Draining Friend!

I have a friend who is just Debbie Downer. You know the kind that everything is BAD all the time, there is nothing ever good in the world or in her life! I am about to cut it off && forget her since I am kinda a happy person.

Who has time for drama? who needs it? Not you. Not me. Be with cool people and not with peeps that are gonna make you feel bad all of the time.

Limit the amount of time you spend with her since her bad mood will eventually rub off on you and wouldn't that be awful?! Lynda

No one needs this in their life. Why be with someone sad and depressed when you can be with someone happy and upbeat and ready for some fun. Ditch the friendship.

Friendships should be 50/50 and while it is okay to help someone out when they are a bit depressed, longlasting depression or negativity is more than you can handle and it is not your responsibility. Steph

Try to work with her to change her attitude, bur prepare for resistences. If she is too burdensome, then find a few new friends. David

At least talk to her about these issues -- I have had friends just like this and spending time with them was simply EXHAUSTING! And certainly not any fun. If she does not change then you need to change...and not spend time with her. Jess

One of you has a stronger personality than the other. If it is her, get away from her, she will only drag you down but if you have the stronger personality, then start lifting her up. In fact, tell her that your tired of being a downer all the time (blame it on yourself to get her to go along with you). Tell her that from how on, you think the two of you should stop with the negativism and start looking at things in a more positive light. Ask her to monitor you to catch you when you're being a downer. Do the same for her. She will think it's a partnership when you will know that you are trying to lift her up. It will be hard work but it is possible. VOE
