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!????

How on earth can we say without any examples or context? The manner of the OP is very similar to those people who post attention seeking things on social media like "some people just don't know when to stop". Based on that I'd say friend may have a point about drama.

She’s probably a lot more negative than me that’s the joke

But that’s her cross to bear, we can’t change other people.
Maybe take a break from this person and prioritise your own wellbeing.

Maybe you’re not good together. Maybe your negativity is rubbing off on her and she doesn’t like it.

Your posts do always come across as negative and tbh they dont always line up with other things you've posted so you also come across as a bit of an attention seeker.

No idea what you're like in real life but your friend woild know you better than a bunch of randoms off the Internet

I think honest feedback from friends is good. It gives you the opportunity to recognise what needs to change and do it. Better than everyone quietly slipping away because you drain them and are completely oblivious to your behaviour and impact on others.

Might be a bit of a wake up call for one or both of you if she says you’re constantly negative but you think she’s even more negative than you. Perhaps a chance to evaluate whether you enable each other, and whether both of your mindsets is really helpful
