Why does my friend want me to prioritize her over other women in my life?

[Anonymous]

I have this close friend who has been mad at me lately i didn't understand why. So took me out for lunch to explain what's been going on. She basically mad at me for talking and laughing with other women more than i have been with her this past month. She feels as if i should talk, laugh and text her more than i do with other women. She also feels as if i ignore her.

I actually talk to her. After covid she had no side effects. I'm dealing with fatigue from when i talk a lot to how much i eat. I have to pace myself. After almost a month it had gotten so much better. Dt hsve me on high protein meal 6 times a day.

Everytime i talk or laugh with other women she always have something to say or some type of remark. I supported her being open and honest but when she told me this, i tried not to laugh. This is the craziest thing to be mad at someone over. She went as far as saying after we were quarantine for covid i changed. She's just my quarantine bff. Lol

She mad about text because she doesn't initiates the text. If you don't text me and i'm always texting first after 2 or 3 times of me texting first i stop texting. If she text or call she ask me a question i know she knows the answer too. Which is cool with me or a random picture that i don't have a response too. She has a guy she's dating/together with. But she want me to prioritize her over other women. She feels as though i replaced her with first a woman she doesn't like that i'm very cool with and now with her close female friend i became cool with. This is really bothering her. We work together and ohr manager told me to fix it.

What is wrong with her? Does she have a right to be mad over something like this? Should i prioritize her over other women in my life even though she doesn't check up on me and or text me and they do?

Hmm it seems to me she requires a lot of attention I’ve had this happen with one of my friends when my boyfriend and I started dating. Specially once he moved into my apartment. Basically it’s kinda like this she wants attention she’d get it from her boyfriend right but let’s say she’s busy she’d go to her male best friend which I presume to be you for attention from another male it’s not romantically it’s more just like I said wanting attention she doesn’t know how to approach it herself and she gets frustrated she isn’t interesting enough (which she will feel like if you spend more time with someone else then her) I don’t really got advice I just kinda told him “listen I got a boyfriend now you can’t suspect me to show you more attention then them” if you’re situation is friend based all around just say “I show attention to everyone the same amount but it wouldn’t hurt if you text or called first for a change if you just want to talk maybe a simple hey how’s life or wyd or how’s your day etc because if I’m the only one starting it feels one sided.” Hope it helps but I could be completely wrong and she could have a crush you not a full one just a passer by but since she has a boyfriend I crossed it off the list of possibilities

I don't think she has a crush on me. But our friendship is different than the one i havr with other women. I started flirting with her and she responded well. We flirt and touchy feely to the point we are used to the touch from one another and weird things we do. But we are cool. Been friends for almost 6 years. This is the first year i flirted and first year she behaved like this.

She did admit she like attention. I been knew that but i'm not the person to give attention. I'm the last one to do that.

I think it's weird i feel as if i have to treat her like a girlfriend for her to act normal/be happy. That's too much work. She always complaining about me replacing her in my life. How i don't talk to her. Etc etc.

I tried to give her space for her new relationship. She told me he just a friend and for me to keep doing what i been doing. I'm not about to flirt with her. The guy already suspect something between us cause he looks at me differently now and don't speak like he once did. I don't know what she told him about me. But my name tend to come up with every guy she talks to. I slowed down on talking to her because she didn't talk to me and i respect the situation. Give her space. She doesn't see it that way.

It's weird because i also work with her. So we have a relationship outside of work and at work. But she tend to bring personal feelings from outside of work to work.

I ignored her is how she feels. I work with her too.

I doubt it. She has a guy she's just got in a relqtionship with. Even though she claim they're just friends. They do relaionship things.
