Any reason why have you not registered or re applied yet?

I have a college friend who I ocassionally catch up with via chats (and mas madalang in person) pero napansin ko lang na pag nagkakamustahan lagi na lang sya miserable. It's either about her work not being good, her dating life being in shambles, her finances not being okay.

Most recently nitong weekend, she extended her greeting to my mom for mother's day and I did the same syempre. Tapos inask nya how did we celebrate. Sabi ko lang we had lunch as a family at home and of course I asked din how did they celebrate. "Normal day lang. Gusto ko sana mag order ng food for mama kaso wala akong pera." It just felt off kasi she opened the topic knowing that I will ask back. Tapos ganyan yung reply like she was setting me up to hear about how miserable her weekend was.

And no, pangungutang is off the table (we're not close like that) pero she just presents herself that way lagi, para bang victim at walang kaligayahan sa buhay (kahit she has reasons to be). And okay lang naman to rant/vent paminsan minsan but to ALWAYS take the conversation sa route na yun... or, like this weekend, to set up the conversation where she can make herself sound miserable again?
