ive always been the type of out going person that you ever saw frown. i was the type of person that got along with EVERYONE. but that kinda changed when i started hanging out with my new best friend for the past 2 years. she is sorta well emo i guess you can say shes always depress and stuff now depresses me easy i wish i could be like i used to but i feel like im turning more into my friend and i wanna be the old me again. idk if i need to stop talking to her or what. i mean lately i havnt been talking to her as much just because she like always gets on my case about grammer in stuff and im like wow your not my teacher your my friend geese but yah beside the point i was jus wondering what you all would do about this. i want to be the happy person i used to be, instead of the person i am now that snaps at any minute :-( i hate it

I can relate. My best friend, well former best friend, gave me the same problem. I turned into someone I did not want to be when I was with her. However, now we're not friends and it's a little bit disapointing, but I feel myself turning back to the old me. I don't suggest you ditch your best friend, but try and hang out with other people too. Also, when you say you snap at any moment,when you feel you're about to do that, think of positive things. When you feel negative towards everything and everyone, just try and see the positive in the situation. It really works. [ ii_llove_yuu's advice column | Ask ii_llove_yuu A Question ]

I'm not saying you friend is purposely trying to make you feel miserable but people who are down and negative about life tend to want others to feel that way too. They don't want to hear the sunny side of a scenario, they want you to agree that everything sucks. My advice is that you spend less time with her. It's fine to be friends IF you really enjoy her company and she is a good friend to you, but don't let her problems and negativity consume your life too. In other words, branch out. Encourage her to hang out with you in groups of friends. If she doesn't want to then that's her choice. [ AskCary's advice column | Ask AskCary A Question ]

Whatever the case, try to be her friend but have time with your more pirky/happy friends, that way your "depression" will fade. good luck and just ask me if you need more advice or help!
