what kind of "friend" is this?

I only hear from her if she is upset and wants me to listen or if she needs something. I have lots of friends so i am not desperate for her company. I never call her anymore b/c she never answered or returned calls...unless she needs something. I have been distancing myself from her. What would you do?

    Friendships change over time. If you are feeling used, or like she is only your friend when she needs something from you, trust those feelings.

    It's hard to let go of people that we care about, especially when we have invested time and energy into a relationship with them. It sounds to me like you are frustrated with the way that she has treated you, and that distancing yourself may very well be the best thing right now.

    I've been going through this with a friend, and while I miss her, I find it less stressful to be without her, than to feel taken advantage of by her.

    Count your blessings in your friends who are there for you all of the time, instead of just when they need something!

    Maybe your the only person which she feels she can talk to about her problems. don't take it in the wrong way, just take it as helping someone in need of ur advice. if u say u have alot of friends, dont take her much in account, just dont also erase her completly. she will be there when u need her some day!

    haha, she probably liked you or something for a while so she tried to get in touch with your "emotional side" or wanted to feel closer to you.

    it doesn't mean anything, don't think much of it.

    i would probably distance myself from her too, good thinking(:
