So I've been friends with this girl for over a year. And I feel like no matter what I do she's always negative towards my passions. I'll name some examples. I want to be a certified herbologist, and I told her this. I said that if I have kids in the future that I would want to teach them how to garden, and her reply was "with your luck they won't like gardening".
Another time I said that Its my dream to grow a garden and make money selling products made from me. All she tells me is "that sounds hard and time consuming, so it's a no from me".
Today I tell her that I learned exercise can increase productivity and an understanding of math. I said that that's just more reason for me to start exercising. And her reply was " you'll forget. I love you, but your memory is bad". I tell her that I can always work on this and that there's mental exercises to increase memory. So she tells me "you know those don't work right? I've tried them before and they didn't work".
I just feel like whenever I come to her with something positive she makes it negative. She also displays my bad traits, like she rags on my bad memory quite often. We play video games together, and my brother said something along the lines of not getting addicted to drugs. She says "we already know (my name) failed that" in reference to me smoking weed. She also blames my bad memory on weed (which is not true, I've had bad memory since I was a child everyone in my family knows this). It annoys me that she would throw my weed smoking habits in my face when I told her I mostly smoke for medicinal purposes (I have ibs and it helps me gain an appetite and not feel so much pain when I eat).
These are just the examples I can think of. Wtf is this? Like why is she like this? I'm ALWAYS supportive of her dreams and goals, I've never known a single bad habit of hers in her face or in front of others. Is this pick me behavior? I just don't understand the negativity when I try my absolute best to make sure she feels positively about herself and has a positive outlook on life.
Things can get so rough and it's so easy to lose hope. And I just feel like she never returns the positivity. Am I being too sensitive about this or is something off about her?
