I've been in this situation before. The problem is you're not choosing your audience correctly. If this person isn't well-vested in your life and interests, you might have to come to the realization that they don't care about you as much as you care about them. Avoidance of issues might also stem from the desire not to talk about them. You may find better luck with this person as a "surface friend" and search for deeper relationships elsewhere in your life. Otherwise you are putting unrealistic expectations onto your friend and your relationship which might ultimately cause the rift between you two to grow larger. It's a harsh truth, but a necessary one.

It sounds like they're not probing into it because they don't know what to say to you regarding your issues because they simply lack the depth and tact to pursue the topic further with you, not that they don't care. If they're listening intently enough to respond to you, it means they do care. And changing the topic isn't to slight you it can also be to de-escalate tension. Whether its to de-escalate your tension or theirs, or it's simply habitual to carry on the conversation. I can say from experience that I have a number of very close friends that sometimes also can't help me solve my problems but are only capable of hearing me vent.

I had the same thing happen to me once. I asked her something along the lines of "There's this boy in my class who I've known for a while and whenever I bring up any issues or go into deep thought it seems as if he doesn't care and ends the conversation by saying that's sad or that sucks. What should I do?" And she told me "I don't know, but why would you tell him this stuff if he doesn't care?" I said "Because we're good friends" and she told me "I wouldn't be friends with a person like that". I revealed that it was her and she got angry for "tricking her"? But she just admitted she wasn't a good friend so I cut our friendship off after that.

Well. If I were you I would seek new friends. She doesn' either have the skills to communicate how she wants to. Or she doesn't care too much. I had a friend once who would rant about her life all the time but never really caring about me and what I wanted to talk about. Its not healthy so make friends with someone who is good at listening. But remember to not be what you dislike. Remember to listen to them aswell.

Having a friend is not only about sharing happiness together but also sharing your concerns together. And if she can’t understand what you’re going through then I think you need to find a new friend. Like you said , you’ve only been friends for two years and in my opinion you can get a better friend who can understand and share your concerns with. Friends come and go, I’m sure you’ll find another good person who you can talk to. Or if you don’t want to lose her then why not make other friends and talk to them instead? And if I were you I wouldn’t tell her anything because she won’t understand and her simple answers will just hurt my feelings more and more.

Yes thank you I do have a friend that always really supports me in my hard times which I think was how I really realized properly that the relationship with my friend wasn’t the best. Thanks for your advice, idk why I didn’t really get how true friend should be so when you explained it I opened my eyes more to the situation...hope that makes sense (idk maybe I just never thought too deeply about relationships I’m general considering a lot of them I’ve seen are toxic ) anyways thanks again♡´・ᴗ・`♡
Sorry to break the mood but I have a life question so my friend for two years is mmm really sheltered, not to say she hasn’t been through things but she definitely is sheltered anyways I’m not a light and fluffy person I’ve been and am still going through a lot so being best friends with her I thought I could tell her anything about my home problems but every time I go deep into it she always gives me basic responses like “wow” or “that’s sucks” and just overall Ignores what I said and goes to talk about what’s happening in her life. It’s been a problem before like her just not facing confrontation(if you can call it that) so am I just being to needy? Orrr am I right and if so what do I do? Help me ┗( T﹏T )┛
