    >texting with best friend who has an eating disorder
    >she complains that she's been eating too much
    >if I try to tell her it's ok and her body needs it (she's severely underweight) she'll lash at me because I'm stressing her out when she's already stressed
    >changing the topic feels extremely awkward
    What's the right move in these cases? Everything I do seems to be wrong

    Don't say anything at all, and change the subject as soon as you can. Trying to use logic on an anorexic is like trying to use logic on a paranoid schizophrenic: pointless.

    Call her a fat bitch lmao. Fatty

    abandon her entirely

    how is she a good influence on you? I dont see it.

    Also, just because someone is a victim, doesnt make it impossible for them to be agressor too.

    Most serial killers or lunatics start as victims. But not all victims end up killers and lunatics. There is something in human brain, Soul or whatever - that makes a difference.

    She sounds like she wants endless attention and validation and is pretty much unstable howerver u slice it.

    Abandon her silently, gently. Or have a real authentic 1 on 1 convo with her explaining your frustration and needs.

    I personally hate victims. Its enough to claim victimhood and suddenly you are givine free reigns to abuse others?? Not in my book.

    Abandon her politely. Best you can do. If it were the wild, Id provoke a cave bear to eat her.

    "Your body needs it" is stressful framing that puts a weight on her rather than just telling her she looks pretty or something

    >anorexic friend
    >complains to you she is eating too much

    This is a shit test. Tease her, do not engage.

    “Girl, just photosynthesize, it’ll solve all your problems.”

    Then send her this pic. (If you know her well enough, use AI to make a photo of her turn green)

    She just said she needs to do exactly this anon, pay attention.

    Not worth the friendship. She won't ever try to get better, anorexics and the barfing retards are fucking annoying. Unless she's actively fighting it or whatever with a therapist and her family its no use, even with that they'll gaslight you into being their weird enabler because you never know whats ok to say to them. Fuck that.

    Stop being friends with brittle or mentally ill people.
