Would you be annoyed if a friend turned round and just said im
constantly negative? And full of drama? In a horrible way? Yet she’s always got something going on her in life too??? Feeling a bit annoyed :(
or is she right!????

is she right? I have a friend who constantly moans about everything - her job, her DH, the service at a restaurant, other people around us…if I have a problem, she has one bigger. it’s exhausting to be honest.

We know neither you nor your friend, so it's pretty impossible to judge.

But since your response to this is to post what comes across as an angry rant with way too much emotional punctuation, I suspect she has a point.

Maybe try some self reflection: in what ways could she be right, and how might you change if she were? And then try out being that person for a while, because you might find it makes you happier to be less negative/dramatic/easily offended.

Looks like she nailed it. 🤷‍♀️

How the heck do we know if she’s right?
