[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who I am very close with who is driving me insane. I need advice on how to approach this issue. My friend is a great friend in many ways and treats my family great and is basically an adopted family member at this point.

The problem with my friend is that he is super needy emotionally. On the flip side he is also very emotionally available as a friend and always there for you when you need him. it’s just that he needs me waaaaay more than I need him. He is constantly expressing his feelings to me and I’m emotionally drained. it’s stuff like….when you did this, I felt this. [b]he constantly seeks high forms of intimacy and reminds me that I’m not being available to him enough.[/b] I’m a parent and have a busy job and in general have much more on my plate than him. In addition I’m an introvert and just naturally don’t desire the level of closeness he is always pressuring me about.

How would you approach this?[/quote]

The bolded sounds pretty manipulative on the part of your friend.  You say you aren't open for the intimacy and he says you are a bad person/bad friend?[/quote]
