How to deal with a former friend

OP is original poster :slight_smile:
Then don’t say the salaam first. But it is necessary for you to say it back to her if she says it. Like someone posted earlier, give a cursory salaam back, then walk away.

“my mom”- this girl can’t think for herself. She probably has only her husband and mom in her life.

:smack: I get so annoyed when I deal with or hear about such people. That’s really nosy… it’s none of her business and I agree with PCG, it’s psycho. Amna has spent 20 or so years like this, she’s most likely not going to change… so just limit your interaction with her. Explain to your parents that you can’t be friends with Amna. Your personalities are completely different, so why force friendship? And if that girl does something else again, let your mom know this girl is destroying your reputation, you’ve had enough.
