Do you have things that bother you about your best / closest friends? Do you choose to ignore it?

Yes. They’re not really ambitious or smart. I find myself feeling like I’m outgrowing them. I want to branch out and make new friends. I still want to be friends though, I just want to be around people that inspire me more.

@E1 Exactly!!

Yea, it bothers me that my friends dont exist. It is getting quite old.

My best friend grew up rich and has a privileged sense of “responsibility”. So she went off to a super expensive university with a somewhat useless degree, and now does something similar to “influencing” on her parents’ dime. Nothing wrong with that, right?

The annoying part, however, was her constant *criticism* of people [like me] who never chose to “follow their heart and passions”. “How can someone live in a cubicle all day? That is not living life!” I mean 🙄 yeah girl, welcome to the real world. This is what a 401k looks like.

We are still best friends but this has led to countless micro dramas throughout our 27 year friendship.

One of my best friends belittles everything I do thats not "normal" to her. Instead of being supportive and asking me why I'm doing what I'm doing she'll say "you're a weirdo" or "that sounds like a you problem." I know she doesn't mean it in a harmful way, but im always there for her and always supporting her, and it feels like I don't have that from her.

i would not be a friend with someone who is
not supportive of you. it bothers you, why to be in a friendship that makes you question it? You seem to be a good friend and you deserve a good one for yourself.

Yeah for sure...and then I wonder what they might find annoying about me!

Yes. One of friends is really insecure about herself (the way she looks and just everything about her life) and i feel like when i share the happy things happening in my life, her reaction to hearing about it is really dry and envious. She also is super reserved and always cancels on plans but then will complain about feeling left out.

Depends. If it’s something that doesn’t genuinely affect my life but bugs me (ie my best friend isn’t good at planning ahead and it irritates me) then no... they are my friend and you are not required to be friends with that person if you don’t like them. If it’s something that hurts my feelings (ie, she accidentally flakes on me because she’s a bit of an airhead) then yes because it is a direct cause of her personality that hurt my feelings so I have an adult conversation with her.
