Even when they know how you feel since you have expressed your feelings thoroughly they still do it. I understand that this is just personality, and old habits are hard to break but I get tired of the put-downs and the stress I feelassociating with bossy people. Is there something I can do to keep them as friends and not be so annoyed - I don't feel respected.

Well you certainly can't change your friends. I've been there. Old habits die hard. You can still stay friends with them, but maybe take some time off, and hang with new people. You might find that its a lot better than staying with these friends all the time.

I have one of those, they are hard headed when it comes to your feelings at times and you have to ignore some of the things they say because most times they don't even catch on the the fact that they are hurting you feelings so when you say something about it they get offended because you think that they were trying to hurt your feelings etc, its hard i know, i have one that keeps me on my toes, she really doesn't mean anything by the things she says, and i know that she would put her life in danger to help me out, so really think and if this person isn't there for you at all, then maybe you should consider drawing away from this person, you don't need to maintain a friendship that isn't beneficial to you too, good luck

I know exactly how you feel! I had this friend Ashley in like 5th grade (yeah long time ago), but she was sooo controlling. She was always putting me down and bossing me around..I was just so sick of it I stopped being friends with her. You have no idea how good it felt to finally be away from her. That might be what you have to do if you really, truly feel that way. If your so-called "friend" is making you feel disrespected, I say leave her to making other people feel miserable and stay out of it!
Best of luck =)

Just walk away and do something else when you are feeling disrespected. They'll eventually come around and hopefully maybe realize they need to adjust their habits.

if u think or fel that ur friends dont respect u trust ur guts and tell urself they are not ur frens they is a bunch of people that u can make rens with.
but if u really like them as ur frens talk to them, one on one.
or an open forum,
