I would just have the conversation with her.

There are always places for compromise and concessions on both parts, if people are open.

Good luck.

I agree 💜 And this would be hard for me, but let her know
1. Negativity makes your fibro symptoms worse, maybe ask for advice on how SHE relaxes and manages stress/pain, whatever
2. Either talk to her about her car or tell her you aren't a good passenger? You feel better driving (btw, that's my daughter!! Always has to drive!)
Sometimes I invite friends over to my place for coffee, lunch whatever because getting ready to go out takes all my energy, and at home I can recline & be more comfy, so llcan she .... And of course, the $$
Many times I've told friends I'm trying not to spend money but, spending time with THEM is important.
Don't know if that helps but good luck ,
Deb 😘

Glad you felt comfortable enough to speak with your friend and advocate for yourself. It’s good that you are setting healthy and friendly boundaries.
Thank you to you and your friend for working at the polling places! Sounds like you have common interests outside of shopping. Hope you have a great week!

Well, that’s a pickle you’re in! I agree with the other comments, you really need to talk with her. I know it’s very uncomfortable, but if she’s really your friend, she should understand. You might start with…this really makes me uncomfortable to tell you this, but I must be truthful…good luck.. ❤️

Hello! I'm sorry. Maybe do exactly that...spin it around and make it about her...say I wanna make it special for you, I'll drive, let's do a picnic outside while the weather is still nice out, tell her about a new Christian song you'd love to share with her. The Truth - Megan Woods is spectacular! Anything negative that she throws at you, spin into a positive. Maybe also say a extra prayer to God that HE guides you & your positive heart & words on her. Hope this helps 🥰🙏✝️
