Is this Friend worth keeping?

My friend has always been a bit of a bragger and a massive liar but I find myself not letting her go after almost a decade of friendship.

However, last week was really the final straw. We ran into a couple of her friends from her school and they seemed interested to meet me but she focused all the attention on herself and whenever I tried to speak, she'd tell me to be quiet. It really annoys me because the last time I met one of her friends, we almost hit it off. I got so annoyed that I said I was going home and just left her; only to have her chasing after me and although I expected an apology, she just told me to walk her home.

Is she ashamed to be seen with me or something? I don't understand why I can't even put in a single hello and why she has to claim the spotlight with her massive lies of how she lives in a mansion (only I know her secret) and how she spends a lot of money on designer clothes ... only for me to discover it was only $45 at Jeans West.

It confuses me as to why she's so insecure and has to tell everyone lies and how she has a string of boyfriends and how all boys chase after her. It's kinda sad because the 'boys' enlisted on her phones are really her family members, only with their names changed. Also, we're almost 18, I thought people got over this stuff by this age.

So for old time's sake, should I just keep her? Or flat out end the friendship?

Thanks

Does she lie to you?
Aside from the lying and bragging, how is your friendship?
Do you actually want to be friends with her?

Hi Guy,

thanks for the reply. Was really freaked out that I'd be the only person in this website with no reply whatsoever.

Yes she does lie to me and I think I'm unsure of keeping the friendship. I've been friends with her for quite a while and it's more of a routine.

Our friendship is like bipolar. One minute, we're the best of friends and she acts real normal and genuine but sometimes her period or something kicks in and she starts bragging and lying about things.

I think the only reason I'm caring is because I've been friends with her so long and the good sides to the friendship is what makes me happy although to endure it with lies and over exaggeration constantly, I'm beginning to doubt if its worth it.

You mentioned "routine". What is the routine? Whom do you think is more interested in the friendship? I wonder if she lies to you out of habit, or if because she believes you won't want to be friends with her if she doesn't impress you, or if she's ashamed about something she did, etc. Any ideas?

Would you mind comparing the good with the bad? You said that she lies to you. Could you provide some examples? How did you discover some of her lies?

why would you let someone treat you like that let alone treat yourself to a shit tasting candy bar.? its not good for you nor does it taste good. go find a pineapple its tasty bright and good for you.!
