We all want to be there when our friends need to vent, but at some point, you have to encourage them to stop complaining and actually do something about the issue.

This woman‘s rich and privileged best friend keeps complaining about various things in her life but has no intention of solving anything.

She’s finally gotten so annoyed she spoke her mind, and things are tense.

Read the story below for the full details.

AITA for telling my best friend that she’s really privileged and her problems are her own fault?

I’ve been trying to be supportive to my best friend and give her some non-pushy advice when she seems to want it.

But she seems determined to ruin her own life.

We’re both 23 if that matters.

This woman is frustrated about her best friend’s way of dealing with her problems.

I know she was sheltered, and I know she’s gone through some terrible situations in life.

But she’s really protected in a way I wouldn’t be if I was in the same circumstances.

She keeps making these really awful decisions, and I know that she needs to vent sometimes.

But it’s really frustrating when she doesn’t seem to be making any effort to improve anything she’s constantly complaining about.

She listed a few examples of her best friend’s complaints.

Here are some examples:

She just lost a job offer because she showed up 20 minutes late.

Then she complained to me about how bad transit was, and how much she hates capitalism, and how she’ll never find a job.

She complains about being poor, but wouldn’t get a job.

She complains about not being able to find a job.

And about how poor she is and how much she needs money.

But won’t even apply for anything minimum wage or anything that isn’t her ideal job.

She complains about not having money to spend, but her parents give her some.

Her parents are literally sending her rent money.

She keeps complaining to me about how she can’t afford fun purchases, and how having to pay money for rent is stupid

Even though it’s not even her money.

She even had a problem with passport renewal.

She didn’t renew her passport until a month before she needs it

And then got frustrated that wait times were over a month.

She also thinks the university is a scam.

She’s got her associates, but she’s only 2 classes away from her bachelors.

But if it ever comes up, she just deflects by saying university is a scam.

Now, this woman wants to confront her best friend about her problems.

I probably shouldn’t have, but AITA for telling her her problems were her own fault?

It wasn’t a nice thing to say, but I was really tired of listening to the same complaints with absolutely no effort to fix them.

Let’s check out what other people have to say about it.

Here is one honest opinion.

This person shares their personal thoughts.

She’s very draining, says this one.

While this one says tough love is needed.

Finally, here’s something to ponder on.

Some people need a hard-hitting reality check!

They don’t always agree, however.
