To be honest, if your friend repeats "I understand" like a robot every 2 seconds then yes, that is annoying. However, you just can't expect anyone you vent to to have experienced exactly what you're saying, that is just unrealistic. You are only talking to your friend so that they can listen to your problems and help you feel better but when you put silly rules like "you haven't experienced what I've done therefore you are invalid" is pretty silly and elitist.
Your friend isn't immature, she just doesn't want to have sex and just because people don't want to doesn't make them less of a person. In fact, it makes them smart because as you unfortunately experienced, they know what can happen when you casually start having a lot of sex since people like to make mental blocks of the risks. Physical attraction is important but sex so early in life is not mandatory or the smartest choice. Instead of judging your friend, why don't you re-examine the choices you've made in 4 years and the consequences?
Thank you. Genuinely think this is the best comment.
But to be honest, in four years I don't think I'd regret my sexual partners, neither in 60 years. I've had fun, I've had experiences. No regrets. I've simply had my youth before I have to settle with that one person forever as well has holding down a successful career.
IIN friends who think they understand, are annoying?
