    My best friend gossiped about me behind my back, which really hurt me. I trusted her with something sensitive because I thought she was open minded. To my face she acts like an understanding friend, but behind my back she talks badly about me. What should I do?

    Confront your former friend about her strange behavior. Ask if you've done something wrong to make her feel this way about you. If she can't explain herself, distance yourself from her. It sounds like she is a judgmental person who betrayed your trust

    I read some of my friends text messages with someone else and found out in the messages that she doesn't like me. I'm not supposed to know. What should I do?

    I would simply move on. If someone doesn't like you, I don't see a good reason to try to salvage your friendship with them. It will likely harm your relationship further when you admit that you invaded her privacy to find this out. Seek out people who are interested in being true friends to you.

    You can approach the friend about their behavior, or you can decide that you don't want to be friends with someone who isn't a good friend to you. Think about what feels right to you, and move forward.

    Approach a trusted mutual friend and ask if they can shed any light on this girl. Is she actually talking badly about you or is it in your head? If the girl hasn't given you a reason to distrust her, there may not be one.
