    What if we have a snob in our Girl Scout troop, and when we do ANY of these things, she is still rude and snobby?
    Community Answer
    Someone who is snobby is insecure inside and is trying to hide behind acting like they are better than others. If someone is rude and snobby, then the best bet is to avoid interacting with her. If she is a rude bully, then tell her that her behavior is unacceptable. You could also speak with your Girl Scout Troop leader and ask her to help with the girl's rudeness.

    Everybody is a snob to me! My family, my friends, even people from the internet. When I say something, I only want an answer! What should I do? I'm always polite!
    Community Answer
    There's nothing you can do about people on the internet. Just ignore them if they're rude. As for your friends and family, try to have a calm and polite conversation with them about the way they're talking to you. Ask them to be more patient with you and answer your questions when you ask them. If your friends are always mistreating you, find better friends!

    I've been dealing with a person who is very snobbish. Whenever I engage in a conversation one on one with him he's nice, but around other people he insults me and hangs me to dry for things I didn't do. What should I do?

    Perhaps 'nice' is not enough? If he's only 'nice' in one-on-one interactions, that seems to be not worth the negativity you get from him in group settings. Even if he's the best friend in the world in private, such behavior in groups would be enough for me to forget about such a person, or at least drastically reduce my personal interactions. My recommendation? Let the friendship fade out, and publicly call him out every time he hangs you out to dry.

    My best friend might be a snob. She is super funny, quirky and a great friend, but sometimes she begins to be a show-off. What can I do?

    Try acting like her a bit. When she asks you to stop, slightly imply she acts like this sometimes.
