If a person literally talks about their own life, home problems etc. year in year out, what is the matter with them-seriously?

This person has always been the same, and so has her brother, although not quite so over the top. Should have said they do not complain, only dominate the conversation. Any problem they have only fuels the intensity.

Hello,
(ANS) In my humble opinion and from my own experience, people winge, moan & complian ALOT and frankly its utterly normal. (You may NOT like it? it might hack you off after a short time,etc,etc).
This is one of the many ways people stay sane!! if we werent allowed to moan, complain, and otherwise chew over our problems (with others or by ourselves) we would have a much sadder, madder society.
**The only thing I would say about the person you've mentiond, is that sometimes if a person talks about themselves ALOT but nothing changes then thats not very helpful (apparently). Then its clear that they are either very stuck in a rut, desperately lonely or feeling genuinely depressed.
**Bear in mind that everyone is different and that for one person a problem is solvable and not the end of the world. But the same problem to someone else is like mount everest, they feel they cannot see a way up or forwards.
**If you want to be a good friend to someone like this, just listening would be enough. That may be all they need, you may not think its helping much but it probably is. But in subtle ways, ways that might not seem obvious at the time but only become clear many months later.

Are you talking about my best friend. hehe you just perfectly described what she does (I've asked a question previously about her behaviour).
I put it down to wanting attention which she gets a lot of mostly male. Being slightly self-centred/vain. Always has to mention her problems if i say something that wrong with me. She had a abusive childhood which i think has attributed to her always wanting to feel worse off than others.
Damn annoying.

Most of the human race is self-centered, and sadly not many have learnt that to listen to others is part of good conversation. If they did listen, they'd realise that lots of people have similar problems, and a trouble shared is a trouble halved.

Nothing's wrong. They are normal but dull.
I prefer people talking about their own problems than my problems (especially my inlaws).
But most people like to talk about themselves. It's part of being human.
