How do you deal with friends who always complain and always make everything so difficult in their life? I've dealt with several friends over the years who always try and make the friendship about their problems. I don't know. I really to try and make the friendship work but I feel as though I need to draw a line in the sand with that. I don't think a friendship should be about just one person's problems. There's nothing wrong in helping each other but it when turns into something that is consuming the entire friendship then it becomes a problem for me. It's just very weird.

I am going through this now with somebody.

 

One technique is to ask them if they want you to brainstorm with them for solutions or if they just want you to listen while they vent.
