Dear Queenie,
One of the guys in a group I hang out with never has anything nice to say about anything unless he had something to do with it. I know he is rather insecure and I want to stay on good terms with him, but his attitude is getting tiresome.
Queenie, should I talk to him about all this?—Fed-up friend
Dear Friend,
Because you are aware of his insecurity, try to be kind. When he insults you, just tell him that you know that he hates to give anyone a compliment, but you are still his friend.
