We are childhood friend and reconnected back for 7 years now. Throughout this 7 years I heard nothing but her venting, drama, baby daddy, ex, new men issues. Of course, I had fun hanging out with her but recently I feel her issues are just same old same old. Whenever we hang out I treated 80% of the time because she always broke.
I listen, I gave advices and nothing is improving. I feel this is going nowhere and I 'm tired of hearing same dramas so I take a break from her slowly. She started to ask questions and I told her nicely without the real reason..I'm busy. When she started to push my button I told the truth and she said I'm not being there for her. All I need to do is just listen. Eerrr no! I know she is hurt but I'm done listening! It is like she OD me with her dramas. I feel so free after taking a break from her. Should I handle it differently?
Nope. Your telling friend how you feel and how they are making you feel. But, let me add this; delivery.
I have a friend who has such a beautiful way with words.
Then I have a friend who tells it like it is, no pretty words.
I value them both. I enjoy their company for different reasons, at different times of my life.
You do you.
Her drama is always going to be there.
She loves it. She creates it. Obviously, you got tired of being the trapped audience for the soap opera that stars her - as would most people. You aren't going to changer her - so you want to get far away from it, because it will drag you down emotionally. In addition, she likes that you are paying the bill for being that trapped audience. "You aren't there for her"? She will never be there for you. It's a one-sided relationship.

You are right, I never ask for her help since I don't have that dramatic life. She said it is sad that I let this itsy bitsy small things ruin our friendship. I start to realize now people are who they are because of their choices in life.
I'm more happier now when I can break free from her haha
