways) and they complain about it like EWW! One person explained "cutting the cheese" meant farting. 1) Why ask in the first place? You make too much drama(which i hate) 2) I had said that i had farted before. I'm not ashamed to say that. Farting is part of life. If you never farted, you are either lying, or your digestive system has a problem, or it's just happens that you digested food never reached your large intestine. 

I am UGHUGHUGH with all the DRAMA at my school. They do stuff like that to me all the time. I really didn't mean to do this but 1 said chill to 2. I said 2 is too hot because hot is the opposite of cold, and that would make sense, but they assumed it was the type of hot that meant i liked 2. I ABSOLUTELY HATED IT! 2 is sooooo annyoing! Why would i like him? 

I am forever alone at my school because i have two types of friends: one that i talk with, but not one that i could trust with secrets or have playdates or whatever. another is a loyal friend who is nice and has playdates with you because you like eachother. Occasionaly mothers/fathers of families form friendships because of this younger friendship. My second type of friendship is in a diffrent state separated by another state because i had to move.

It's so good to spill it all to someone.
