We all have friends or best friends and sometimes we just don't feel like talking to them or seeing them on certain days that id well how I feel sometimes I am not sure what you guys think or have felt this way before about your friends but today is Sunday and me and my husband and family like to be alone on Sundays a day of rest for us and to spend time together, And she called and I did not answer I mean I already talked to her yesterday! And usually when she calls she wants to borrow money or needs help with something which I have no $$ and usually if it isn't that she just wants to talk about things I really don't care about it is just a blah blah blah conversation where she does most of the talking needless to say I did not answer the phone and will not! he he he L.O.L. Do you experience anything like this with your friends?

I have several good friends, but I don´t like to have them around all the time. And when my husband was alive I spent less time with them than what I spend now. Maybe you could tell your friend that your husband and you like to spend Sundays together, so that neither of you will be available then for other people.

We have told her several times for years and it is like she doesn't listen at times and really never has she knows we don't like to be bothered on Sundays but it does not stop her from calling we have even turned all the lights off and put the car in the gagage at times just to be alonr.

I think it´s time to be rude to her then as she will not understand nice words. She doesn´t look like a friend but more like a nuisance. There are several ways to stop befriending people you don´t want anymore in your life.

I have one friend that lives in Atlanta and he will call me sometimes and want to just yack. I don't usually answer the phone because he has one of those cheap phones and I can't hear him very well on it. It is very frustrating. And as far as your situation goes I would make sure your friend knows that Sundays are your family days and you don't answer the phone or makes plans with others. I think if this person is a true friend she will understand and respect that.

I would never answer the phone then. If you do it tells her it is really okay to call on Sundays. Like dealing with kids. You have to be consistant.

I think that we all have, or, at least have had one friend like this one of yours, maybe worst, we probably have been such friend for someone else, since, we can never be sure about what other guys really think of us. I think that the best is to surrounds only with people we feel confortable with, and, when this can not be possible, be patient and understanding with this type of person.

It is hard to tell anymore who your real friends are and the sad thing is that it can take years to find out how they really are!

I have a friend who is always wanted us to go out as group almost every weekend, and I have to say that it does sometimes become too much. I work full time and this means that the weekends are the only times that I have to be able to relax and have some time to myself. If my friend insists on a day out, then this is usually not relaxing in the slightest, and this can mean that I have lost a whole weekend when the only thing that I have wanted to do was to relax and take it easy after a long week of working hard.

That is alright not to pick up your friend call, there is always certain time in our life that we can't please every one of our friends all the time, the same will happen to her when she will not feel like talking at all no matter how many time a friend will call. Just talk to her whenever you feel like talking and at ease of your own decision, there is no need to feel pressure to answer any of your friend call if you already know what is she going to say, i did that occasionally too on certain friends, i already known what is he up to even before i talk to him on the phone whenever he called me, sometimes i just avoid answering him. I am too busy to put up with his non stop borrowing and calling too.

Well dear friend, you must know that I personally know of friends and so I frequent, I only have three! Said: "Better a few, but good!" However I have several contacts on Facebook, but I'm always in offline mode, because often I do not want to start conversations with anyone. Not to be rude, but what would I tell? The vicissitudes of my life is lousy? no, better not.

Yhea I know what your talking, sometimes friends only think us and called us when they needed something. There are the typical kind of friend that nothing to do in life but to always depend there selves in most friend they have. They just don't care that we has a life too attend to.
