[quote=Anonymous]Pp here with the experience of my friend. I think the bolded part is common in all close relationships.  But keep in mind that the way you think you're a perfect friend may actually be annoying to others.  One of my best friends has a habit of completely getting involved if I'm having a tough time. If I share with her, she'll call/ text/ send emails that she's thinking of me, has been thinking about ways to improve the situation, and even just "this should cheer you up" things.  It was really sweet but also totally suffocating!   It took me years to work up the guts to tell her to please back down.

Anyways, 2 things.  I think low self esteem can cause us to concentrate on the negatives.  "I'm not good enough which is why she treats me like crap" when really she's not.

Second, people have different personalities.  Most people react to others how they themselves would want to be treated.  If you need something different, speak up!  People aren't mind readers!![/quote]
