I’m so glad to read this. I’ve been feeling this way lately and it’s literally become more irritating than ever. I’m to the point I almost roll my eyes and close off. What the? I mean, I’ll try to talk about something and change the subject from the consistent discussions about my friend’s and their issues and all they do is completely…. and I mean *completely* ignore what new topic I bring up and go back to something else~ For example.. the other day I changed the subject for a moment to my dilemna (as a joke) of what to do with my new tax dollars.. “Do I try to buy a camara…. or a surf board?” What would you do” and my friends completely ignored it and told me something absolutely unrelated to do. I can’t believe it. It’s so dang boring for me! No more one-sided conversations~

I basically am having to just recluster my group of friends to the people who actually bring something to the table other than their “blab about me” fest. haahaa. Who needs to be drained any longer~

thanks for this blog… it was soooo needed.

Beautiful site and well said.

Love you guys.

By the way, the pool is almost open. With weather like it is now, it won’t be long.

I think everyone faces this and on some days you just can’t take it. It’s one thing to have a problem and ask for guidance but it’s frustrating when you find that your friend or loved one does not change that which needs to be changed. Very well said and I’ll be sure to stop by your new blog.

I’m someone that often has complete strangers walk up and tell me their troubles/problems.
I know I’m a very patient person, but I often come away very drained. I try not to offer advice, as I really don’t know the majority, and often all I could ever offer would be only a ‘Bandaid’.

Now, I’m starting to make a stand and point out that only they can reach a solution and sometimes leave them with some questions they should be answering.

I find myself in that situation more often than not. It seems that most of my “friends” only care about one subject…”themselves”. I have tried throughout the last few years, to avoid any more relationships that are exactly like that. I have no more room or time left to give to these so called friends of mine. It is just to draining, dealing with their life drama. Glad to know that others are in the same boat, and feel the same way as I do. Thanks for sharing that with us. ~ Christina

Wow, very well said William.
I couldn’t have agreed with you more and can relate to this as well.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

All My Best!
