Along with completely ignoring everyone else in their life, the same people who have been supporting their sloth lifestyle all these years and letting it happen due to supporting their income and giving them a home. I can see in hindsight how this can be read that way, but I definitely don't think I am.
And I stand by the fact that if somebody is upset about the state of their life, health, etc yet will ignore anyone who tries to help them while complaining to those same people constantly, it's annoying!

A good ol' saying goes: "Remove the log in your eye before attempting to remove the speck in your friend's eye."
In other words, you likely have just as many problems as your friend but they just manifest themselves differently. Your friends problem may be laziness and procrastination but judging from your post, you may struggle with judging others and pride.
The best way to help your friend is to understand where s/he is coming from. Like her, you have an issue that you've been struggling with for some time even though you've likely been offered the resources to fix it. You more than likely have been stressing out and getting annoyed over your friends situation, probably ignoring the advice to mind your business and let her make her mistakes. How about you figure out how to give over your issues, so you can properly help your friend get over her's. Remove the log in your eye, so you can help remove the speck in her's.
