Re: Overly-dependent friend?

[(Anonymous)]

Are you me? I've been in exactly this situation before.

Unfortunately, there may not be an easy answer. What you have to remember is that her emotional and mental well-being are not your responsibility. It isn't fair to place that kind of burden on someone's shoulders, and if you don't want to bear it, then you shouldn't. It's possible she'll be hurt (the girl in my situation took it as a personal attack and went on the defensive, trying to guilt me out of it), but you have your own well-being to tend to-- and she's treating you as a sounding board instead of a person. It's not out of any malice; there are so many people that have nothing but good intentions but end up creating toxic situations.

I would say, gently inform her that you do need space. That's a reasonable request. If she does take it badly, please remember that it isn't your fault, and the onus is not on you to "make it better." Best friends should be able to have distance between them and still have a deep connection.
