My friend is so lazy.


Question Posted Wednesday January 9 2008, 4:03 pm

My closest friend that I have in school, Maddie is the laziest person I know! I wouldn't call her my best friend because we never hang out on the weekends and do stuff like that, but I'm comfortable enough to tell her who I like and stuff and we talk on the phone. Anyway, she never does things herself. She ALWAYS asks me to go in the lunch line with her, get her a chair to sit on (which is literally 2 feet away), throw out her trash, get her bag, ect. And I used to do all that. Then, yesterday I decided to say no because I'm sick of her using me. She asked me to get in the lunch line with her, I said, "No, it takes two seconds." Then, she blamed me because she couldn't eat because she had no food. (rolls eyes) For the rest of lunch, I didn't talk to her, but then she used my friend Charlie to buy her a water bottle, and she's not even friends with him. That really pissed me off. At the end of lunch, she asked me to get her bag which was 5 inches away from her. I told her to get it herself and she was like, "I can't reach it because of the bar." Then I just rolled my eyes at her and she got it herself. "Like it took that much effort," I said. Anyway, I don't really want to be friends anymore because she uses me to do stuff for her and for her own security. She doesn't actually hang around me because she likes who I am. How do I ditch her? It's hard because like I said, she's one of my closest friends in school.

easy.
tell her what you just told us.

That you feel like you get used.
And you dont want to be her slave anymore.
its good that you stuck up for yourself.
tell her and see if she changes, then if she doesnt then you decide if you want a friend demands for you to do things.


I hope I helped!

It might seem obvious, but believe it or not, Maddie might even sense that you have an issue with her. I think that maybe you should actually tell her that her laziness annoys you, and that could either make her angry with you, or salvage your friendship. If she can't deal with that, then you should slowly stop hanging out with her and hopefully she'll get the idea. If she doesn't really have a lot of friends you should introduce her to another friend, and then slowly drift away. Hope that helps.

Have a nice day.
