Dear Annie: Spending time with one of my closest friends has become exhausting. She constantly talks about how unhappy and lonely she is and then pressures me to make future plans -- even while we’re already together. She doesn’t take steps to improve her life, has no hobbies or interests, and our conversations often feel dull.

But after years of politely dodging her constant requests, I’m frustrated and drained. Is this friendship worth saving? Am I wrong for not wanting to give more? — Feeling Drained Dear Drained: You are not a bad person for having boundaries.
