Re: Overly-dependent friend?
(Anonymous) 2014-03-19 12:50 am (UTC)(link)You can't be her entire support system. You need to be able to say, "Hey, I care about you but I can't be a good listener right now."
One thing I used to do (still kinda do sometimes) is expect my friends to know what I needed from them. So I'd tell them all my problems and they'd give me advice, and I'd get mad at them because I didn't WANT advice. I just wanted someone to listen. Or to help distract me. So, try asking her what she needs. "Will a distraction help? We can watch a movie if you want."
To recap:
1. Tell her how she's making you feel.
2. Set boundaries.
3. Offer alternate methods of helping.
Most importantly, you cannot be her entire support system. Tell her that. Tell her that whenever you need to.
