Thank you!

Thank you so much!

don't do that, of course you should be able to talk about these things with your friends. it would be a problem if you only talked about the negative stuff.

i do hope things get better for you :)

see, now this is the kind of advice i came looking for, thanks my guy!

edit : gonna try this tomorrow and will let you know if it worked

yep. sounding board. they just want to engage in the most unproductive of conversations, ALL THE TIME.

and yes that is the plan, limiting my time around them and basically avoiding them till they get the hint.

this is an excellent strategy! and once I'm out of uni and have my own place and job I'm also going to become that cranky grown-ass woman. thank you.

we're going to be living in close quarters for a long time, literally, her dorm room is next to mine. i don't want to make things awkward.

i needed to hear that. thank you.

i know i should because that's the right thing to do but they severely lack maturity and would probably not take it as well as you did.

you might think im being presumptuous here but I've been through something similar before and i know from experience that confrontational approach does not work well when the person in question has a very childish way of thinking and even more childish way of responding

yeah thats what I'm going to do

they are draining because they always want to talk about whatever drama is going on in their life, and they don't give two shits about me or my life. im just someone they use and use.

their dorm room is next to mine and they consider me to be a very close friend. we have been friends for a few months
