So, I have a close friend who is starting to get some attention and "fame," but it's for all the wrong reasons. Honestly, it's a mess, and I’m super concerned for her future, but she doesn’t seem to realize it.

The problem is, she’s completely delusional about it. She genuinely thinks that the attention she’s getting is positive and that she’s just “living her truth.” The truth is, though, she’s making some really questionable choices online and in her personal life, and I’m afraid it’s going to backfire in a huge way. It's the kind of thing that could seriously damage her reputation, career prospects, and personal relationships if it continues.

I care about her and don’t want to see her ruin her life, but I also don’t want to be the one to burst her bubble. I’ve seen people who’ve been in similar situations spiral after hearing harsh truths from friends, so I’m stuck. Do I confront her and risk our friendship (and possibly push her further into denial) or just step back and let her figure it out on her own? I don’t want to be a bystander, but at the same time, I’m unsure how to approach this without making things worse.

AITA for not stepping in or should I be the one to talk to her?
