It doesn't matter if she is your friend or not. You obviously sympathize with her enough to leave yourself open to the words and thoughts of others. Although, I think you've also done that so that you can have someone tell you what a horrible person you are.

I find that tactic ridiculous and immature, but you appear to be younger than I am, so it's not...that far out of the realm of possibility for you.

I'm not saying this because I think you should have the same discussion over and over again. I can see that others have shared their own opinions before I have. I am merely trying to remind you that life is what you do with it.
