How do I deal with this difficult friendship?

Perhaps she is just concerned about you and wants you to rule out the possibility of your having cancer. On the other hand she could have this morbid desire (which she may not admit even to herself) for you to get cancer too so that you can better share the feelings / emotions and stress involved. It's easier to share something with someone who is going through the same thing!!! I know it sounds horrible but she could be slightly jealous of your good health.  I don't think she actually wants you to get cancer  and would be upset if you really did have it but if you did have it I'm sure she would be a pillar of support having gone through the same thing herself. \n\nYou've heard the saying 'a friend in need is a friend indeed?' Well I had a friend who was very supportive when i was down and when i needed her but she wasn't so happy when everything was going well for me. She would never praise me for anything i'd done well but would instead praise someone else. I concluded that she was a little jealous. In the end i couldn't really handle it and though we are still friends we are not that close any more. \n\nMy friend and yours are different of course. Your friend may not be motivated by any sinister intentions and may simply be concerned about you. I think you should explain to her gently how you feel. Tell her that you know she is concerned about you but that you feel uncomfortable when she keeps telling you that you might have cancer. \n\nI wish both of you all the best.

She can't be a close friend if you want to disown her...i suggest you try and help her. I was depressed for a few years and the only thing that got me through was my friends. Think carefully

Sorry, there's no way to do it without hurting their feelings.  Plus, you don't like them enough to continue the friendship, so why are you worried about their feelings?  I mean, I know that sounds harsh, but it's true, isn't it?  This person must have done or said something you don't like or that you found offensive.  Bottom line:  If that person has hurt your feelings in the past, why spare theirs?  Good luck.

talk to them\ntell them how you feel\n13 years of friendship is something you should try to work out\nyou might find that they have changed\npeople do grow over time\nmaybe they have matured\n\nespecially try to work it out with the one who was mad. Don't let a fight ruin a friendship.  Friends fight... that is inevitable... but the whole point is you work it out, make up and move forward.

Just be there for them, hon, just be there for them. That is all you can do as a friend. Listen to them, if that is all you do, if that is all they need than do it.

i kind of dont know what you're saying. But, i am going to guess you and this friend have problems. I would talk to her, and tell her you love being her friend, and that it hurt when she insulted you. She'll be your friend

Let your two friends deal with it themselves. When a friend gets in the middle of two other friends, bad things usually happen, the least of which that one or more of the friends are friends no longer.\n\nJust stay out of it.

Be very honest with them, tell them how uncomfortable you feel and  let them know that you are friends to both, and would rather they sort their differences out with each other.

Just tell her you can't be friends with someone like that, but you would be happy to help her turn her life around. If she is truly your best friend, she will change

well there's not much now that you can do..he knows the truth and that is good. You should just apologize to all of them and praythat their friendship isnt ruined because of this.

theres really no way around just go ahead and talk to him let him know you value his friendship, but  and you go from there, but try to do this as soon as possible because you dont want to keep anything from him the longer you wait the more complicated it will be.

Be as sympathetic as you can, though try to minimize any pity you may show him, no matter how he acts when you tell him. Bottom line is, when you tell him, he won't like you, and there is absolutely nothing you can say at the moment to change that (but you can make it far worse) so tell him, give him a hug, say you're sorry and you want to continue to be friends, then give him some time. If the friendship is true then he will come back to you. If his pain is too great though, such is life, and he will need space between himself and you, to heal. There is no easy way out of this I'm afraid. Good luck~

Tell her the truth. Let her know that the other individual is your friend and that you don't want to talk negatively about anyone. If she can't respect that, she doesn't respect your friendship.

I am in that exact situation now.  I have 2 groups of close friends that hate each other and are constantly bitching about each other to me, who's stuck in the middle.  I deal with it by telling them I get on with all of them and I won't listen to them bitching about each other cos it is seriously annoying.  It's a hard spot to be in but if you get on with them all you have to stay on the fence.

well, try talking to her.  if she won't let you, then dont worry about her. if she's a true friend, she'll want to hear your side of the story. if she's true, she'll come back to you. if she doesnt, oh well. get a new friend.
