Solutions…Hey dear friends, thank you for the useful comments. :D
The most important question I should ask myself now is: do I wish to continue this friendship. And no doubt my answer is yes. If this is the case I have to accept her for being who she is. It is almost impossible to change people’s mindset; instead I’m in control of my own thinking. Knowing that having a good listening ear is what she expects in our friendship, I should pay more attention to this aspect. Give what she needs. :)
However in relationships, by giving alone is not going to work out. Compromising plays an important part too. Clara and I always give in to Peggy thinking that it’s useless to tell how we wish she can listen to us more since that’s how her personality is. Now come to think of it, if we are not telling her, she might not be even conscious of this part of her personality!
Also, learn to look at things from the other person’s angle. By doing so, we can comprehend their behaviours more. Look more on the good instead of the bad. J
Thank you again friends for the valuable suggestions. I really appreciate them. :DImage taken from: http://www.brownsgallery.co.uk/prints/doug_hyde/index.htm
