Asking Eric: My friend’s ugly reaction to the word ‘no’ is getting out of hand

A person is experiencing difficulties with a friend who reacts with wrath whenever they are told no. This behavior is reportedly getting out of hand, leading to concerns about whether this is the type of individual one should spend time around. Eric suggests that the primary task may not be teaching the friend how to behave correctly, but rather deciding if the friendship should continue at all given these negative reactions to boundaries.
