Q&A for How to Make Your Best Friend Jealous of You

You can make your friend jealous by doing the same thing to her.

You still have options such as keeping your clothes clean, try to have good skin, get nice shoes (unless you have uniform shoes). Remember, appearance is only one part of making someone jealous.

Stand up for yourself more often, whether it's in an argument or just when the two of you are deciding on an activity, etc. Assert your opinion if you disagree with her about something. Start small, though, and don't be too bossy or combative.

Focus on yourself and achieving your goals. Don't think about what other people have. Make a list each day of three things you are grateful for. If you have friends who try to make you jealous on purpose, find better friends.

Spend more time with the other girl and don't invite the one you are trying to make jealous. Talk about how much fun the two of you had when you are all together.

It sounds like she is already jealous. You need more friends, don't purposely get people to be jealous of you. You will seem conceited.

Ask her on advice for something. If she thinks seriously and tries to give you good advice or offers to help, she's a good friend. If she just makes a joke or changes the subject to something that affects her, you should find a new friend.

Clothes can be a sign of social status and wealth. Find expensive brand name clothes on sale or borrow them from another friend.

That's not a good idea. You might be mad now, and I get that, but never "repay" someone by being rude. Don't spread rumors. That'll only make your reputation worse than it already is.

Hang out with your other friends. If the two of you are really friends, she'll come around. You can have more than one best friend.

Of course, but don't do it vindictively, to try to make other's jealous. Do it because you're happy you're with him and proud of who he is.

It's pretty simple. You can learn this through her expression and behavior. Try making her laugh if she does, she is not jealous; if she doesnt, she is jealous.

First, talk to her. Try to find out what's going on. If she brushes you off, she's not a good friend and you're better off moving on.

Just don't be her friend. If she is making you feel uncomfortable, its time to move on.

Prepare a dance routine ahead of time, and then organize a play date or sleepover with your friends. Suggest a dance contest and have one of your other friends be the judge. Then you can "wow" your friend with your moves.

If your goal is to have your best friend all to yourself, be careful, because an attempt to ruin her friendship with someone else is likely to backfire. Be the best friend you can be to her, and don't worry if she has other good friends as well. True love is not hoarding someone all for yourself: it's sharing.

If your best friend doesn't seem to care about your feelings, you two should try to talk it out. If that doesn't improve things, you should seek other friends who will be more supportive and nice.

Invite her over for a sleep-over or doing something you both enjoy doing to allow you to bond.

Try to prey on her insecurities. You may also consider being a better person and not trying to make your friend jealous and instead focus on being a better friend.

Do the same thing to her and see how she likes it. Don't let her think your a pushover who goes along with anything she/he wants. Friendships should be give and take and you both should be able to rely on each other.

You should confront them in a kind way and ask them why they are making you jealous. If you prefer to respond in kind, follow the advice in the attached article.

That is not a remotely acceptable way of making your friend jealous, and is not a way a friend (let alone 'best friend') would ever act. The natural and appropriate response on her part would be to be outraged and end the friendship. You should never do anything to your friend that is actually hurtful or that messes up her life. If you care more about your friend being jealous of you than about her happiness and well-being, you have a problem.

Most of us feel jealousy when we feel below someone else in some way. You'll need to make an attempt to look better and be more admired then your ex-BFF. Show off your talents without bragging. If she sees that you are admired while she is not, that may trigger jealousy.

Let your friend know that you are happy about yourself, and don't care about what other people think.

Tell her how you feel. It doesn't sound like she's a very good friend, especially if she's leaving you out on purpose. It sounds like she might just be showing off in front of your other friend, but she shouldn't be doing that. If she continues to treat you like this after you try to talk to her, stop hanging out with these two together, or drop this "BFF" altogether.

Try apologizing. She would rather hear that and it would be easier than going through all the trouble of making her jealous.

You can try to get better grades. For example, if they get an A-, get an A+. You can also just brag about something you have or something you can do that they don't have/can't do. Maybe you're better at sports or maybe you've got a better wardrobe. Use whatever you can.

It's really unhealthy to be actively trying to make people jealous of you, and trying this may ruin your relationship with your friend, so I wouldn't do that.

If she has any siblings, you could do the same and don't pay attention to her.

Tell her the truth. Friendship should be based on honesty and trust. Let her know what you are feeling, and why you intended to make her jealous. If you lie to her, she will eventually figure out the truth, and will feel more hurt as a result.
