voluntary work is a good way to meet people, gain people skills and be trained for free too! maybe you could do it together?

Tell her the blunt truth - sugarcoating won't resolve her dilemma or motivate her to make efforts at "getting beyond it."

She is family, be blunt with her and tell her like it is, especially seeing that you get along with her. You're trying to help. She may get upset for a while (hopefully not start a family feud/war) but you are blood.

if s/he asked you directly...I think you should have just told him/her the sort of things s/he does that put people off. Being specific is important in cases where the person is unaware.

Difficult to answer accurately. It depends on the person's character, his ability to listen and willingness to change ....

Why bother being blunt? Just tell her that she is a real pain in the a$$ to be around. If that hurts her feelings...tough.
