alright so my bestfriend expects so much from me (my attention whenever he asks for it, expects me to say yes whenever he asks me to do something, and he ALWAYS asks me to do things i would never do for any one else, not even my self) but its complicated because he makes me feel sorry for him and so everytime he asks for something i just do it. But i hate it because he doesnt do things for me in return, and the things i (indirectly ask/things you should already do when your someones bestfriend) he doesnt even do. Its like whenever we try to have an important conversation and its time for me to talke he never pays attention or he starts listening to what other people are saying.Then he complains that i never say anything when we talk, but thats only because he never gives me time to talk! hes always the one whos talking.
- i feel like hes using me... -any of you guys have this problem -HELP? any suggestions on how i should fix this problem |

The only one that can use you is yourself. You are the only one who can do things. If you feel like you're getting used, you need to stop. A healthy friendship has to be mutual a give-take thing. If it's give-give you're going to feel used, and eventually you will question your friendship with that person. You should take a little bit.
Try this: CONFRONT HIM! CONFLICT ISN'T A BAD THING! TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL! Dring it up and talk to him about it. If you guys work it out then your will feel good about yourself, and you will probably get treated better. If he refuses to understand, and you feel like he's take take taking... then repeat the process, or stop being friends with him. P.S. JakeKKing has some pretty good advice. |
