The one friend who tries to control you? Let me explain. Warning: This may or may not be a rant. I have this one friend who tried to control me for an entire year- she's nice, but she has completely different opinions than I do- and she's rather mean to my other friends (right now they're on good terms but I don't know how far it will last). However, if you end up against her and don't bend to her will she starts yelling at you and then playing the "oh but I'm your best friend" card a week or so later. She's actually almost manipulative- there were times where I was almost like a servant in how I treated her. She thought of a lot of the stuff I read and wrote as childish because it's about animals, and she thinks animals cannot express emotion beyond want for food and other primitive things like that. Working on school projects because we had almost the same schedules was worse- she would yell at me via text if I wasn't able to do something because I had important other things to do or even at one in the morning- she was angry at me when I forgot one tiny detail and I became extremely paranoid for the rest of the day. She also once pressed questions to me about why I was so secretive about religion- it's because I'm an atheist and I'm afraid of ticking off anybody with it. One time she got angry at me for poking fun at Donald Trump because she supports him. She moved last summer, but she has my number- and she's still trying to contact me. Heck, she'll manipulate me into regretting saying all of this about her because she acts really friendly when she's not the slightest bit annoyed. And I swear, if she finds this thread somehow she'll start yelling at me for saying it. And she'll accuse me of cyber bullying. Back when we were young and never had any of this trouble, she gave me a copy of Outcast so I could read it after I finished The New Prophecy. I still have it- it's kind of haunting now after all of this. But it's a bit nostalgic- a reminder of what she used to be, a calm and kind kid who treated me well. I'm really not sure what I should do now that she's moved- she's nearby, should I contact her or not?- And should I be glad about her moving or not? There, just needed to get all of that out of the way. Because I don't want to regret this, I won't mention any name. I don't want to get in any trouble for saying all of this about one of my friends.

She actually used to be in my main squad of friends, but then she became angry towards all of us. I'm literally the only person from my group who's still friends with her because I don't want to get in any arguement with her- she wants to be a politician, so I could never win. It was at the point where I would tell this to my other friends and be all "there she comes now, look at the pompous way she walks" before abruptly becoming all cheery and agreeing when she was nearby enough to hear. I wanted to leave but I was bound to her in a way There was a time where I asked for suggestions and she said I could make one of my characters (Gretel is the name of the character) fall in love. Gretel would never be in love- she's a violent sadist who constantly wrestles between her psychopathic nature and her love for her victims, such as her brother. She's also rather young (she's twelve or so) and would never want romance- she'd be too busy wrecking them with a chainsaw and fighting cannibalistic witches! When I explain this to her she just goes "it may be out of character but it would be cute!" I'm not a cutesy writer. She did this a lot actually- trying to force the gritty trickster with a mysterious past to have children even though he'd never be a good father, trying to distance away the main sidekick because she thought he was too ditzy... Most of her attempts never worked, except for that last one. I felt like my work was more of a commission to her at one point

I have a friend like that, though she doesn't shout at me. Just very moody and bossy sometimes

i have a friend who is kinda like that but not really they think they can get anything by asking "well why not?" like i said i saw the steven universe leak and they said "I WANT TO SEE IT." i declined, saying i know what i did was wrong. they said "i dont care. let me see it." i proceeded to lock my computer and laptop and they sulked in the corner now they think that im gonna make a $300 costume for them for free
they just need to learn that what they want isnt what they're gonna get
