so heres mt problem. i have to friends that i always hang out with but one just started dating someone and i dont see her a lot anymore. so during lunch i just hang out with my other friend. but when its just us she ask constant questions about who i liked and why they made me so sad but i don't want to tell her.she says keeping things bottled in makes things worse and for me it makes me feel better. she wont stop asking me so how should i change the subject or stop her from asking?:confused:

your best bet is most likely to tell her flat out that you dont want to talk about it. i know that when someone is trying to interrogate me, i generally just go: "uummm, nah, i dont really wanna say" instead of going: "im not telling you"

you might hurt her in the short term, but if she cant accept that you might not want to tell her something then, i am sorry but, i dont think she is a true friend...as long as it isn't anything totally major, she doesn't really have any right to know <---depending on how close you two are.

Keeping things bottled up isn't a good thing, we all know that. So maybe your friend's insistence isn't so much about that, as much as it sounds like her need to know for her own reasons. You have a right to privacy, and it's reasonable for you to expect her as afriend to respect that.

Tell her directly that you do not wish to talk about it, and would like her to stop asking you.

I hate people that do that. They just won't leave you alone. Ugh.
I would suggest either, finding someone else to sit with or just flat out telling them that you don't like to talk to people about that or just say no one, and keep saying no one. They will get the message after a while.
Repetition sadly, is necessary for these problems
