Dear Selfless Esteem, How do you know when it’s right to discontinue a friendship? A friend I’ve known for years is constantly wanting me to take her places. When we are together, she only talks about the negative. She doesn’t ask anything of her husband (who is retired and sleeps all day) or adult son (who lives w/them & doesn’t work), but she expects me to do things for her. Being with her is exhausting. If I don’t answer her texts right away, she gets hurt. I’m sick of the guilt trips! Signed, Responsible for others’ feelings?

Tune in for the answer.
