April 6, 2017 8:08pm CST
I had a best friend, we are very close. We have been had friendship for more than 10 years. But sometimes he is very selfish. he always considered himself the most important than others. What can I do to telling about his bad attitude without hurting his feeling ?

@reskyyandi You can either give it to her straight and explain that her attitude is hurting you and may even hurt her in the end. People usually don't tolerate selfish people like that. She may end up losing all of her friends if she keeps it up. Don't be afraid of being truthful to your best friend. Or you can do nothing....but remember, doing nothing means nothing will change. Good luck with whatever you do.

Be frank, my friend. You don't need to play safely on this. As for me, I will confront him right away. I knew the fact that the truth will appear to be ugly but it is the best thing to do for me.

Oh sad. I think you can ask him to play a game where you both will write each other's negative things... Like on whatsapp

We are all selfish in our own ways. For me I feel so many are selfish expecting me to drop whatever I am doing to do things for them....but that makes me selfish with my time as I often resent not getting to do what I want to do for others.

I think you're right. But I'm still have to tell it to him

Some people are just that way. They are all-consumed. If you are really good friends, you should tell him in a respectful manner. I hope that he understands and that it does not cause any problems for your friendship. If it does cause problems, perhaps, he is not truly a friend.

People change over the course of time. I think if he thinks your a real friend you would tell him the truth no matter how it hurts. Maybe he could change for the benefit of you guys.
