How should I deal with a friend who doesn’t think of me as an important person in their life, while they’re very important to me?
This has happened to me many times and oh my god! It never gets easier and I don’t think there’s a single certain way to deal with it. It depends on each person and the circumstances and it’s hard to know what to do.Is it because they have someone they consider a closer friend? I’ve had my best friend sort of drift away from me because their new best friend took my place, but I never replaced them. I was stuck trying to fight for their attention, basically begging for them to like me again. The best thing to do is just accept that they don’t see your worth and walk away. This is a toxic friendship. It’s a two way street and both people should value the other and put in equal amounts of effort.Maybe they’re going through a tough time and are isolating themselves? Make sure they’re okay and let them know you’re there for them.Maybe you guys have just grown apart and they want to move on and you don’t. Again, just accept this and move on. It hurts a lot to lose a friend, but sometimes it’s the best thing to do.Either way, no matter the reason, make sure you talk to them. It might be uncomfortable and awkward for you, but communication can really help. I’m so bad at talking about my feelings and calling people out and in turn I’ve lost friends over it because I was too scared to communicate my feelings. But you really gotta let them know how you’re feeling about your relationship. If it’s really not working, you gotta move on. It’s hard but you will one day make good friends that will really treat you well!
How do you deal with a friend who doesn't care?
Everything happens for an reason.There might be something that your friends don't like. You need to figure it out by taking it in poistive way.The hardest job here is your friends will not going to tell you.Friends always care and best friends care most. Your closest and dearest one will also care.Have a look around your friends and see who they are? Bestie? Friends? Closest one?If they are just a normal casual friend then I think you should not expect care from them. Just move on.If they are bestiee or dearest one. Then figure out whats wrong. Talk with them. Get a clue.and lastlyBe kind for No reason.Edits are welcome.
How do I deal with a friend, who doesn't respect me?
honestly there is no respect in friendship .HEAR ME OUT FIRST!!!I have a 3 best friends and believe me we insult wash other in most horrifying way possible and yes that includes profanities too.now respecting someone and giving someone their privacy are two different things. decide firstif it's privacy just ask your friend in a polite manner or you can just buy a chocolate and throw it at her/him in an mischevioud way ofcorse(not too rudely) then laugh and say “hey! take this be happy and leave my phone(or anything else) alone” ,and further even add,”yes I am bribing you”, and laugh it off.now respect is earned not snatched.have you earned it?have you ever come out of the way to help your friend really?have you ever walked up to them and tell them how much they really mean to you? or ever consoled them at 3? or even gave them study(or anything else) tips or anything else if you are a guy, I am apologize for I am saying this from a girls point of view.yes, you see these small things make big differences and hey who cares if they respect you or not at the end of the day they are like you me second parents kicking you for your bad habits and punishing you for not completing your work.those are my thoughts because I believe a friend is like a sibling, once the bonding is formed you can actually fight,snatch and bicker like dogs and still be besties.
How would you deal with a "Friend" who doesn't reciprocate?
Decide if you can 'miss' what you invest in your friendship, or if you need more. Then you can talk about that with your friend, that you need more, and based on that, you can decide if you guys should be friends, or maybe just acquaintances.
How do you deal with a friend who doesn't watch her wild kids and they are endangering yours?
that's funny you would ask this one. I was just at a friends house who had company like that. (not me no kids on my end yet) her son is the only child. He is POLITE, kind, gentle, and a boy who runs around. The other persons kids are older, and bigger then he is like 6 and 3. he's 2. while they was there they was running all over the place, in and out of her fridge she was constantly havin to put things back or tell them to stop something so on so on. she finally asked me to watch the kids and took her friend into another room and said "I'm not tryin to hurt your feelings or insult you. We have different rules here. I do not allow my child to jump on the bed, hit or take toys away from other kids like it's been done to him in his home today. I do not appericate you allowin your child in my fridge and when I said no you did not say no also, I love you you are a part of our family but if you cannot get your children to behave and stop throwing, hitting and taking toys from each other and jumping on my furn. i will have to ask you not to bring your children to my home or around them." yes she was upset at first and left when she cooled off enough to drive but ended up callin back and appologizing for the behavior....It's like she told me today "I may be over protective but i cannot replace my kids nor her kids if they was to get hurt runnin wild." I agree with her so try pullin her to one side or when they're takin the toys away from your child or picking him up ask the parents to say something. Remind them that you don't want to be the bad guy with them cause they're not your kids and if they don't take action then then speak up and do what you have to to keep your family safe and i'm sorry if that means her cryin because you hurt her feelings. Also might want to try writing a letter if you don't want to talk to her about it give it to her and at the end of it say i would be more then happy to talk to you when you think we can set up ground rules for OUR families to be together. Worse comes to worse you might lose her as a friend and i'm so sorry if you do but you will keep your family safe. Just let her know that you're not puttin her parenting down Might want to also remind her of the age and strength differences.
How do I deal with a friend who doesn't consider me a friend?
You could try to spend more time talking with them in group settings or casual settings in general and see if you become closer with them. If they still don’t consider you a friend after a few months and you’ve had a certain amount of conversations where you’ve gotten to know each other better or where you just felt like you both got along well, distance yourself.Accept that you can’t force friendships and it would be a disservice to you to devote more energy to someone who won’t do the same.
How do you deal with a friend who doesn't want you to go to her wedding because you're overweight?
You now know something. She really is not a ‘friend’ and you should blow her off.And this might be a motivating moment to get some help in losing it. I know that is easier said than done. I am in a tough spot right now recovering from an accident and I cannot easily exercise so I have gained weight. Which given that I am injured is a really bad thing. You may well be facing similar issues. I really don’t know. I wish you the best of luck. I know how hard this all is.But back to that first thing. Block her on social media. Let mutual friends know why. And move on. Life is too short to deal with assholes like her. And really her wedding is already going to be ugly enough poor dear, she is in it after all…Hugs,Thorne
How do you deal with a friend that doesn't remember you?
Me and Kevin...childhood friends. We were best friends since kindergarten. I would tell him everything because he was the one I could trust the most. After 1st grade, he transferred without saying good-bye. I was praying to God that I will see him again. And I did in 6th grade, I was so happy. We hung out and we were best friends allover again. Then 7th grade came. He doesn't answer when I contact him and at school I said hi he ignores me like a complete stranger. I told my friends to ask him what's wrong. My friend had told me that Kevin doesn't remember me. I almost cried. Since before that day, I never became really happy. How should I deal with this? I keep seeing him around school he has every single one of my lunches. What should I do? Please help me.
How do I deal with a friend who doesn't consider me important to him but I consider him important to me?
Are you suggesting that your value of him is predicated on his value of you? You need to decide, which is it? Is the reason you found him important in the first place no longer valid or was it because you felt you had to reciprocate the feeling?“Authenticity means that you must do what you do the way you do it and allow everyone else the same courtesy.” ~ Iyanla Vanzant
