My best friend

Hi,
My best and closest friend told someone I know that I was boring and ignorant. What should I do as I find this very disconcerting.Thank you.

Forgive her! People are not perfect. If you demand perfection from your friends, you will soon have no friends. Try to have a bad memory for old wrongdoings. If this would make you feel better, you might say something nasty about her to someone.

We can all be ignorant and boring sometimes. See if you can learn something from the comment. Read books and newspapers. That will make you more interesting and wellinformed.

Well,
I suspect strongly that since the beginning of our friendship she had malevolant intentions toward melike wanting me to be unhappy. This I have trouble forgiving.
I could write her expressing my concerns as I did with the comment she made about me but this won't get me anywhere.

Ask somebody who knows you both and whom you trust. Ask whether your friend is nasty towards you, or if it is you who has paranoic tendensies. If your friend is really nasty, maybe you cannot be friends with her anymore.
