My best friend overreacts about everything?

Question

I have a good friend and she just overreacts about everything. A few weeks ago i called her out (very calmly and nicely) about her being rude to me about some stuff, and she yells at me and denies shes doing anything wrong, and tells everyone how "awful" i treated her, so now IM the bad guy. Next thing is on New Years, she invited me to come over but I politely seclined because I was having a really rough week and just didnt have the energy to go out. I have severe depression. Well, she decides to text me saying how "under appreciated" she feels and how rude Im veing for declining her iffer. THAT pissed me off.
How shoukd I handle this? Should I continue the friendship?

Answer 1

Tell her how you feel. Be honest with her. You don't deserve to be walked all over like that. Explain what she's doing and how it's effecting you and see what she does. If he gets mad about it say "I'm telling you how I feel about how I'm being treated. If you don't respect that then I'm done." That might make something click in her head and she may change how she treats you or at least monitor her responses. Sometimes people don't realize they're being that way until you point it out.

Answer 2

all sounds a bit painful



presumably youll continue with the friendship on your terms as best you can until it improves or withers and dies naturally



I generally find theres no need to make a particular decision on such things



its not like youre in a relationship or living together



forgive me for saying so but that you mentioned your depression makes me wonder if possibly youre reading some of whats going on incorrectly or filling in gaps - I tend to be quite direct with people I associate with and sometimes that is reported back to me as being rude or manipulative, which Im happy to consider and sometimes make adjustments but more often than not reject as being nonsense - I may be wrong on some occasions in how I process such, so be it



on the bigger issue of your depression - I do hope youre engaging in activities that lend to towards correcting it for you



youll forgive the presumption but far too many people rely on medication alone and dont seek to make lifestyle changes and of course therapy



anyway



best of luck



as I say - I dont think theres any need for an overt termination of the relationship - simply continue managing it as you have been and see what comes of it

Answer 3

A person like that should never have been your friend in the first place. It's frickin ridiculous
