Dear Miss Advice,
I have a friend who sticks to me like glue! She never leaves me alone. She texts
me several times a day and keeps asking me what I’m doing.
If I tell her my plans, she turns up wherever I go. I don’t
want to be mean to her, but I hate this situation. It’s
very annoying! What should I do?
From Lynne
Dear Lynne,
Take a deep breath, Lynne. You need to give yourself some breathing room.
But it doesn’t mean that you have to end your friendship.
Just tell your friend how you feel. Honesty is the best policy. Start by
telling her how important her friendship is. Then, explain that you sometimes
need time alone.
Another idea is to encourage your friend to find new hobbies of her own.
Suggest that she join a club or do activities that she is interested in but you
are not. Then you can do your own things while she is enjoying something else.
Oh, and one more thing: Do not feel too sorry for her. Your friend might
get upset at first if you limit time with her. But after a while, she’ll probably understand. In the end, it might even make your
friendship stronger!
