[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, these are helpful; keep them coming. And yes I should have specified, I already figured I couldn't change her. People don't really change when forced. I have to change myself. I agree that I should make myself less available.

To the PP at 22:39, when you started sticking to your boundaries, how did your close friend react - did she threaten to end the friendship? Did she accept it? Do you still have closeness?[/quote]

It's FINE. She just vents through the guilt trips and then it's over. We're still close, and she never threatens to end the friendship (who would do that? that's so immature - something I'd expect from a second grader). Often she's asking for favors via text, so I say "Sorry, can't do it!" and she guilt trips, and I generally ignore that text. No big deal.

May I gently suggest you branch out and get some more friendships? Because you need higher self-esteem. And I think you'll feel better about yourself if all your eggs are not in one friend-basket, you know?[/quote]
