How to Address Your Friend's Issues Without Hurting Their Feelings

1. First address the problem...

2. Start with saying, " I think we need to talk" or "I don't want to sound rude but, there is something that you have been doing that has been bothering me lately. "

3. Be clear and specific with you're issue. For example: If you're friend has been cheating on other guys and kissing guys behind their back, instead of saying "You are being un-true to you're boyfriends" try saying " Why are you cheating on you're boyfriends? You are being un-fair...."
State what you would like to happen like "pick one guy fo goodness sake!!!"

4. Remember, You can't always get your own way.

FROM THE TV SERIES "EVERWOOD"

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure who the first person was who said that. Probably Shakespeare, or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw: my inability to change.

I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw.

Staying exactly the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still. It feels better somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar.

Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected...who knows what other pain might be waiting out there? Chances are it could be even worse.

So you maintain the status quo, choose the road already traveled, and it doesn't seem that bad, not as far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict, you're not killing anyone...except maybe yourself a little.

When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion, where all of a sudden we're like this different person. I think it's smaller than that. The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked really, really close. Which, thank God, they never do.

But you notice it. Inside you, that change feels like a world of difference, and you hope that it is... That this is the person you get to be forever. That you'll never have to change again.
