I had a roommate that would always brag about all the many friends he had and it was so irritating. It made me feel inferior and like I was doing something wrong.
Grrr that reminds me of the freshman yr of college. Well more like freshman 6 weeks because I was so over it.

Nito Kenshi,

What do you mean? Did you have to deal with a bragger? lol. It sucks when you don't know too many folks and someone is bragging and always going out but never lets you in on anything.

I KNOW!!!!

My roomies were like "Oh look we have so many friends on our myspace and facebook and all you have is tom". And they would always ask me if I wanted to go somewhere I would say yes and they would never take me anywhere!

I'm over people give me a dog any day.

I mentioned going to a concert for a few hours and she started guilting me and telling me that she is really upset and really needs me right now, but when I ask what is wrong, she won't say. I don't know what to do? I know she had her rough patches, was raped in high school and suffers depression, and I try to be there for her as much as humanly possible. I answer my phone at 4 in the morning, sometimes miss class just to be there if she needs to talk. I don't want to lose her as a friend, she means too much to me, but I don't know what to do. Her being so clingy and jealous is starting to push me away and i don't want it to come to that. Please help!

There is more to it...so if more information is needed to answer the question just let me know and I will type it up!
I also vote for the two of you getting together in person real soon, it's long overdue. Is there somewhere that you'd both like to visit for a weekend? I think that the years apart have caused her to use you more as a emotional crutch and confidant, and less as a real best friend. Best friends also do activities together and in person imo. So keeping in touch by phone and internet is not enough. And... you need to set some boundaries in terms of her not calling you up in the middle of the night when she has a panic attack or other personal crisis.
