Friendships are about give and take. But at times one of you might be more needy. What I learned to tell someone when I cannot not listen to it anymore - "What are you doing to make this better?" If they can talk about good things/actions we're on a better track if not - I usually let them go - sometimes they can be too emotionally draining.

“Psychotherapy works by going deep into the brain and its neurons and changing their structure by turning on the right genes. The talking cure works by "talking to neurons," and that an effective psychotherapist or psychoanalyst is a "microsurgeon of the mind" who helps patients make needed alterations in neuronal networks.” Norman Doidge
