Why can't my friends get along?

You know what really bothers me? My friends. I have a group of 5 girls that I went to school with since I was 5 that I am still good friends with. The only problem is all of them hate each other. They all try to out do each other and it drives me nuts.
The one things that really upsets me is for events, and outings I can never hang out with all of them at once. They wont even look at each other.
Do your friends act like this? I wish some people would just wake up and smell the coffee. Life is to short to have a grudge. Why do they have to act like this. I get along with all of them and they know I am friends with the other so they never really say anything to upset me, but it sucks not being able to go out with a group of friends. Instead I have a busy schedule which means every other night I am hanging out solo with a gal pal.
Why is it that people have to try and out do others. They know you like them for who they are why can't they just stop these childish games.

That is human nature especially ladies. They don't seem to treasure friendships and would be out to outdo each other out of jealousies probably. But it is good that you keep the bridge burning and the flame alive by being friends to each and everyone of them without creating tension. They will learn something from you and appreciate your friendly nature.

I can understand what you said. i have also experienced this kind of problems. some of my friends dont come with togther and i have to manage them alone. so that is only the reason we cant enjoy with all in the group at the same time. but the thing is there why should i bother them if they dont want. atleast they have a good relation with me.

Yes, this happens..maybe lack of maturity or some other complexes, which makes them behave like that...but to be good and have good relations with others it needs lot of adjustments, you need to have GIVING attitude, instead of demanding all the time,when they understand this thing, they will find it easy to come out of their egos or whatever problem they have, and soon they will be good to each other, tell them to read this response 
..maybe be they understand a bit 
anyway

yeah i used to have friends like this too, but they knew once they pulled up to my house it stops, i dont play that in or outside of my house. and if we're all are out together they still show that common respect too, and they all knew dont ask me to pick or choose over them.
but we also have this issue with our daughter in law, who for some reason can't and dont even try to get along with my daughter but also cause issues with my daughter and our son as well.
i think some people arent happy unless they are causing trouble. and they are ensure of themself just not able to admit it

sometimes in friendship, there are efforts to influence - affecting one another, one friend with another friend. This is actually a natural thing because it's human nature to give her effect to others ....
