KS: One of my friends has a masters in Socialogy. She is a professor at a local university. And she has the social skills of a slug! Seriously. Always needy, blaming others, has financial problems and it's everyone else's fault. I had to stop going out because I was tired of it and it drained me as I was getting back to being "Positive Barb".

You are a good friend! Just hold onto yourself, though.
