I had one friend in senior school, but if she decided she wasn't speaking to me for some reason, she'd side with the bullies. It's only in the past few years I've actually realized how she used to treat me even when we were supposedly friends; putting me down in front of people, making out that any achievement I managed was nothing. It's funny how you can't see it at the time.
I had a best friend all through high school and it was funny after we graduated we even worked together for several years. It was after that I saw how our "friendship" worked. When I first got on this group I was reading a post about people who were Narcissists and it really made sense. She could act like a friend but could still always feel very superior so our "friendship" was ideal for her personality.
