- Reading: My best friend is a bitch
Me and my best friend have been friends since middle school. Her parents died before we turned 18. We're 23 now.
I've been helping her a lot, both emotionally and practically.
She has been a great friend, through the years. I've been through a lot of shit and she has been there for me, any time I needed it, without even asking.
I really don't like some sides of her personality: she's very immature, she likes being at the centre of attention, she makes fun of me for my interests and because I'm introverted. She complains about her life all the time but dislikes when I give her advice.
There's one side of me that really wants to cut her off. She can be such a bitch and I feel really insecure and weak around her, like I did when we were 13.
On the other hand, me and my family are pretty much all she has, and she has been overall a good friend over the years.
Is there anything I can do to improve my relationship with her?
She looks more like a sloth than a bitch

It's a natural thing. We hurt the ones that we love the most, and in this case you are her sole comfort zone.
(Believe or not you also hurts your parents in ways you never notice)
Let it slide.

Is this for real?

friends go through cycles of growing close and growing farther apart. just put some distance between her and you until things get better. instead of seeing her 4-5 times a week see her once or twice instead. you need so time to reflect on why you feel shitty around her. less time around her and a change in perspective/keeping your own values and boundaries firm around her may save your friendship and make her less of a bitch.
everyone grows in their 20s. if you growvtogether with this person you might be glad when you still have this friend 20 years from now.
