[quote=Anonymous]It's okay to have a hard time relating to them. They probably have trouble relating to some of your challenges (me when my straight friends complain about gender difference in their relationships/chore balance/etc). It's okay to say that you're tired and don't have the energy to discuss depressing things right now of course, but know that your friend may distance themselves from you for a while because they seem like this is where their brain is at right now -- they're feeling overwhelmed and terrified about where things are going with their rights and want to talk about it with their friends. However, it's fine if you're not the right friend for that venting. I have toddlers and I know some of my friends are just not the right friends for venting to about baby stuff. But that does mean those friendships cool for a time while you two work through your separate stuff separately since you're not the right supports for each other right now.[/quote]
