Today, my friend was complaining to me about her problems. I tried to be a good, understanding friend, listening and giving advice. When it was my turn to vent, she interrupted me, saying, "Sorry, but I don't really care." FML

Hey everyone, OP here! :) I just wanted to thank everyone for their comments, they were super helpful and many were also quite funny. My "friend" is now my ex-friend and it's the best decision I could've made because she clearly was never a friend to begin with. Thanks again, everyone! Cheers!

That'll teach you to care about stuff. You should be more like me - bitter, jaded, old, grey-haired, deaf, and why are you still here! Get off my lawn!

Good for you, OP! Find a friend who will be as good to you as you are to them.

Good for you! I know how you felt though. My former best friend (I'm still friends with her, or more like good acquaintances) used to do the same thing. She could vent for hours (over trivial crap) and I would sit there and patiently listen. When I had a problem (a legitimate one) to vent about, she would be doing everything BUT listening. People like that aren't the kind of people you need to surround yourself with. True friends will listen to you, actually listen to you.

Good for you. I used to be friends with a girl who I would listen to her countless relationship problems and help her but when I tried talking to her about my problems she didn't care.

This is the epitome of my sister and I's relationship I am the good listener I feel your pain

Your "friend" really shouldn't have done that. I don't think it's really fair, and it looks like she's just using you. The fact that she just cut you off like that and said she didn't care...no "friend" would've done that.

I'd stop being her friend. I've had so many "friends" like that and after a really long time, I told myself that enough is enough. You need to remove those kinds of people out of your life especially when they don't care about what goes on in yours.

I had friends like that. *Had* being the operative word. I phased those people out- and though I don't really have friends anymore, it's a lot better than being everyone else's therapist but getting your own issues blown off

Time for one of two things: 1 - learn to say that same thing when she starts again OR 2 - Drop that so-called "friend" from your life.
