All people have different views on things and we don't agree a lot of the time. Maybe your friend is voicing her views and not trying to make you abide by hers. Friends talk things out together and it helps to hear anothers view when making a decision. If we all thought the same it would be no fun!

my friends are like that! they always want me to understand them but they dont want to understand me... i want to rebel on them in a point that i will not understand them but still it turns our worst! but i realized that i have no control in them, in what their thinking, in their understanding but i have control to myself, i am the one who can understand them, so be it... if they dont want to understand me, fine with me, i still believe, time will come that they will realize what they doing with me...

Close friends sometimes don't realize that they are making an imposition upon you. that you may not want to do the same as she/he does. I have had to tell my friends flat out NO! Because they refuse to see that I am not willing to do things that they want to do and I don't want to, or I don't agree with somethings that they tell me. They get angry for awhile, but then they get over it and if they don't then they weren't that good of a friend to begin with.

Hi yogeshdhusa! I think your friend is trying to be protective of you that is why it seems she is trying to influence you more to follow her advices. She doesn't want you to get hurt or she may thinks that she knows what is best for you. However, you have to realize too that it is your life and whatever decision you make will affect you more than your friend. And I think that even if you won't follow her advice, and you make a decision that is contrary to hers, she may not agree nor understand but she will respect it. Friends respect each others oipions and views whether they are the same or not. Just my thoughts. Take care and have a nice day!

hello.. when a friend is imposing some other thing to us or is not always on our side, I think that's just normal. But it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand you. It's just that we people have a different point of view. As friends. they are there to listen and understand you but you can't make him/her to do something that's againts their principles that's why at the end it's still you own decision that you should follow then come back to you friend successful or not. I'm sure they will always be ther to listen for you.
