Yeah. I have a friend who bitches all the time about how she can't make friends. She gets mad at me for being "outgoing" and gets super angry if I start randomly talking to someone on a bus or something and I don't "include" her. Like.. it's not my fault she doesn't jump in, I can't even begin to count the number of times I've jumped into her conversations with old friends and end up making a friend myself or something.
I've tried giving her advice and stuff, and then she tells me I'm cold-hearted, I don't understand, I'm mean, etc... Apparently, I make it sound "so goddamn easy!" when it's not. She also complains that she can't get a job... and when I try to give her pointers on being pleasent she calls me fake and tells me not everyone can be someone they're not.
I really just get sick of the "my life sucks so bad," and the facebook status updates that are all along the lines of "why does everything bad happen to ME?!" or "why is my life ruined at such a young age?" when the girl has a decent family, money to spend, a roof over her head, she's going to college next year, etc...
I know that someone else who has it worse doesn't get rid of a bad situation for you, but is it that hard to just put things into persepective?
