I feel like my best friend is using me as her emotional punching bag she is always moody about her life problems and then lays it all on me I can't just stay away from her as she is my best friend when I told her how I felt she got annoyed at me and started having a go at me it's annoying because she treats me like dirt but every time I feel like I've had enough of it she makes me laugh again she is so funny and kind and she is in the same friendship group as me so I can't just ignore her help

Then what do you expect us to do about it? You can't do this and you can't do that and she is your best friend and she is so kind and makes you laugh. So what the heck are you complaining about then? If you can't do this or that and she's so special are we supposed to wave our magic hidden wand that makes her stop being a self-centered manipulator while you carry on and don't take responsbility for calling her what she is or growing a spine and telling her to stop it or lose best friend status?
BEST friends do not treat people the way she does. As long as she can control you and be the center of attention and you are her emotional garbage can where she can vomit her daily whining complaints then life is beautiful and you are acceptable. Try to put a lid on the garbage can and you suffer her wrath.
I hate to tell you kiddo but she's not your BEST friend and unless you take a stand and demand to be treated the same way you treat her then this scenario is going to continue.
You can treat her with common courtesy in public but in private you can block her on all social media and refuse to talk on the phone or text and not hang out together if she chooses to continue.
You can't expect her to treat you with respect when you have none for yourself.
Off course I have respect for myself that's why I don't want this to continue and I don't know what to do hence why I'm on here for help and advice not to be told there is nothing I can do about it thank you for your honest opinion I appreciate it and thank you for telling me that I should stand up for myself but I have like I said before but she done gets annoyed and it makes things worse. Again I appreciate your honest opinion but I would prefer it if you no longer commented on any future posts as you have just made me feel bad about my self you can reply to this though if needed thank you
