i adore my friend group but there's this one girl that gives me terrible vibes. she complains about everyone, acts like she's above everything. i literally had a nightmare abt her making us all pick sides between me and her. what do i even do?

no one else seems to see a problem they all love her. but she makes them all hate everyone she doesn't like or didn't have a good time with, she talks so much shit, she acts disgusted about everything especially my other friends joking around and having fun (like she'll scowl/scoff at them or move away or be like i don't know them),

This happened to me in HS and I learned two things 1) being honest with ppl u can trust and confiding/reaching out with them is NOT the same as gossiping. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge something mean/wrong is happening bc then in some ways ur enabling it. That’s not to say shittalking is like ok. But I let someone treat me rlly poorly for YEARS bc I didn’t want to “sink to her level” by telling someone, and I shouldn’t have.

my friend group is kind of similar, the only difference is that people do acknowledge that she’s not being a very nice friend sometimes. i would say branching out and making other friends outside of this group is what has helped me because you’ll have a support system that’s not related to this person at all!

2) you are most likely not the only one who notices and is bothered. When I eventually did share, some of my friends were rlly shocked, but all of them cared and were mad on my behalf. And more than that, a couple of them ended up sharing that they'd had similar experiences but weren't sure if they were being dramatic by taking offense bc no one else had ever stood up about it.

and honestly why not try to have a conversation w her? sometimes people aren’t trying to sound like a party pooper it’s just kind of their defense mechanisms or something they’ve been surrounded with growing up so they don’t even see anything wrong with it until someone points out

any time we go somewhere she doesn't wanna be or do something she didn't pick she'll complain the whole time like "i hate this, i hate this, this is not it, let's go, we need to leave now". she especially hates this one frat the rest of us like bc it's small and it's parties are mostly outside talking instead of dancing. she always is like no that was the worst night of my life it was so horrible if we go there i'm not going

i feel like she's just so intensely negative and brings the vibe down and i can absolutely see her breaking our group up bc of petty shit. no one else seems to notice, they love her. am i being dramatic?? or are these valid concerns?? what do i do??

she didn't do anything wrong or mean, just brings the vibe down a lot by not being comfortable to be around and being so negative about things. everyone else in the group is really down to earth until she's around, but no one else seems to notice or mind
