[quote=Anonymous]I can see both sides. I recently tried to talk to a friend about a financial/lifestyle issue and really felt let down because she kept turning the discussion to her financial concerns. I’m not wealthy and probably don’t have more assets than her overall, but our financial situations are different and that clearly triggered some things with her. It was such a bummer that she couldn’t just listen and let me bounce some thoughts off of her. I wouldn’t do that with just anybody - I trust her and respect her opinion. It made me feel really lonely because I’m single and it’s hard for me to find anyone to talk to bluntly about plans I’m making for the future. Even close friends and certain family, people I usually can share things with, can seem jealous if I get into specific details.

I’m not saying that your friend shouldn’t make time to listen to you, OP. You should absolutely ask her to give you some time. But you may want to consider that she doesn’t have many people she can trust to talk to either.[/quote]
