So I have this friend and we’ve been friends for like ever since I can remember, but anyways she is very toxic and is constantly trying to make me feel bad about my body, like “I’m the perfect skinny girl but your chubby” type stuff. Btw I weigh the same or less than her if it matters. She also is very clingy and controlling, I have to be near her and can’t talk to other people to long or she gets mad and she sometimes acts just plain weird like talking in a baby voice, not to a baby, and she has this thing where if she holds out her hand I have to hold it or slap it like a high five except I have to keep doing it over and over. There was one point in my life where she said to my face that I was chubby/fat. I got so self-conscious that I didn’t even want to go in public and I was majorly depressed 
tbh it’s kind of like walking on eggshells around her like any little thing could set her off, but she’s allowed to do whatever and I’m still gonna be her bestie. I don’t really feel like being friends anymore, and there is another girl I wanna be friends with(I’m extremely introverted, so I don’t really have anyone else) so ya. I want your opinion; do I keep giving her chances or do I try to distance myself.
If you’ve read all that, thanks so much
i just had to get it off my chest
That must suck, I’ve dealt with that before(me and my friend got abused by one of our “friends”), tell her how she’s making you feel, if she doesn’t apologize or care about it, tell her you can’t be friends anymore if they keep acting like that, try to stay away from her as much as possible, tell someone you trust about it.
(Idk if that’s great advice that’s just how it worked out for me and my friend)
She sounds…. Unpleasant. I know exactly what kind of person you are talking about. All I can say is tell her to stop as she is making you uncomfortable and if needed tell her that you’ll cut her off if she doesn’t stop. What she is doing is dehumanizing you and how you feel about yourself Im so sorry you have to deal with her. She honestly probably doesn’t feel great about herself and is taking it out on you.
You always have the choice to stop being friends with her, if she’s making you uncomfortable you should definitely talk to her about it. Mention how she’s sometimes rude and says unnecessary things. I think if you talk about it, it would be better than ghosting or keeping on going how you’re going. I hope you figure something out 
I’m sorry but… she might not be ur friend then. If she makes you feel uncomfortable in your own skin, or if it feels like she’s not putting the same amount of good energy into this friendship as you, she just might not care. My tip is to yourself for a bit and if friends don’t get back then they’re not going to be your true friends. This is happened to me many times and it’s very upsetting, but then I found some great friends. Tell her directly how you feel, and if she doesn’t care enough to change, get yourself some real friends! Sorry if this sounds brutal or rude, I’ve just had this happen to me before and it’s upsetting
Thanks so much guys!
My parents actually know all about it and are very supportive
sounds like she has more of a fear of losing you. Since you are more introverted these comments she makes are only making you back up into ur shell even farther , and while I don’t know her personally she might not be clueless to this information and is taking advantage. my theory is she may be making these comments in order for you to see her as the role model/mentor so you wouldn’t want to leave her side and see her as the only one who would accept you. I really hope I did not offend you in any way and if I did I apologize but I don’t think you guys should be friends, it s un healthy and isn’t benefitting either one of you. Real friends will grow with you not try to drag you down with them <3
Thanks this really makes sense!
I would say that u should tell her how u feel about the situation. If she’s really ur friend, she’ll make an effort to be less controlling/toxic. If she doesn’t even bother then it kinda shows how she feels towards u. I personally think u’d be happier with another friend, just from what u said here.
I was actually in a similar situation last year. My friend would get jealous if I talked to another friend of mine, and would shamed me for not wearing any makeup. I’m not friends with her anymore, and I’m much happier.
It’s not really worth wasting ur time with someone who doesn’t treat u right yk?
