I have a hard time having friendships with people who are “needy” — always wanting to be included in everything, butting into conversations, etc. I have a good friend who frequently will comment on posts I make about doing something with a different friend saying “Really?” or “You went without me?”

Yesterday I went to a spa about 1.5 hours away with a mutual friend. She texted me saying, “I can’t believe you went to ____ without me 😢 “

She always acts like she’s joking but obviously there’s some truth to it and her feelings are hurt.. but it’s annoying to me. We’re middle aged women. We can hang out with friends solo or in groups, and it shouldn’t be a huge issue. Acting like this is SUCH a turn off for me.

I could never, what are we in HS. I recently had a falling out with whom I thought was a friend (known her for about 9 years).
I was having such a hard time accepting it, I was trying to maybe justify her actions, I was giving her the benefit of the doubt, but in those weeks I asked God to give me a sign that me cutting her off was for the best, he did not disappoint, I got TWO huge signs when I least expected it.

Sometimes friendships just end, they don't really "serve a purpose" if that makes sense into our lives anymore and that's OK.

I have a friend a bit like this. Before I had 3 kids, I could have 3 of my friends visit at the same time with their kids bc we had an extra room. Now that I have 3 kids, 1 of my friends just isn’t understanding I don’t have room in my house now for all the extra people because we’re a bedroom short. It’s so obnoxious.

I’ve cut people off for being this level of needy. Or the ones that constantly need to be texting you because they are “bored” but never want to do anything so they make it so you are their only source of entertainment.

I feel like I’m dating them and it’s too weird.

I really like her so I don’t want to cut her off. Plus we work together so that would tough. I think I just need to talk to her about it. Ignoring her comments/texts when she says that stuff hasn’t helped the problem.

@ekko, 100%. In my situation, I had talked to the person but it didn’t change and their relationship wasn’t benefitting either of us so I chose to step away. I hope talking with her will change her behavior!

It's absolutely annoying. It's worse when the person always asking never plans anything and just waits for an invite 😑

I've started distancing myself from someone like this, but this person always makes anything and everything about them, constantly talks about themselves. Drives me mad.

I hear you. It's that behavior right there that makes you not want to include her. She's draining.
