I Am Brutally Honest

My best friend has been bragging and lying to people about how she's been trying to find a job but I know the real truth that she hasn't. She is lazy, doesn't wanna do anything, mopes around the house and cries and whines about how her life sucks all the time to get attention. She asked if I agreed to I'm doing great. I flat out said no. I said, "Who are you trying to fool? You may be fooling everyone here but you're not going to fool me. You say you have been looking for a job, but you sure as hell haven't been doing a good job at it. You're lazy. You're being lazy about it and you need to quit lying to people. You just don't care. You just wanna sit on your ass all day, do nothing but whine, moan and stuff yourself with junk food and not giving a damn about your health! Look at you. You don't care. You say you do but you don't." She looked embarrassed. I wasn't trying to embarrass her but someone wasn't telling her the truth. Plus she asked me.
I also said, "This moaning has got to stop! You say your life is over and no one will ever love you. That's why I walked away because you're just swallowing into your own self pity! Stop the moping, get your ass up, take care of yourself and get a damn job!" She looked up. That's tough love. Sometimes you gotta give it to a friend.
After she whimpers at me and try to cry at me but I ignored her. Her brother said that she does that to make people feel guilty about telling her the truth and don't give in.

She said where was her parents when she needed them. She doesn't need her parents! She's a grown ass woman and she doesn't need her mommy and daddy to back her up. She is a month away from being 30!

Have you ever thought that maybe she’s depressed or has some other mental issues? I personally wouldn’t want you as a friend.

@SW-User So basically I'm a cunt because Im helping my friend get her shit together? You mister are weak and a coward! People like you can't handle the truth. Besides she asked me. So there! Boy bye!

I’m far from being weak or a coward. There’s such a thing as doing something or saying something for ones own good and just being a straight up bitch. @ElizabethBabe1994

@SW-User I said it for my friends own good! Why am I the bad guy? I'm not going to let her fall apart. You know what? I'm not going to argue. Done

Sounds like you did and said you gave her exactly what she needed to hear. Perhaps a bit of therapy or counseling. But she doesn't need her folks or sympathy...she needs a good swift kick in the butt and you gave her that. Now its up to her.

@ElizabethBabe1994 I noticed her brother has her pegged and it sounds like mom and dad are enabling her. Even IF she had depression.....she's not dealing with it and those closest to her are not helping her GET help. Sounds like she knows your right and doesn't like the truth. Too many people rush to a medical/emotional issue rather than just telling people to stand up and do real life.

@FORMERLYbatovn RIGHT?! Some asshole called me a cunt because I was telling my friend the hard truth. Wtf?

@ElizabethBabe1994 sometimes tough love is the best thing...even if there is an issue...its still obvious she needs to be pushed to even get help.....people passing judgement helps nobody unless you're first person involved in the situation
