Finding it hard to cut off a friend but sick of it all

Known her for around 6 years. There have been good times for sure but part of me hates her and that sounds horrible I know, but she has said so much over the years.

My boyfriend says he doesn't know why I still reply to her messages and he's right. I'm just finding it hard to cut her out as I feel guilty and like I'm overreacting.

No matter what good news you have she will have to find a negative point, but she rushes to share any bit of good news she has.

Every single time someone tells her she looks young she has to tell me. Every time someone compliments her at work she has to tell me. And I react positively.

But when it's the other way round she will always try to see the negative. I've confronted her about it and she says she's just doing it 'out of concern' but I don't buy it.
She's not thick and she will do her best to find the negative.

She never asks how I am, I don't think she actually knows what job I do, she doesn't know that my boyfriend moved in. I confronted her about it and she said that I need to tell her stuff first that she isn't a mind reader. I don't buy it, it's really not hard to ask me about myself for once.

She's been chasing a taken colleague for almost 2 years despite knowing he has a girlfriend and I have to put up with daily updates and constant messages "Omg he hasn't replied for 3 hours!" "what does this message mean?!" Etc.

She's quite ok about the him cheating on the girlfriend with her. Me and others have tried several times to make her see sense, he's not interested, it's been 2 years, he has a girlfriend, it's shitty to try and break them up. She's dismissive of me having been cheated on too. But she ignores you and sends massive essays justifying it all.

She then says she hates Facebook and would delete it but has to have groups on there. Yet she still updates every time she wants compliments.

I tried to take longer to reply but she had a go at me over it.

I want to find the courage to go NC as she's done nasty stuff over the years that's too long to list here. But then a part of me feels bad as I know she's insecure.

I'm so sick of people thinking anxiety and depression is an excuse to treat people like shit without any repercussions.

Its not.
I say that as someone who has suffered with both, who treated people around her like shit and had to live with the consequences.

Shes not a nice person. The very fact she's trying to split someone up would be enough for me to end a friendship. Its fucking awful.

She makes you feel like crap and has no interest in you.

End it. Tell her if you want. Or don't. Just block her. You don't owe her an explanation. But do this for your own mental health.
