10 Sure Signs You Need To Look Out For Mean Girl

Being a girl is not easy. I have four daughters. When I tell people, it always gets me the response “bless your heart” or “you have your hands full.” Since having my first daughter, I practiced a mantra with her be friends with the boys. Now, that may not be the healthiest advice, but from my experience, girls can be like a pack of wolves. When they get together, they ravage anything from limb to limb. Beware the mean girl.

Girls, by nature, are certainly not vicious or mean. I know that. The truth is, it only takes one in the group for it to go bad. Just like one bad cell causing cancer throughout the body, a mean girl does just as much damage to the mind of a woman. Understanding the very distinct signs of the mean girl helps you spot her. When you do, run the other way!

# She always involves herself in drama

Wherever the mean girl goes, drama is likely to follow. Since she has to be the center of attention, she will create a scene or start conflict just to insert herself front and center.

# She always has to be “angry” with someone

If she isn’t angry with someone, then she doesn’t have anything to talk about. Her entire self-esteem relies on being better than you. She only feels good when she makes someone else feel miserable.

# If you don’t do what she wants she taunts you

If you don’t follow what the mean girl wants to do and wants you to do, she keeps at it until she gets what she wants. Taunting, nagging, or just plain coercion are her best friends.

# She uses mind games to keep everyone at odds to swoop in and be the hero

She loves to pit people against one another. The best way to get in close with someone is to create a rift between two people. There’s a saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, or something along those lines. And just to get her way in, the mean girl may even create a rift between you and a good friend.

# She is not above lying, manipulating, or purely making things up

Nothing is out of bounds for the mean girl. She begs, steals, and lies to gain what she wants.Seemingly having no conscience, if the mean girl ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.

# She is caustic to everyone around her

She injects poison into her group. Everything she touches, she makes more miserable. Negative and overpowering, she turns a fun group into a seething room of unhappy, resentful, and angry women. The only company a mean girl finds comfortable? Misery.

# Normally, she keeps a cast of groupies

The mean girl acquires girls to follow her around. Needing people to adore and look up to her, she targets the girls with low self-esteem. She also knows that by hanging out with people who she feels are inferior to her; it makes her appear stronger.

# If she feels threatened, she will take you down

Everyone is so damn afraid of the mean girl, giving her the popularity she craves. People pretend to like her. They go along with her, give whatever they have to her, and agree with whatever she says, all in the hope of protecting themselves from being caught in her mean path.

# She makes claim to parking spots, boys, or people

She deserves the best. If she can’t have it, no one can. If you cross her stake of claim, you better watch out. She’ll never let you forget it.

# Although not the most attractive, she normally has the best looking guy

Mediocre at best, she doesn’t get the guy by being sweet or pretty, she gets him by making him feel powerful. If a guy can date the girl everyone seemingly wants to follow, it makes him the leader of the pack.
