I can't anymore

I have to literally rudely interrupt my friend to get a word in edgewise. We talk about her her her her all the time. She can't even tell my daughters apart and they don't even look that similar.

Is this a new thing?

Maybe she just doesn't realize it or have the self awareness to know how she comes across.

If you like her and value her friendship you just have to let her know.

I have a friend that changed and similarly talks non-stop and repeats the same stories. I cut him right off and bluntly point it out to him, he also goes off on wild tangents that have no relation to anything, when I point it out, he said "yeah that's what my wife said" 😂....sooo I reduced my time with him including texts...I think he's getting the gist...

@fun4us2b no she's been like this

@Nebula Seems you like her though....you can just push in on the convos as needed. You might want to rehearse a little.

Friendship takes work...on both sides.

@fun4us2b of course I love her, I just get frustrated because it's like everyone wants to feel heard

@Nebula It's a 2-way street - maybe you can think about stuff to beef about before you meet so you can beat her to the gate!
