i have a friend who i have known for 2 years, and been pretty close with. me and him are currently in an argument. in the past, the majority of our arguments have been one of us getting angry at the other because that person is not being the best they can be, doing whats best for themselves, or letting their goals get shoved aside. its no different this time. he thinks i am not doing my best to get what i want. hes always pushed me to do whats best for myself. has anyone else ever experienced anything like this? what have you and your close friends gotten into arguments about?

i have a friend who i was friends for 15 years with and who now hasn't talked to me in over 6 months...which...for a 17 year old girl in high school...is quite a while. we used to argue (not fight) about allowing our abusive families control us, once we got out of those situations, it moved onto not pushing ourselves hard enough to get into shape or do well in school. now, she's fallen into a bad group and our withstanding argument is over her not getting out of the mess she's in. i wish she would talk to me so we could be friends again but i can't get her to even say one word. :(

thats the worst. i wish you luck though, i know what it feels like to be in that situation. feeling like you will never get someone back and there is nothing you can do to help it is really hard. i keep trying and trying with my friend, but he doesn't take "i'm trying" for an answer. his philosophy is stop trying and just do it. i know that hes just looking out for my best interests, but its hard to not have him around to support me.

i'm hoping school starting again in a month might make it easier to get back into talking again but who knows. it would just suck to lose all those years of friendship. good luck with your friend! and don't you just hate it when they say "don't try, just do"? haha.
