    Best way to make others notice someone's true colours?
    Hello, well basically someone in my class who has been a close friend of mine previously believes that he is a lot better than others.

    He asked me one day if i was doing A-Level maths and I said yes and then he said to someone else while I was there, if i dont do further maths then I will be in his class (or something like this), meaning that I wasn't good enough for him, tbf I know he is a lot more clever at maths then me but he didn't really need to say this.

    Then recently he got a TSR account and has been following my main account and has basically told everyone about what I post about and has asked me why I post so much, when I dont see it to do with him at all.

    I basically can't stand him at all, but most of my other friends don't seem to see his true colours and I want to make them aware of this.

    Thank you for reading and sorry if I went on a bit

    These things tend to work themselves out.

    If you don't want people knowing what you post about, post anonymously or don't post stuff that you wouldn't like close associates knowing about.

    As for getting people to see someone's true colours, they just have to work it out for themselves. If you try to show them yourself, it will just make you look like a sad vindictive person. If he's as bad as you say he is, people will work it out for themselves.
