I am living with a roommate who is constantly talking about herself in negative ways, such as "I wonder if men think I look good". At first I was saying things like, "Of course they do". But then she started talking negative about her family and how no one loves her or ever will love her, and she does this every day. She walks around telling everyone about how horrible she is treated and cries and cries to me every night, then eats to make herself feel better. I've tried to suggest ideas such as going to counseling, reminding her how wonderful she is, but it seems like the more I encourage her, the more she complains and whines about no one caring about her and her life sucks. It has gotten to the point that I don't feel like with her, because she will talk about everything that is negative. It's like she is doing this for attention, because all she does is tell everyone. But at the same time, it's like she wants to stay in the same spot. How should I deal with this situtation?
