I have that one needy friend! He never gets "the memo"!

Maybe he is lonely or maybe he just like talking to you, he might come across as being needy but that is a compliment to you even though it can be annoying, it is nice to be needed...I do have a couple of friends like that but I just go along with them as I said it is nice that someone is thinking of you, you may need him one day.

he sounds like he can't make his own decisions, he may lack confidence in his ability to do this, and there are may be many reasons for this, one possiblity is he had a parent who always told him what to do, or did everything for him, but i don't know. if you don't want to reject him then i might actually, next time he does does it, ask him why he feels that he can't make that decision himself, in as nice a way as possible, and tell him that you are sure that he is quite capable of doing it, and though you don't mind being asked, you think he would probably make a better choice himself. sort of flatter him out of it, tell him how good he is at making his own decisions, and possibly don't actually give advice, be indecisive and say you don't know, as may be he is trying to push you into mother role, or something, and you don't want that, so refuse to play it, but do it kindly.

I had a friend who was like that when I lived at University. She would knock on my door literally every hour and then keep me talking for twenty minutes. This was a very long time out of each day when I really had work that I should have been getting done instead of standing at the door and talking to her. Luckily she moved to another University so I don't have to see her anymore, but it was very annoying when it was happening, and I often had fits of anger every single time that she knocked on my door.

hmmm...sounds like, you have really rough time with your "Friend". if your friend is really annoying you, then in my own personal opinion you should talk this out with your friend, about what you feel and how it affects you, I mean, your friend probably doesn't know that you are annoyed with him because you don't tell him. and maybe sometimes he thinks that it's ok to talk to you or call you in the middle of the night just to ask some unimportant things. your friend wouldn't know his limitations if you won't tell him. And besides it's ok to tell your friend if he or she is annoying or that he smells like old cheese or maybe that he has a boggier on his nose, it's ok as long as it's you and not some outsider because your his friend and it's not much embarrassing if your the one telling him that. Also maybe he became needy until now because you spoil him too much...like letting him disturb you that makes him think that it's ok to annoy you.. my advice is...Tell him if his being annoying so that he can get the memo...but don't say it harshly as much as possible in a calm voice. =)

I think that everybody has at least one friend that could be classified as needy. It can be annoying at times, but I try not to let it show because I hate to hurt their feelings. I just try to deal with it with understanding that they can't help the way they are.

I have friends who can trully be a pain in the azz but I woildn't call them annoying. If anyone was becoming a problem in my every day life I would need to just be honest eith them and gently advised them that I am in the bed, if its not really important I would chat with them tomorrow..a real friend would understand that and respect your time...

Hello there... I know it is tough, but you must talk to him. There's no other option. One of these it'll increase and he'll cross the limit and then you'll break up. It is better to have a tough conversation than breaking up... Good Luck!!!

I think that you should let him know about how you feel. Just don't be mean about it you know. Maybe then he will understand. I did have a friend like that and she would come up with crazy things to talk about. I would think that it would be annoying too. She would call about what she was having for dinner or what she was doing that day. I would always be like though, I don't want to know this kind of things and why are you telling me. Her and I are no longer friends though and it is not because of that but because of other things.

If you were a female, I would say that he likes you since he always wants to talk to you an ask you lots of unimportant stuff. You can just not accept his calls sometimes and even talk to him abut these attitudes you don't like about him, he should be independent too. I don't have friends like that though...
