All that your girlfriend cares about is her appearance and what others think about her. She is an attention seeker. She will always keep asking you if she is looking okay and if her friends will get jealous when they see her.

When everything in the relationship is about her, she will make you feel like a puppy chasing her around. She will refuse to go on camping trips or family get-togethers because it doesn’t fit with her priorities. She won’t do things she doesn’t like, even if that activity makes you happy.
