Are these good enough reasons to stop being friends with someone?

[Avoid the clap]

This girl is obsessed with pictures of herself. She thinks she's a celebrity. She is obsessed with getting followers on twitter and on instagram. She's a total narcissist. I can accept that about her, but it starts to hurt my feelings a bit sometimes when she and I are hanging out and she has her nose in her cell phone the entire time... sometimes we'll even be playing a board game and during everyone else's turn she's not even paying attention to the game; just on her cell phone looking at facebook, instagram, twitter, etc... I can handle that with just a little minor annoyance, but what really bothers me is that she doesn't really like to include me in most of the photos. It makes me feel bad. I brought her home with me to spend the holidays with my family, since she doesn't have one, nor is she in a relationship, nor does she have many other friends... so in order to avoid her being alone, I brought her home with me. She took literally 20 pictures of my family's house, property, photos of her under our tree, etc etc...and posted them.. and even though I was right there, I was only in like 2 photos she posted...out of 20. She'll take pictures of my cat, but not me... maybe I'm a bit of a narcissist myself but it just hurts my feelings that she doesn't include me.

Tonight was the final straw. We spent new years eve together. I bought her and I both a Happy new year tiara... my phone died...so I asked her if she could conserve some of her battery to take one last photo of the two of us on the train.... as we sat on the train, she played on her cell the entire time...even saying "my battery's about to die" to herself...then kept playing [ignoring me]....and the phone, sure enough, died. SO I dropped her off at her house [she doesn't have a car,] and she made a point of taking the tiara with her....and an hour later she posted a compilation of pictures of HERSELF [alone in her room] posing with the tiara...with hash tags like "princess" "royalty" ... O.o wtf??? Okay I get it, she's a total narcissist...and I can accept that about her and be friends with her anyway...but the way she constantly uses me for stuff to post self-indulgent photos and exclude me is just more than I can handle...


Would things like this bother you enough to stop being friends with her?

I wouldn't have been hanging out with someone like that in the first place. Sounds like she's lacking a personality, and is not fun to be around. Get rid of her.

Definately marriage material! You won't even need a photographer!

[imgeminirising]

If you really accepted her Narcissism, you would not be upset about all her Narcisstic behavior. Stop being used if it bothers you..this person is not a real friend, and you're too nice to her. Spend less time with her and you will not feel so used and maybe she will question some of her actions.

Yeah...she sucks. Ditch her. Immediately. Her terrible habits may soak on to you. I actually am a model. Do you know how many pictures I have that I took of myself on FB? Three. From when I was a teenager. This mindless self indulgence repulses me. You say she can't even sit and play a board game with people? She takes photos or your house and pets and not of any with you? That's going a tid bit beyond narcissistic. Ditch her. She probably wont even notice.

Lol. You have trouble forming friendships with others ?

She sounds too self-involved. You've made a noble effort to be her friend. At this point I would just stop including her. If you and friends get together don't bother calling her. Simply stop nurturing the "friendship" and let it die quietly.

She seems like an attention whore who doesn't appreciate the people around her and even "reality".

No, sorry I would stop bothering. And yes it's horrible, but you shouldn't be around people who constantly drag you down. It's actually bad for mental health. You need to be around people who make you smile, talk to you, etc.

Yes. She appears to have a habit addiction to Facebook and other sites of a similar calibre. She sounds extremely self-obsessed and incredibly boring company, so it's difficult to see why you would ever be interested in a friendship with such a person anyway. You note that she has no romantic relationship and very few friends. Surely you can see why. You would be well-advised to extricate yourself from any contact with such an irksome acquaintance.
