How to deal with an excessively passive-aggressive friend?

After thinking about it, she always tries to make me angry just out of a normal conversation. For example, I'm out of town to meet my family and she invited me to a movie night with some friends. I politely declined, stating why I physically cannot be there. She replied "I guess you just don't care about your friend anymore, but it's ok".

I finally realize that she gets the pleasure from making other people feel like crap and upset about themselves, guilting them into thinking that they did something wrong regardless of the situation.

The negative energy really brought me down and made me frustrated. I did bring this up to her many times but she always tries to instigate crap out of nowhere and push my buttons from nothing.

Is it time to call this unhealthy friendship off?

    Yes stop being friends with her. She's calling for attention and she just wants to argue. Leave her now before it's too late.

    Source(s): I had a friend like that

    I would talk to her about it. Just be honest and let her know it's not ok. If she does it again don't talk to her for a week. Then come back. If she keeps it up add more distance.

    Yep. If you called her out about this and she didn't change, then tell her to kick rocks. You shouldn't put up with a person like this.

    Call her out. Don't break off your friendship unless she isn't going to stop.

    Yes. It would be the emotionally healthy thing for you to do.
