I once got into a relationship with a girl who acted just like this.

It turned out she had been lying to me a lot, An insane amount. Especially about her "talents", things to cover her ass, and made up tons of stories to make me feel certain ways to manipulate me to do what she wanted.

Through research on the internet I discovered she fit the exact characteristics of a female sociopath. I discussed about her with a psychiatrist and he also agrees that she was a sociopath.

I'm sorry, but I've done a LOT or research because of that weird relationship I can tell you that your friend is a sociopath (aka Psychopath, Anti-social Personality Disorder. (If you don't know, sociopathy is actually quite common and is not really like it is portrayed in movies or pop culture)

Sociopathic qualities you've mentioned:

- Getting into a relationship quickly
- Saying she's your friend all the time
- Always thinking people are admiring her
- Talking about herself all the time
- Trying to get sympathy all the time
- Attention Seeking
- Exaggeration
- Manipulation
- Being Condescending
- Not thinking about other's feelings or what they might want
- Acting nice all the time, but can suddenly turn cold
- Having mostly "friends" of the opposite sex.
(actually just interested in them for sexual purposes)
- Overall very emotionally leeching

"I was on the mobile phone when she thought it appropriate to repetitively ask me 'what's wrong?'. So. She reacts with haughtily walking off and with a "W-h-a-t-e-v-e-r." hanging in the air."

My friend was also inappropriately asking me whats wrong all the time and always inappropriately paranoid about me leaving her.

With sociopaths the part of the brain that allows them to think of other's emotions doesn't work well if at all. (Sociopaths brains have been show to be different with MRI scans). So in this situation she couldn't think "oh she is on the phone" or "maybe she doesn't want to talk about it". Sociopaths always put what they want to know or do above other's because in their mind that's all the exists.

Sociopaths also like to say they are your friend all the time, but as soon as you do something that is against them (even if very small) they become very cold.

Although I feel bad for sociopaths because they are messed up and there is no cure,
my advice is...
GET AWAY NOW!
It will be difficult thought because she will take it in the worst way possible and try to make you feel bad and try to get sympathy (That is if she actually wants to keep the relationship).

I have some questions...
- Does she seem overly obsessed with certain things
(Always saying shes loves this or that all the time)?
- Does she like to talk about her talents/skills or how she likes to get good grades?
- Does she enjoy bashing others, or like to pick out other people's flaws?
- Does she talk a lot about stories of her past that seemed to be used to make you feel certain ways such as to make you feel sympathetic for her, or make you feel bad about something, and make her look good?
- Does she always have an excuse for something she's done wrong (instead of just saying sorry or fessing up)?
- Does she often use manipulative ways to get you to do something instead of just asking you?
(For example my friend constantly said "Oh man, I have to turn out the lights" (before bed) because she knew with would get me to turn out the lights, thought she denied this was her reason for saying it)
