Starting to hate my best friend

I’m way too nice to my friend. We’re out and about, and I always suggest buying us lunch or coffee Not saying it’s bad I do, but every time I overly do it, and it’s really getting bad.

I asked my friend (politely and feeling guilty for asking) to pay me back $10 because I didn’t realize how much I spent on food, and I NEED to eat since I’m in college, and she’s making this big deal how I shouldn’t be going around spending money I can’t spare (she’s worse than I am) and she’s completely lying to me saying “I’m broke and owe my mom $5” and then posting on snapchat everything she bought the next day (well over $10).

I’ve learned over the last few months she NEVER offers me the same gesture I give to her. She’s just... turning into this person I can’t stand anymore. I hate to say it because I’ve known her for 7 years; but I don’t want to be around her. All she does is complain about the “haters” (who uh... we haven’t been around since last June cause GRADUATION), and how her life is sooooo hard (going to a “job” that pays her $60 twice a month). It’s just killing my head...

I’ve encouraged her so much to finally get into college (she been talking about it for months), and maybe SAVINGS her money so she can get her license. I’m trying to be that amazing best friend who won’t stop trying because I want her to succeed. Thinking of just backing off, because I guess her life is going absolutely amazing right now (until in a few months. That’s how it goes).

The smallest thing will set her off on this rant, no matter what/who it is. She used posts videos of herself crying on Snapchat over her VERY abusive boyfriend who lived in Texas. Constantly tried telling her he was NOT good for her, and she just shrugged me off and kept getting hurt.

So done with her drama... she’s living in the past and I’m trying to move forward in the future. She’s not going to get the “glam makeup guru” life she’s so desperately trying to start.

She’s always been a bad influence on me. That voice on my shoulder saying “buy that, you need it” when we went to the mall almost every week till I was broke (shame on me for even listening to her...). I feel so guilty with everything I’ve spent my money on, and I actually developed a bad habit of NEEDING to spend money if I haven’t yet because I used to go so much. Ive stopped hanging out with her, and my boyfriend agrees she’s really toxic for me... I need to focus on my studies and try to break this habit (I just bought a new iPhone for $273 and I’m scared to even carry it around my family because they dont know. Then again, I actually need it because my eyesight is going to shit, and my old phone was VERY small).
