I Can’t Stand Self-Centered “Friends”
I can’t stand people who call you their friend when all they do is talk about themselves. It gets me so mad.
The whole point about a friend is to listen to each other. I mean let the other person have one or two words in.
I have this friend that everytime I talk about something good that I did or that happened to me she always has to have something beter or do something beter so she changes the subject into one about her.
She also lies to her boyfriend and then tries to get me to do lie for her and when I tell her no she gets all mad. Like she has a reason to be mad at me!!!
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

I totally agree with anita…. my friend every time i try to tell her about something bad or good that happened to me my friend always interupts me and has to tell me something that is better or worse than what i am telling her. She never lets me finish anything i am telling her. It’s soooo annoying! She does this to me everytime. It’s always her her her…anyway thanx for letting me get that off my chest.
I know what you mean. By definition,
listening goes with the territory of being a real
a friend. I have a “friend”who I now just e-mail because
when I called her she was rude and self absorbed.
I know she was terribly busy and stressed out but can
I really keep giving her breaks on her rude self centeredness?
So now she e-mails me and we are e-mailing and its ALL
ABOUT HER all the time. ugh. Its like she thinks she is
more important than me.
I should be beyond this, I am not a young kid.
I can either 1. let her know 2. back off the “friendship” for a while or 3. drop a hint.
I don’t feel I want to cut it off totally, we
used to live in the same city and are now long distance “friends”. So it is not even someone I am
in close contact with all the time. Either she has changed or I did not notice the self centeredness before,
I think it is the first - she has changed.
