Struggling with a Friend

I'm feeling very frustrated. I have a friend who always seems to be super critical of me anytime I go to her to talk about anything. We get along fine in person, but I tend to feel attacked if I ever message her online about something that's bothering me.

She's a pretty easily to offend person who seems to always have an opinion about what everyone else is doing.

I'm at the point now where I'm wondering if I want to continue the friendship.

She really doesn't have many friends at all. I feel like she might just be settling for me and trying to make me fit into a box I don't fit into.

It's a hard one. It's good to have friends that can be brutally honest but bad when you have a friend who is critical and negative about your life and choices.

I had a similar friend and it was only after that I realized they weren't supporting me and doing the opposite. Really played on my confidence.
