How to deal with a very negative friend?

[Anonymous]

My friend complains every single day about the smallest things. She's literally never happy. If I fix one of her problems, she'll come up with a new one in a second. I can't be her free therapist/ problem solver anymore. I tried to tell her that her incessant complaining gave me anxiety, she told me "sorry, my life is not perfect" and she got mad at me. I don't know what to do anymore. Any suggestions?

Create some space between you two and stop responding to everything. You’ve already tried telling her the complaining was a lot and she dismissed it with “my life is not perfect”, nobody’s is but not everyone fusses about it every second. Anyway, she’s going to keep doing it so long as you’re responsive — so don’t be.

"I can't be her free therapist/problem solver", agreed keep doing what you're doing but tell her it's 50$ a problem, serious

She's become co dependent on you, so stop "fixing" her problems.

And consider becoming an ex friend.
