I mean, my best friend never used to be like that, but now all she wants to do is talk about her.I mean, we dont have to necessarily talk about me, but we can talk about other things. Its like when i try to mention something in my life, she's like, " i dont know..." and sounds all bored, and changed the subject to herself. Its so annoying, I've dropped hints, but she's not getting it. What should I do? Any suggestions.
(isn't that so annoying?!)

My husband is actually a little like this. He will talk on and on about anything that interests him or pertains to his life but doesn't want to hear about anything else. Drives me crazy! I have no idea what to do about it - been married for 19 years now...

I have had this happen before. I have made the decision only to keep real friends in my life. The people that are always there when I need them and the ones that I am the one they call for advise when they need it. I have broken many friendships because they were selfish and one sided. I was honest and told them that I did not have the time or energy to deal with their drama and I didn't see our relationship as anything but annoying. Good luck!!

Yes it is very annoying! I can't stand people who just go no and on about themselves! I'd just simply come out and tell her " Do you know you talk about yourself a lot?" Not that it's a bad thing, but I'd like to be able to share stuff about me as well! And see what she says it may make her a little upset but its better to be blunt then just beating around the bush! Its straight to the point and you can talk about it with each other. Good luck!

Actually I have a good friend that does the same thing. It always comes back to her. That trait bothers others in our group more than me. I choose to look at the situation in a different light. Many things that come back to being about her I view as being an outlet for things that are troubling her. We are like a pressure valve outlet for her to get some of the frustrations out that are so much on her mind.

Yah your right that is annoying but you cant blow up in her face write her a note, e-mail her, or text her cause its kind of hard to say these things tell her how you feel and maybe try to start out with a I really like our friendship and I care about you alot but lately you've been acting different.....or something like that
Hope I could help,
Britt

People change. Maybe you've outgrown her. Do you think you are important to each other, or do you have other friends who think more like you right now? You may want or need closer ties with them instead. Just remember, if you move on it is unlikely you will want to go back. Your friend will become a part of your past.

If you confront her, she will most likely get defensive and go into denial. I say treat others how you want to be treated. Start doing the same thing to her just to show her how it feels. But, don't go over board or be mean about it. Maybe she'll catch a glimpse of herself and knock it off.

gurl, maybe you always bored her, which mean you are naturally boring, but you have to find something to talk about, talk about your bf or your future if it's exciting you don't want her to drop the bomb on you. Good luck...

oh my that must be really annoying, if she doesn't get the hints then stop talking to her, you don't need conceded friends. she must have problems, let her be for a while then come back to her.

my old best friend was just like that if i tried to tell her something she would roll her eyes and just ignore me or stuff like that it kind of ruined the whole friendship because i felt like she just wanted me to leave explain it to her let her know how you feel when she does that and that you need to feel like she cares about you too
