You did what you had to do and that was to talk some sense into her. People aren't going to change because someone told them to unless it's on their own terms.

The fact is, there are many people in this world who have self confidence issues. Some people make themselves feel better by boasting how beautiful they are (like your friend), overly pronounce how much of a sex obsessed person they are, how they are "better" than you with the lavish gifts they receive or buy, or how they are so ugly that no one could ever want them etc etc only to try and gain attention from people so they'll feel accepted.

It's never going to fully stop until they realize on their own what they are doing is self damaging to their self image and mentality. You did what you could and you should just leave it at that.

There's this girl on my fb that spends every second of her day saying how sad she is, how life fucking sucks all because she craves being in love. Everytime a new guy starts to like her, she automatically falls head over heels in love and eventually chases him away (sometimes even before it happens!) because she's so fucking desperate. I want to tell her to slow her role but I know it will do nothing. So instead, I let her do her thing, she cries her little eyes out for months cause she's so insecure, the "relationship" ends, she cries some more...then finds a new guy...starts "smiling again and feeling positive" and the cycle continues until she finds her next John. She won't realize how stupid this all is until she actually starts to realize she's a mess and needs to figure her own shit out for once.
