how do you be a friend when..........

Try turning the tables on them. In my situations, it usually works for me anyway :) People naturally like to be right, so they may not even know they are doing it. If turning the tables on them doesnt work, maybe it's time to try a different firendship =/. Friendship takes 2 people

I know the feeling. A childhood friend of mine has developed an anti-social behaviour (she doesn't want to go out of her house and she thinks everyone is against her). I've tried to help her, to make her go out, but she's unreasonable an she blames me of silly faults. Last time I send her an SMS to invite her to a party but she answered rudely that she will call me when she wants to go out with me but she has never called me. Guess some people don't understand when others want to help them.

You dont, you move on to the next person in your friendship line and see if they have more common sense. Lol at least that is what i would do as long as the person was a new friend, and not an old friend, who cares. not like you have any attatchment to them right ?

You just be there for them, listen to what they say, and take it with a grain of salt. There is no need for you to help all your friends. All you have to do is to nod your head when they tell you how great they are. Also what you can do is to tell if you are having difficulties. Sometimes she might want to help you and does not want you to help her. Some people have been told they have been wrong all their lives, that even when they are wrong, they say they are right. Your friend could be that type.

When someone is like that there's really nothing you can do. If they're "always right" they'll just have to learn the hard way. I guess the way to be a good friend to someone like that is to simply be there to pick up the pieces if needed and know in your own heart you did all you could. Annie

such kind of arrogent friends learn through experiences..always proide them suggestions and guidiance regarding the issues the want to solve...we all know that they won't listen...but if u r providing the correct guidance remember time teaches everyone and would realise the importance of ur guidance and views at that time....so just chill and kep sharing ur views with them..

It is really hard to help someone if they are not to take your help or to help yourself. I have friends like that and after a while hard you to even try to help.
