Maybe you should if you feel that strongley about needing so much attention....if you need to lose weight only you can stop you not your friend ,or husband ,an just cuz someone is bipolar does it mean they need attention.People can sometimes be cruel out spite out of anger or just panic someone can do or say things an not realize the impact it will have on a person....an it sounds like your friend has some empathy issues the ability to at least try an see where someone else is coming from..... if it bothers you talk to her , dont demand she be your therapist for whatever whim you feel to impos.... maybe she has a kid an a crazy husband having troubles, maybe she has an over bearing mother or maybe like all of us you have all those things an just need to talk in a setting not to be made to feel bad bout things that make you feel bad be kind understanding an no ego or spite they probably still won't take the time to see you just needed to know they care not make their whole life you an what you need
