There's always that one person...

It seems like there is always one person in a group that pulls at your strings. For me, my boyfriend and I only have one group of friends. It's a small group of six, including ourselves. I genuinely like all of the guys except for one of our friend's girlfriend, Samantha. She has some serious emotional issues. It seems one minute she's happy, the next ten minutes she's mopey and the next 20 minutes she's bitchy. It's a vicious cycle. It seems the only time she is happy is when the attention is on her. It's so aggravating and it's a burden. They are the only group of friends I have in my life and it's really hard to tolerate her. Everyone else doesn't seem to notice, except my boyfriend and occasionally her tries to cater to her and it frustrates me even more. I don't know if it's because I am a woman and she's the only other female in the group or if I am just sensitive to emotions. I am an introvert and a group of six is a strain for me to begin with. Ugh. What should I do? By the end of any social gathering I am so angry and frustrated with her frequent swings of emotion that I am grumpy and it's obvious to everyone. Go figure, I end up looking like the bad guy because I am grumpy. I hate to seem like the bad guy when it was her mood swings that got to me. I just feel a lot of weight on my shoulders, because this is the only group of friends we have and it's not like I can just avoid her when she is fully apart of the group as well. How am I supposed to deal with her?
