If you're really close to your best friend, and you know they care about you, but you get really upset when they tell you to shutup. What do you do? Imagine this person does this to the point where you can never get a word in because they say you are uninteresting and talk to much, and you tried to explain to them that friends listen to eachother and you're willing to always listen to them and you really don't like being told to shutup. but they don't listen.

I think most people would agree that part of friendship is respect. By that, I don't mean that you always have to be polite and courteous to your friend, but that you take what they say and think and feel seriously, and you give it consideration. That being said, I think the best thing would be to be direct. Tell her exactly what you wrote here; that you don't like being told to shut up and it makes you upset.
The key thing when arguing or making criticisms is to keep the focus on YOURSELF. This means no saying "You're always rude to me." But saying things like "I don't like that you say..." or "I FEEL LIKE you're rude to me sometimes." (and don't exaggerate)
If you're being sincere, and doing this cuz you care about your friendship, i can't think of a good reason she would reject you. Go for it.

Well this one is hard because they are your "Friends" but come on if they are going to answer you like that or put you down can you really call them a friend? I know you like them but maybe its time to say goodbye and tell them you know what I think its best if we are not friends any more the way you treat me is not fair and I would never do that to you. You don't need them any way sounds like they are mean and selfish you need to be around people that are going to want to talk to you. Good luck and remember You can count on 1 hand your TRUE friends are,

She's not a vey good friend. If she doesn't listen to what you have to say, then let her talk to herself. Find a new friend.
