Why is my friend acting like this?

My friend is upset every single day over the stupidest of things! She always expects me to feel bad for her and throw her a pity party, but after almost 3 months of her complaining about how “awful” her life is, I’m tired of hearing about it. We all have are problems, but it doesn’t mean you need to sit there and whine about it all day!

And she’s convinced almost everyone else that she has the worst life ever and is in need of constant pity. I want to be there for her, but how can I if she’s not even willing to be happy? All she wants is for people to feel sorry for her, and I’m afraid we can no longer be friends if she keeps this up…

Same here. God, this girl I know can be a real pain sometimes. I know EXACTLY how you feel. What I do is say, “You’re a real downer, you know? Why don’t you just suck it up and enjoy what IS good!” and then she’d start crying and whining about how she thought I was supposed to be the nice one in the class and I’d be like, “You know, maybe people don’t like you because you’re always like… THIS. I mean, just stop being a crybaby and nobody likes a fun killer. So if you think some people hate you or you have a crappy life, just stop being a… a meanie! Be nice! Ever thought about NOT controling the entire universe? People don’t like you because you’re so… controling. You expect people to respect you and adore you? No. You have to earn respect and trust. And no one cares that you’ve been here since freakin’ kindergarden, that doesn’t mean you’re the princess. That doesn’t mean that you’re top dog or or queen bee or somethin’. People don’t respect you because you expect them to. Now, if you just EARN your title, stop being a crybaby, lower your expectations, and be nice for a change, THEN you can start crying if things don’t go your way. Because chances are, they WON”T. I mean look at me. I’m the new girl and because I expected to be treated like trash and was actually nice to some people, I have friends. Okay? Like here’s another example: Look at me. You think I had it the easy way? NO! My life is rough. My parents divorced when I was one year old, I have to bounce back and forth between Chicago, California, Chicago, California, Chicago, California. Guess what? You don’t hear ME complaning. I KNOW that your parents are divorced, too. But at least, you don’t have to bounce between states, transfer to different schools every freakin’ year and move everytime one of your parents move. Now you see how I’m treating you right now? You probably hate me, right? Well same goes to you. If you keep on telling people how much YOUR life sucks, chances are, NOBODY’s gonna like you. So wipe ya tears, turn that frown upside down and SUCK IT UP!!!” Now that might sound a little bit harsh, but it makes them realize that just because they’re having a bad life, doesn’t mean that someone out in the world doesn’t have a worse one. Hope I helped!

THANK YOU! I’m so glad I’m not alone in this. :D

I wish my “friend” would just suck it up and get over it. Everything she complains about isn’t even worth being upset over anyways. There are people that have it so much worse and you don’t hear them crying about it like a little baby all the time.
