How do I confront my friend about her shitty attitude that hates to be confronted?
To make you understand what I mean with bad attitude: she only does thing that favors her, she doesn't pay attention to others, she talks bad about everybody but acts beties with them in front of them, she only cares about herself and her wellbeing, she slacks off in school, she's on her phone 24/7 even when people talk to her and she's acting really different than who she is.
I hate to see all her hard work go to waste, she used to be so nice to everybody and was a good friend. Her grades were the best and I always knew she would have my back as I had hers. But now she's completely different and I really worry for her. She's destroying all the good things in her life, like relationships, friendships, grades and hell even herself.
She may hate to be confronted, but the only choice is to confront her at this point. It's best to be assertive, not aggressive or passive, which is basically being firm but not mean. Use "I feel..." statements rather than accusing her so she doesn't feel attacked. If she realizes what you mean and she changes, good. If she doesn't change, that's a toxic friend and I recommend dropping her as a friend. Eventually, she'll turn on you.
As someone who had a friend like this, I relate. You simply have to either:
1. Work it out
2. Drop her
You do not need someone who does negative things in your life. If she refuses to be helped, she can spiral down to rock bottom and she may have to learn the hard way that she needed to change. If she decides to be helped, the best way is to support her. @Harumi
