What would you do if you had a friend that was self-centered?
I’ve been friends with this girl for 13 years. I used to be super quiet back then and she was really talkative and she just decided to befriend me. She was my only friend and over the years we just kept each other in our lives despite having little in common.
Anyways, I don’t know why I put up with it for many years but I’m beginning to be really irritated and notice how she talks about herself all the time. I guess since I’ve learned to be more open the past few years I’m not used to her dismissing what I have to say.
She never asks me questions, she always talks about every little single detail of her life and it’s always mindless gossip. I’ve done so many interesting things like traveling to Asia, snowboarding, rock climbing, and when I try to tell her about it she just responds with a couple comments and talks about herself again. It’s also annoying how she always makes it seem like she’s bragging.
“This girl hates me at work because I’m pretty.” or “She’s only nice to me because I’m pretty.” “Is it wrong for me to love the way I look and be thankful?” She says a lot of shallow things like that. She even brags about her future career that she’ll be making tons of money more than everyone and that the guy she is seeing..the two of them will be a double threat.
It’s beginning to drive me crazy. She’s a terrible listener! When my bf of 5½ years broke up with me I was crying and she was sitting there talking about her crush!!
What would you do if you had a friend like this? It’s hard to break off a friendship you’ve had with someone for many years.
