I'm finding myself increasingly reluctant to see someone l've been good mates with since we were at school back in the stone age. She hasn't changed but l think l have, stuff which didn't used to bother me at all now gets on my nerves - thing is l don't want to lose her as a friend! Help me give my head a wobble and stop being so picky and unfriend-like.

I don't want to list all the things that piss me off about her because it's not her it's me, if you see what l mean ... l had some therapy fairly recently and l think my boundaries have shifted a bit.

Please tell me how you've got back on track with people you care about - l need inspiring!

Not all friendships are for life, some are for a season. This is a good thing as otherwise there would be no space in our lives for new friendships.

I agree with snog , I’m also in a similar situation at the moment with someone and basically we’ve just really gone in different directions and have very little in common now .

If you are increasingly reluctant to see her and find her irritating why do you want remain friends ? People move on and have different interest ,s sometimes you have to accept that friendships are dead in the water .

What do you like about her and what don't you like about her? Or, under what circumstances would you find her less trying? When you're multitasking? Like, would she be more fun if you did something practical with her or went to the movies with her instead of having a heart-to heart?
