I need your opinion on if I'm overreacting or not

For the grandparents thing at the end, I feel like I could understand her situation a little. My dog died (today actually), and all I wanted to do was vent to people about stuff they probably didn't care about much. I would say not to take that one too personally, though I do agree that it is a little annoying/rude.I would be bothered by the other stuff, too. I honestly think I can be on the more dramatic side, and I take small things too personally, but that is a little confusing. My parents do sometimes make me pay for my friends' gifts myself, so maybe that's kinda like her situation? Im sorry this is bad advice, but im tryna be helpful 🙏🥲
Sounds like a complicated situation to be honest. I too am a little on the dramatic side so i totally understand your frustration with her and i’d be annoyed as well (your feelings are valid too, no matter what her situation is like!). I feel like you should kind of ignore it as good as you can and hope that she stops complaining about money. Maybe she then gets the hint that you find her complaining annoying and when you don’t acknowledge her behavior and she doesn’t get the reaction/attention she wants she eventually stops. If she doesn’t do that then you still have the option to confront her about it if you want to. If she continues to not take any interest in your emotional wellbeing or doesn’t acknowledge your feelings at all in the future i’d ask myself if she’s really a friend you want to keep or if she’s really a friend at all.
I hope my opinion was a little helpful and your situation/your relationship with her gets better again!
Thank you!!! I will try ignoring it the next time I see her and hopefully she will get the hint.
I obviously don’t know her , but do you think there is a way she is saying she can’t afford things so she can fit in since she lives in a low income area but is actually richer?
that's very possible cause I do know that her grandparents own a successful tech company and her dad works there, so yeah is probably it, thank you I didn't even think of that
Basically all you need to know is that I live in a low income area. So my friend lets call her M has lately been complaining about her family not having money, which you know is not unexpected in the area but it is really not adding up like for example the other day we were going on a walk and she was saying that they don't have a lot of money right now and so she has to take books from her shelf to give to our friend who's birthday party was later that day and I thought nothing of it then later at the party she said "Oh yeah I just got a new Alexa for my room since we have one in every room but mine broke" and I'm like girl you just said you couldn't afford books but you can buy an Alexa for like a hundred dollars? And this isn't the only time she has done this either, I have probably heard her say this hundreds of times at this point and I try to be the supportive friend cause that's the kind of person I am but at this point I feel like she is doing it for attention I mean she got a cat a few weeks ago and now they are thinking about getting a dog and I'm just sitting over here trying to figure out how they could afford a dog but not a present for a friend. It might sound like I'm assuming but I promise I'm not, it is worse in person it's just late and my brain isn't working. Oh and then to add onto me thinking she is doing it for the attention, because now that I write this out I realize that she has been treating me like a therapist, a few months ago her grandpa was dying and again because I care I was letting her vent and trying to be as supportive as possible but then she is like "it's been so hard on our family" so I said "yeah I'm sorry about that, but I know what it feels like my great grandma died last week" (I wasn't lying) she didn't even bat an eye she just kept rambling on maybe this wasn't my place to talk but I had been listening to her rambling on every afternoon on the bus home from school for two weeks and I was done with it I don't want to be her therapist I want to be her friend.
I don't know what to think at this point, do you guys think it's for attention or am I just in the wrong? I really need to know, I haven't slept for days thinking about this.
