I think Panthy IS your friend, she just sees things in a different way to you and sometimes her comments can seem harsh - not everyone is diplomatic all the time, even though their intentions are for the best.

I'll give you an example:

My friend might keep going on about a guy who she's madly in love with, but the guy pays her no interest right? So, after many discussions she might come out with the phrase 'oh, but I love him'!! So, face to face I'll say to her - 'shut the fuck up!' - but the difference is, she can see me, she can read my face - she'll know I'm just concerned or despairing. That often doesn't come across in text. In text, and depending on your mood, it's easy to see that person (mentally) frowning and shouting at you.

Also, people will say things to you in text that they may not dare say to your face, and you really have no way of knowing how they mean it - so, you imagine how they mean it, and that can be good, or it can be bad.

I hope that made some kind of sense.
