I'm concerned about a friend who exhibits the following:
-feels disproportionately wounded when slighted, eg party invitations, kids being told off at school
-has been known to cut close friends dead when said slight happens
-this escalates into anger
-demands the highest standard of loyalty from others
-cries easily and is generally over emotional
-worries excessively about everything
-has little or no awareness of others' states of mind/feelings/points of view, but is hypersensitive about her own.
She is an intelligent woman with many plus points but I can see that her antagonism is depriving her, one by one, of her friends (either she's dumped them or they've got fed up 'caring' about her).
I don't know much about mental health but she's not well is she? . Is there a way of broaching this without having her fly off the handle
