Hello! It looks like your friend is trying to self-assert at the expense of your friendship. She’s always trying to put herself above you, but a confident and independent person will never do such a thing. You think she is you friend, but friends are people who accept and support you in every situation unconditionally, and don’t point out all your faults at every bout. Being ambitious is great, but forcing others do the same is questionable. Every one of us follows his or her way. Think about what you personally want from life. What are you goals and tasks? What are your plans? How do you imagine your future? Having different goals with your friend is OK. Another question is why she makes decisions for you and tells you what to do. Perhaps she’s just trying to make you “convenient” for her. And it’s not OK to paint everyone with the same brush. Everyone has different conditions and opportunities. You say that you’ve been raised in a dysfunctional family. This fact alone shows that you can’t be compared to other people. You’ve been through hard times and you’ve spent a lot of resources to survive. It means that now you may experience some hardship in doing things which people raised in normal conditions do with ease. It’s vital to listen to other people’s opinion, but being dependent on them is a dead-end road.

Think about your own goals and so whatever you want to do in life for yourself, not for anyone else sake . Friendships come and go , but you are the one who has to live with yourself forever so do what makes you happy .

I certainly feel you need to cut such people off from your life, because genuine friends are supposed to stay with you in the toughest times and not criticize you like the rest, so you need to cut her off first, because this scrutiny will always keep you held back , try trusting and being with people who love you for who you are, and still find ways to motivate you push you to do something better

that's not at all the sign of a good friend tbh the problem here is her, you are going through some stuff i understand but the way she's making you feel miserable about it, instead of helping you emotionally, supporting you, she's criticizing you for something you didn't do but fate has brought your way, trust me sometimes it's easier and better to stay alone and continue your progress to success than staying with such friends
