I have this friend who is always complaining about his life, he is always bitching, always acting depressed because he " hates how shit is going" in his life. He always complains to me and then treats me like shit when I give him honest advice like "Don't just sit there and complain 24/7 get off your ass and change the way things are going." But he would rather bitch about his life and say he wishes he was dead instead of do stuff to change it. It has started to wear on me worrying about him. As much as I try to help him it just seems as if he would rather  be a martyr and be like "oh poor me" than do anything to make his life better.

Any advice for me?
Any advice for him?

He has an account on here so he might see it.

It's not that he CAN'T, he WON'T.

But I don't really think he has anyone else to talk to about it.

XXXXXXXXXXX(11:00:06 PM): i hope i die soon
MISS maDEJA vu (11:00:17 PM): Why?
XXXXXXXXXXX (11:00:23 PM): i hate how shit is going
MISS maDEJA vu (11:00:34 PM): How is that?
MISS maDEJA vu (11:04:16 PM): Okay, you don't wanna talk?
MISS maDEJA vu (11:08:41 PM): If you don't like how stuff is going, don't just sit and complain about it 24/7 go and do something to change it.

And he hasn't responded for like 15 minutes.
