My best friend and I are both geminis--i am actually a taurus/gemini cusp and she is a full blown gem--june 18th. Geminis have been classed as being superficial and shallow people and i do have to somewhat agree that there is some element of truth in this. Though i prefer to say we're highly selective. I have often seen tendencies in my best friend to be shallow when it comes unto men and dating but never with friends. She has been going to school in a foreign country where she met some new friends---she always used to complain to me how out of place and horrible she feels because of how superficial and bitchy these people were towards her and in general. I have always known her to be a people pleaser and to want people to like her because she is very insecure (though for the life of me i cant understand why). So she came back like always for summer holidays but this time some of her friends came along in which she introduced me because we all were hanging out--these girls seemed pretty nice and i genuinely tried to get to know them but obviously she gelled better with them because they were her friends. The most surprising thing though was that she ignored me whenever she was in their presence and completely disregarded my opinions and if i was saying something she would cut me off and talk to one of the other girls--i was completely taken by surprise because i could not believe she was being so rude-to top it all off the entire weekend i was with them she could not care less about my feelings0--acted quite cold towards me and it was apparent she was doign everything to fit in with them. I could not believe this was my best friend. Usually it would be me and her hanging and goign to parties but for the entire time her friends were here they went out and she didnt even call to say we're goign to this party wanna come?? I have started to get a feeling of distrust around her because she called me quite out of the blue asking about my rel with my guy (she knew we were having problems etc) then we spoke online and she's acting like nothing is wrong---she hasnt even brought it up. what worries me is that i can easily cut people off and if we never speak again i would not be torn up--i could cut her off in a heartbeat--but i know that that's not a good thing so i dont know if i shoudl try to save the friendship--i am stubborn though

I'm not a gem...so my way of thinking is probably a lot different then yours but here's my two cents anyway, keep her at a distance. Don't completely cut her off, but get a new best friend because it seems apparent to me that she no longer feels that close to you...sounds like she is only using you to keep tabs on what's going on with the people she left behind.

Lol i like being a Gemini Ike--it's just that unevolved Gems can be quite immature, selfish and super-superficial. And Domino i have tried to talk to her about it and she was acting like she didnt know what i was talking about----acting all bitchy with it too--so i just left it at that--it amazes me how up to this day she hasn't said anything--and she knows that we usually talk almost every day--so she knows something is wrong--she just doesnt care.

it has nothing to do with being shallow..i am often like that,,i hang out a lot with some friend,,then bam im off to other stuff,i may not call for 2 weeks or something,,then i call up and we hang out again.,

Its that we get bored,,and need space,,i actually often thought when i where younger that the "fault" of theese conflicts where in me,,ive realised that i cut off people who get "different" if not calling them every other day..

Most of my closest friends are sags..they dont mind at all if i dont call for a month or whatever,,but if i call them when gotten back from "hiatus" they are just the same way i left them,,,THATS friendship..try doing that to a scorpio...

so my advice,:dont take it personally..explain to her how you feel and so on..and the thing when you hang out in a croud and she didnt *"see"* you,,was probably because she didnt consider those other people to be as close friends to her as you..so she felt like she had to entertain them in some way.

No no i have no problem with the disappearing act--i do it all the time---and it's not personal--but when she's going to have me as her close friend and then have other friends and be bitchy towards me and ignore my comments in favor of theirs because she's trying to fit in now i find that rude and disgusting behavior.

If you like fake friends then go ahead,ditch Gemini!
Gemini's rule friendships & actually we're best at
friendships so if I were your friends & I found out
you dared to even ask such a question,you wouldn't
be my friend anymore & I would wonder how many
other times you betrayed me!!! True Gem's don't
want friends of that nature.

oh' & trust me,your not a Gemini!!! Gem's are not like that in
any way,shape form or fashion!!! When we have a problem with
a friend,asking if we should give up on our friend is rarely
ever considered!!! YOU ARE A TAURUS,no doubt about that!!!
