Re: Guilt
(Anonymous) 2013-03-26 04:38 am (UTC)(link)Be her friend, remind her she's a kind and good person, remind her of good things she's actually done and good qualities she has. If she's on Tumblr, try to distract her away from there (not necessarily completely, just so she spends less time there). Don't try to argue her out of her opinions, though; I think you'll have to treat this the same way as helping someone get out of an emotionally abusive relationship or a destructive religious movement. It's got to be on her terms, or she might feel like she's gone back to the dark side (and not in the fun way) if she listens to you. Encourage her to think for herself and trust her own judgment in SJ questions, and remind her that kindness can never really be wrong.
One thing that helped me was learning that "actual" social justice activists are not too pleased about calling-out culture and other typical SJW behaviors, since they're often counterproductive.
Lastly, remember you can't fix your friend. Only she can do that, if and only if she wants to. And take care of yourself. *hugs*
