Question: What do you do about a friend who is becoming increasing toxic!?
A woman I know is miserably unhappy, negative, passive aggressive, and just plain nasty!.
She's always been insecure and snippy, but over the past year or so, she's become increasingly nasty to a few people in our group!. It's so obvious that she's lashing out, because she's unhappy, but it's difficult to talk to her about what's going on!. I don't know if she's unaware of how she's coming across or if she just doesn't care!.
Her behavior and attitude have escalated to a shocking level recently and it's making our relationships with her awkward!. If we don't include her on our plans, then she'll flip out and be hurt, if we do, then we have to wonder if she'll be friendly and nice or nasty and hostile!. It's a coin toss!.
My mother is bi-polar and suffers from depression and a lot of the behavior my friend is exhibiting reminds me of my mom; but I'm not a doctor and I don't feel comfortable telling her that she needs to get help!.
But I think she does!. What should we do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

It would be good if you and the rest of her friends could confront her together (INTERVENTION!. ) Let her know your feelings and concerns !. also let her know you are doing this because you care!.!. If it's done by a group , it will have a bigger effect!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Leave her out and explain that the last time you went out together she didn't seem to enjoy it, so you assumed that she didn't want to go again!. Put the onus of her behavior on her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
