I’m exhausted by my negative friend

We have been close friends for 10 years and are still hanging out two to three times a week now. Both of us like gossiping. I initially enjoyed the stories we exchanged because they made me feel fascinated knowing things about others.

However, I have started getting tired of my close friend recently because of how she tends to think negatively about everything. For example, when I told her about my colleagues’ compliments for my clothes and hairstyle, she said: “They were just mocking you, your clothes and hairstyle are just average.”

She also planted in my head the idea that everyone envies me for being beautiful, having married to a wealthy man, and having a stable job, while I think some people do not like me just because they do not know me well.

I invited my close friend and her husband to dine with my family at an expensive restaurant on my birthday. The meal cost me a lot, and while everyone praised the food, only my close friend turned to me and asked: “I wonder if this beef is really high-quality. What if they served us rotten, unhygienic meat and just hyped it up to overcharge us?”

As I replied to her that “we get what we pay for,” she confronted me: “How would you know if they’re deceiving you?”

Her words made me really frustrated. I spent a lot of money to treat her and her husband, but her comments hurt my pride.

On one hand, I still enjoy gossiping with her. On the other hand, I always feel frustrated due to her negative mindset.

What should I do with this friendship?
