Some background - I’m studying for university exams, I broke up with my partner like a week ago, I have to complete the process of buying a house for next year.

There’s this girl who I wouldn’t say I’m close with, but we’re better friends than just someone you get along with (hopefully that makes sense), and she constantly has something bothering her. I’m a pretty understanding and sympathetic guy, but I’m finding myself getting wound up and having to bite my tongue constantly in order to not lose my cool.

Despite my own situation, I’m still happy to help people and listen and give advice. But this girl complains about the same things constantly. I give advice, she rejects it, I tell her I don’t really feel comfortable talking about it, she gets annoyed. I’ve just now told her that “I’ve got my own issues, you have friends living with you who you’re very close with, they’ll be better listeners than me. I’m more than happy to help but you turn down every advice I offer. I don’t see what you want me to do. I’m so sick of repeating myself.”

Bear in mind, I’ve not asked her for any support myself, nor has she really offered any. This other girl who I’m extremely close with gives me support and I return it. I don’t get at all frustrated with her because at least she will consider the things I say.

I fully understand not everyone is the same, but there’s a limit to how long someone can feel sorry for themselves.

AITA for responding how I have, or feeling how I do?
