Search Results: competitive guys

My best friend and I were friends for 16 years. Our dads are best friends too and go back to when they were teens. She started changing mostly because of a guy. She became a stalker with him too after he broke up with her. She became a s*** talker, about everyone not just me, very competitive, overall nasty person. Always bitter and showing off. It saddened me cause she used to be so much better. She moved out with a friend even though her dad is severely ill at home. That friend is now her new best friend, and didn't even tell me she moved hours away. And guess why she moved there? Not for work, she has been unemployed for months. Not for school, she doesn't want to go to college. Because her ex bf lives 13 min. away now. She talked so much smack about that guy's new girl saying she's a home wrecker but that didn't stop her from sleeping with him again while he was with her. It disappointed me greatly because I'm not the revenge type of person and you never know if the other girl knew about my friend in the first place, but my friend Definitely knew about that girl! So she's been a horrible person not only best friend. I've distanced myself completely and I know she's noticed. My question is: Should I let her figure it out and focus on me and staying positive or should I tell her everything I feel and leave it to her to change? The reason I have that first option is because I was going through a lot, anxiety and depression included, and I finally found a calm and positive place. I don't want to fall back into a dark and nasty path by having a war with her. Sorry for the essay, but these details matter to me...

Just making it clear that this entire question is speaking in general terms, not taking individuals into account.

Many women are sensitive about various things, oftentimes weight or looks. Whereas most guys don't seem like they give much of a crap and are at least somewhat confident regardless. I do know guys who put on airs of obviously fake confidence but I really don't find the majority of guys to be that way.

Why is that? Are guys just better at hiding their insecurities than women? Is it that women's looks are emphasized more, and there's more pressure on females? Or could it be that women are more competitive than men in certain aspects (thus being the root behind their insecurities)?
