How To Make Your Friend Listen To You

My friend doesn't listen to me?

She's a good friend but it seems like every time i have
a problem she ignores it and just talks about her problems.
Once she was talking about her ex-boyfriend and i had a similar
problem with my ex-boyfriend too so i started talking to her about it and she's like "Huh who's that"
I had already mentioned who he was before and it made me angry that she didn't pay attention to me when i had said it
It's really irritating and im quite sure she knows what she's doing
it's almost like she purposely doesn't give ****

Any advice on what i can tell her?

Why do girls listen to their friends?

Why do you need your friends approval on a guy? If he seems pretty decent then what is there to loose? Go on date with him and get to know him.

Half the time girls have lost good chances of bagging an amazing guy only because they took their friends bad, hateful advice.

My friends make fun of the music I listen to?

they all listen to hip hop and rap music nowadays by the way we are in high school. I listen to rock and metal and they judge me for it saying my music sucks

Does my music suck? Is their music better than mine?

I have a friend who doesn't listen to my advice?

i don't think she should go out with him, not anymore, but she really liked him and she wouldn't ask him out, now i'm pretty sure he's just a player, he wouldn't even ask her out. and i'm a really good friend to her, but she's a spoiled brat. her dad is rich, so she gets what she wants, she's never been grounded, even though she almost set her house on fire when i was over and she was playing with matches while i was working on our project, she thinks that because her parents let her have whatever she wants, then she should get whatever she wants from everyone. she also thinks that all of her problems are worse than all of the problems that you have or had... she's just a brat

My friends don't listen to me when I talk?

Sometimes they do but to be honest not a day goes by that I don't get frustrated about my "friends" interrupting me to say something stupid like "Oh theres that person!" and this happens multiple times in a day and I am fed up. My "friend" used to not be this way but after being friends with her for a while I notice when we're around are other friend she will say things that aren't so nice about me and not give a rats *** that I'm there or trying to talk to her. She's too interested in the other person but back to the point. I don't know if I'm boring or if I have a weak voice but this always happens to me. When I talk others tend not to listen. Especially that friend of mine. For example today I cannot count how many times she interrupted me while I'm telling a story and it's not to talk about herself or anything she's just paying attention to other people who aren't even talking to her! and It's not like I don't let her speak she has plenty of time to and she doesn't really talk to me as much as she used to but yet she wants to talk away when she's with the other girl. I only have a few friends and I'm shy around people I don't know. I haven't tried to talk to her about it but I have made comments saying " Oh my god you're worse than my mom I can't even finish a sentence without you interrupting me" I
m not sure if she was listening when I said that but she still does it and to be honest it makes me feel so disrespected and worthless. What should I do to fix this problem? Should I make my voice loud and powerful? Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I know it's horribly long.

How can you tell your friend that you are tired of listening to her?

problem is, telling her that in so many words is… unfriendly.but you shouldn’t be expected to listen to hours of babble.how bad is this problem? is she draining your energy by talking incessantly about herself and her problems in a way that can be exhausting to remain attentive during, do you feel that you are being infringed upon by being expected to provide her with an audience or sympathetic ear at any time she thinks she needs one? that can be a serious problem. it’s not easy to enforce a boundary with such a person, but it can be done. is this person a dear friend who is just particularly chatty? do you otherwise enjoy being with this friend or is she coming across as demanding a lot from you?the difference between these two types is important to understand, in deciding how to tell her what you need.if you really prize her friendship, you likely want to remain friends with this person. in telling her how you feel, make it about your needs, and use some diplomacy.you can say things like, “I feel a bit tired right now. I would like to get off the phone.” or, “I think I’d like to just watch this movie now, or listen to this music now” or, “I see someone I haven’t seen in a while, I’m going to go and talk to them, pardon me.”with the more high maintenance demanding type of friend you may have to repeat your statement defending your right to have a break from her style of talking. If she doesn’t listen first time, say it again, she should get the idea.good luck.

What do you do when your friends judge you but don't listen to you?

I simply observe them and try to figure out are they worth being a friend and don’t relate myself from baseless judgements . As well as you can try to figure out is there anything which you can improve on yourself if they seems to be genuinely true.But don’t try to please your friends by trying hard to make them listen to you.Have enough confidence on yourself and don’t allow anyone affect your self esteem.PEACE

My friend thinks I listen to bad music?

My friend thinks that the music i listen to is bad and depressing. I am not forcing my music taste on her, but if she ever hears the music that i'm listening to she just thinks that im crazy. And i think she is absolutely insane, here is why:
the music i listen to:
The Doors, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Who, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, The Stooges, The Ramones (sometimes), Mando Diao, The Animals, Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Alice In Chains, The Beatles... Roling Stones...Lead Belly........... and on...
The music she listens to:
Michael buble, Colbie Caillat, John Mayer, Lady Gaga, Beyonce (she is good), Rihanna, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift... basically everything mainstream, and she also listens to people who make song like Colbie Caillat, with those slow songs on acoustic.... Also, on American idol season 8, she wanted Kris Allen to win, instead of Adam Lambert.... wow

So my real question is: how can i Really get it into her that i listen to good music? and it is not depressing!!!!! oh and im only 13, i know it says that im older on my profile....

How do I make my ex listen to me?

The thing is, you have to make her feel that you are listening to her, you like her for who she is (a very talkative girl and a bit bossy though she would never admit to it) and she is the one making decisions.Situation[Picking which restaurant to dine at]She: I don't want to go to that restaurant. It is no good at all. I can't understand why people love it so much. The bloggers must have gotten paid from all that. I really.... (1000 words deleted)You: Let's just go to ABC restaurant. It seems....She: Wait. I haven't finished.You: (muted)She: I really think they ought to stop advertising in such way. No one is going to believe advertisement anymore. Why waste the money then?You: (nothing to say) (Why don't you listen to me and get to a good restaurant????????????WTF is happening?!?!?!?!?)Solution[Picking which restaurant to dine at]She: I don't want to go to that restaurant. It is no good at all... Notes: interrupt at the moment she breathes in airYou: ABC restaurant is a lot better. Notes: keep your sentence precise and concise. Short sentences and a confident delivery catch attention very well. Even if she doesn't want to listen to you, you have simply blurted out the sentence and she HEARD.If she wants to continue with her speech, let her continue. From time to time, interrupt her with a short sentence. She won't have a good reason to be angry because you didn't stop her from speaking or ask her to stop. After all, you have simply told her what you think. She would think that you are talking to her, listening to her and really understand her.
