When should you end a friendship and stop giving chances?

Two close friends are rarely there when I need them but I'm always there for them. They always call with bad news and drama. Should tell them how I feel or slowly distance myself?

    Tell them how you feel, and if they don't listen, then quickly distance yourself.

    First you should ignore their phone calls and text messages for a week and then answer their calls and reply to their texts for a week. When you do, just say "yeah" and "mm-hmmm" as they talk to you. Alternate in between doing this on a weekly basis. Then eventually they should get the message that you don't want to talk to them and they may even stop talking to altogether.

    Source(s): There was a girl that I went to college with who had a lot of boy trouble and court trouble. She used to talk all the time about her drama with me and our other mutual friends on the phone and on MSN. Eventually we all just got tired of her talking about the same drama, so what I described in my answer is what we did. Now we don't talk to her at all.

    You need to judge for yourself if you being walked on....Its nice to help friends if indeed they are friends but your not Dr Phil and you have your own problems. Weigh your worth and time do you have fun with these two or are you constantly babysitting? You have to solve your own problems and stand on your feet; they do too.
