Sounds like you guys are jealous of each other. Did all of this just start once her boyfriend entered the picture.
No.
Here's the thing. I think she tries to make me jealous. If I say something positive about myself, she either gives me a firm 'good for you' or switches the conversation to her. For these past few years, I've become very discrete especially when it comes to my successes because I know it gets to her. But yet, she doesn't hesitate to flaunt her achievements, her salary, her man, her life. She can go on for hours on end about herself.

Asides for that, she's an awesome friend. But I think this is something I will always have to put up with. It's okay for her to brag, boast, say weird comments but if I do it, complete hell on Earth.
That's an awesome friend? Aside from being a b-itch?
OP, You have two choices.
One is to continue to tolerate this type of treatment and the other is to quit allowing this type of treatment.
Real friends do not treat each other as you have described.
You need to make a decision one way or the other then take the necessary steps to get this person out of your life or quit complaining about how you are treated by this person.

I know. I would like to keep the friendship because she has been very supportive of me in other ways. I think next time she says a negative or awkward comment, I will be more blunt the way she has been with me.
The friend is insecure. She needs to make these comments in an attempt to build herself up. In actuality, she thinks you are better than she is.
