Stuck in the middle..


Question Posted Tuesday August 24 2004, 5:33 pm

My best friend and I have known each other for a few years. Since we started high school, however, she has become really needy. She will "like" a guy but she won't do anything about it..then she'll blame them for not asking her out. It becomes the focus of her life and she gets really depressed if the guy doesn't 'pay her enough attention'. I've tried telling her that guys aren't the only thing in life and that her friends love her, etc..but she wont believe it and just uses it to show how 'unloved' and 'unlistened to' she is. What do I do? I don't want to end the friendship, but I'm tired of feeling used.

i think you should tell her that she needs to stop acting this way, and tell her that you are going to leave her alone for a week or two and not talk to her and let her think about this, and tell her that she needs to understand what you are trying to say to her, and if she cant then you aren't going to be the one to help her every single time with all of the guys that you like, because thats not fair to you!

Ok you sound like a really great friend and i think this chic is lucky that you care so much about her! I think that you need to stop babyin her because she likes the attention! Guys arent always worried about girls, i know i cant believe that either but its true, they do think about other stuff, just tell her that its her fault and tell her to be a little more outgoing and if she wants this boy bad enough then she could at least attempt to real him in! Good luck- :*:SaRa:*:

sit her down and have a talk wit her. Tell her its NoT the guys fault, becuz they dont always make the first move. If she doesnt do anything, how will they even know she likes them? And yes, continue telling her that there are much better things in life then boys...like yur friends. U'll eventually lose interest in a boy, but friends are forever. And tell her nicely that u wish she'd stop moping around feeling sorry for herself, and actually get up and go do sumthin about it! Hope i helped ya!

Tell her that if guys are the most important thing to her then she should be able to talk to them and ask one out. If she can't do it obviously they're not what should be focused on the most. It's not her fault that she feels this way though. My friend does it too only she has a boyfriend. She spends all the time in the world with him and neglects her friends. She didn't get it till, actually, this morning when I explained it to her and she burst into tears saying how sorry she was and how she got it now. So just make sure you explain yourself thoroughly.
