My best friend vents to me constantly but whenever I try to offer advise I get told it's easy for me to say and then she shuts down or argues with EVERYTHING I say (no matter how big or small the problem is). Why ask me for advice if you're going to treat me like I'm an idiot and not talking from experience (which I am!) ?!?

You should be honest with your friend. I had a friend last year who constantly called me stupid, everytime i spoke. It really got to me, i ended up snapping at her one day and yelling at her. Telling her than im not stupid and her calling me it does get to me. She hadn't realised that what she had been saying was hurtful, she still sometimes says things that i could take the wrong way but she no longer does it as often.
ReplyMy guess is that your friend has an answer that they want to hear, and the advice you give isn't what they want to hear. It's easier to take out frustrations on another than it is to look inward to figure something out.

Thank you again for the advice!
ReplyThey are probably just looking to vent freely. Don’t take it personally. If anything bring it up to them when they are calm and thinking clearly and tell them how you feel
