writes:Hi All.Am not sure what type of advice I'm hoping to get, but recently I've found that I am getting increasingly annoyed and angered by friends. I'm always there to lend an ear and provide support, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to empathise when they keep creating problems for themselves. Sometimes I think perhaps my annoyance stems from jealousy, but am not sure. Anyway, all the irritation is making me a really bad friend; I find I'm constantly complaining and moaning about friends behind their backs, and it not the type of friend I want to be, and it's not the type of person I want to be either. I don't know how to solve it though. Do I just remove myself from them or should I speak to them about it?

Part of being a friend is being able to tell them that they're annoying you with their constant whining about issues. I get annoyed with some of my friends when they come to me with the same issue and never seriously take my advice into consideration, and continue being hung up over the same guy, etc etc. Just let them know that you don't want to hear about it for a bit. They should understand. And probably know that they're being annoying.
