Is she just trying to follow etiquette, or just a two-faced friend? LONG But, 10 Points!!!?

Wow, it's alot, and complicated, 1. You know/realize already your friend is needy, you also realize she pretends to give you what you want and placate you with compliments but doesn't mean them. And you both need friends and are having confidence issues which is what attracts you to each other. Her issues hurt you because you realize that she wants you to be an adoring fan but not a star because she's the only STAR on stage, (which is why it feels like she doesn't include you in secrets) The TRUTH is she treats those people like she treats you, and because of that, everyone feels good but only when they feel they are the one with her full attention sharing the gossip/secret, when not, they feel like you do when she ditches them for a perby. Now....the stage girl...well of course your pal downplayed it...cuz why make a big deal out of someone else being on stage? And then scared? She feels like she should be on stage, cuz she's a wannabe starlet...see? Regarding her dishonesty, it scares you, you are clearly more ethical than she, but you are also worried and care about her because you recognize good spiritual similarities, like the need to be popular and accepted in a genuine way. You are both young, and it's likely that in a few months you will be hi/bye pals, what you want and need, are friends that will stand by you if things ever get hairy in a club with a guy or something. If she's good and loyal in a situation like that, then you should put up with some of her imperfections...if she's the first to run when situations get uncomfy, you need to bite the bullet and make room for better friends. I'ts hard to let go sometimes, but by and large you have a great heart and good sensitibilities. PS, I'd like to use your question in my advice blog it's psychic2call.wordpress.com I think it was a great question and full of detail!
