How do you advise someone else on friendships? I know I know most people would say don't get involved but I hate to see this person pouring out good deeds to people that show little or nothing in return. If it were me I would move on, but it is not in this persons nature to give in. So bottom line question, if as a friend you are constantly giving and receiving nothing should you stay in that relationship?

If you are always being good to someone and they are showing nothing back and aren't being good to you then get out of the friendship. You treat people how to treat you and you're not dirt so don't let someone walk all over you.
If this isn't you but someone you know, then all you can do is just remind them of how much they are worth and encourage them. It'll be up to them on getting out of the friendship. Eventually they will see the person they are investing time in isn't seeing them as a priority but as an option. Sadly sometimes you just have to let people learn and get hurt to see what they were doing isn't good for them. You can encourage them and be there for them during the friendship and afterwards.
Most people give just for the spirit of it, because we feel validated as people when we help. Sometimes helping others helps us. A person can only extend themselves so much, if it's bothering you more than them, then maybe your a little too close too the situation. you can't just tell someone to stop helping. But you can be there in case they ever need help from you.
Maybe just try to let it go for only one week then if you still feel the same way then just tell how you feel. Something will happen wether it be good or bad. Thing happen for the right reason.
