special person or attention seeker?

Hi Dear i can understand the position u r in, i think its some sort of Complex, so i dont mind and i dont potray that i have heard it before, its some of my listening ability make her happy then let it be. Some people are self centred , and their workd revolve around them selve i know few of them and i dont mind, and i always appreciate their Great Work Take care

Believe me... there are a lot of people like that in this world... i have met a few of them... and i would just end up realizing how insecure they are about their life... and the need constant reassurance that they are beautiful... great... etc... etc... if you are the patient type of person... hang around until you get a chance to change the topic... something not about herself nor yourself... if she is the open minded type... she will get that you want to talk about something else... but if she reverts the topic to herself again... try to think very hard if you really want to keep her as a friend...

I try to listen but after awhile I get bored with someone talking about their self and everything about them. I try to get in another subject somewhere like talikng about a tv show that I enjoy watching or a movie that I have just seen just to change the subjuct of someone talking about thier self.

Hi checapricorn, I have afriend like that. Everytime we talked it was always about ME, ME, ME. I just tired of it. I don't talk to her as much, because when I do,it start again, I mean, we talk that often and when we do, it's all about her. I'll email her once in a while, just to see what she doing, but I stay away from her. Does your friend ever ask you, how you are doing. If you like to remind friends, maybe you should do the same to her and see if she notices. That if you get a chance to get a word in.

Hello checapricorn, I don't have this type of friend but I know a friend who seems to know everything in this world. Just talk about anything, she seems to know the best. At first, I just felt amazing to get to know someone who seems to be smart and glad to have her as one of my friends. At the end, I realized that she is too much. I am not saying that she is bad but I just can't stand her anymore. Whatever you say is wrong, whatever you know is just not complete and she seems to know the whole thing better than anyone in the world. When you talk about holiday in certain country, she knows better. When you talk about medicine to cure this or that illness, she knows all the medicine available in the world. So what I am doing now is just listen and be like this stupid lady who knows nothing. I agree with her in everything and I never start a new discussion with her. It really saves my time whenever I have to be around her.

usually people like that don't get any better. some may change after bad experience or tragedies and it helps them be aware of others. but there is no gaurantee. some people are like that their entire life even if that have a family. they don't take good care of their family and are disfunctional with caring for the kids because they only care for themselves. it's best not to get too involved with them.

I can't say that I have ever hung out with anyone that has done nothing but talk aboout themselves. But I have had people repeat stories to me over and over again and I have done the same. That usually happens because their memory (mine included) isn't the best and we tend to forget that we have already told that story. Hope that helps!

No it is not you.This girl may be very nice but she is hungup on herself and everything is all about her..That is a very selfish trait,and i would not enjoy the company of a person like this..Its ok to talk about yourself some but she needs to take a breath and ask about you for a change...She is bragging on herself and not much for conversation..I had a friend and still do but she is away right now but all she talks about is how mad she is all the time,and is constantly talking about others and what they are doing to her and how bad she is treated,and it gets old...She has lost all of her friends and i am the only one that will talk to her anymore..If i had not known her for years ,i think i would probably end that friendship....

This person is very self-centered, and I don't blame you for feeling the way you feel about her. Why must we go on and on about you and what you do? This person may be a good person, but to be around her must be very boring. Its not you that is close minded, its her that is full of herself. I wonder if she, or other people like this for that matter, are really insecure, and must talk about themselves all the time to feel better. You are a better person than me, because I would not hang with this person at all, unless I was suffering from insomnia, then I would call her on the phone for one of her "self-stories"!

I have very few friends that I want to hang with. I certainly don't want to spend any time with anyone whose only topic of conversation is herself. I would have to be pretty desperate to do that, hand with someone I do not like at all.

Hi Checapricorn, I think we all know people that are me, me, me. It probably isn't intentional but she may feel insecure and to make herself feel better shares the things that have happened that are funny and that happened when she felt good. If she is a lovely person the next time she starts of one of her repeat stories politely interupt and say something like, you have told me that just so many times and laugh and say now let me tell you and take the lead in the conversation and keep doing it so it is a two way thing and she will probably realise or bring the conversation up to date by talking about a shared moment you have both had. I hope all this has made sense. I know I have been guilty in the past of this as I just get so excited over something and just have to share over and over he, he. not so much these days though. Sounds like she just needs to be taught to listen too really. Ellie :D

Yes I have a friend like that, she has become better over the years though. However she was exactly the same always talking about herself praising herself in every aspect of her life. Nothing wrong with a little confidence but to boast all the time is a bit much I think, modesty goes along way. I did the same as you listen, nod my head, and say yeah, that's good, and so on. It does get a bit tiring after a while, communication should be a two way street. So I don't think you are being close minded at all. I hope you can manage to get a word in soon, lol. Maybe when she keeps talking about herself you could change the subject every now and then.

Well, I have had friends like that who would always talk about themselves and probably will have more in the future. I must admit, it can be annoying but just like you, I keept it to myself. As long as they don't say anything bad or insulting to me or they don't give me any unfair remarks about other people, I won't mind it that much. I won't go with them by choice but I won't avoid them either.

Well, I have know such friends like this you have, but you know what I do? after I get bored with the repeated stories as your friend say, I start do like she do and with every story he told me about him self I tell him a story of myself too, and by the time he notice that I will start on myself whenever he do, so he stop that, and I was so comfortable for it, lol. I hope that can help you to deal with her, have a nice day.

Hun, she's self-centered and if you want to only talk about her, then fine, but if you want to talk about anything else, she will be rude and act bored and will hurt you. I advise staying away, very far away. Well, unless she's paying you to be her "yes man."

She may not be a bad person but she sure is into herself. Some people are just like that and it really isn't a fault, it's just who she is and if you want to be her friend it is something you will have to accept. Maybe some time down the road, after you have known her for awhile, you can have a little chat with her about it. But you need to ask yourself if it is worth the time and effort it will take to develop a good enough friendship that the time will ever come that you can talk to her about it. I personally, would not want to go out with her anymore, but that is just me. I am not saying that you shouldn't go out with her, it is your choice, my friend. Good luck with your decission.

gut says she's self centered, but experience says she just doesn't know how to hold a conversation. She is living her life, so that is what she knows to talk about. With people like this, you just have to find the right time to lead the conversation.

Hi friend. I've tried to hangout with a friend like this before. I am a frank person so everytime she open an old topic about herself or how her life has been, I tell her that "Yeah, I know, You've told me that before". Then she'd stop and when she opened it again, I will come up with another topic so she will stop. LOL. It's really annoying and sometimes irritating to hear the same topic over and over again. I think those people would like that your attention would always be with them. In tagalog, we call it K.S.P. or "Kulang sa pansin". LOL. Keep posting. HUGZ!

She sounds kind of a little stuck up and a very big attention seeker and I do not see how you can put up with hanging out with her without telling her to shut up,I have had a couple friends who have been self centered and always liked to talk about themselves all the time,and for a while I would just ignore them and act like I was listening,and then after a while I got fed up with it and just stopped hanging out with them all together because I did not want to insult them or start a fight because I do not like confrontation.

I have meet a few like this. Sometimes it helps to confront them by saying, yeah I know you have already said that. Sometimes it don't. IMO, Some people are so conceded, that is just how they are and sometimes it just because they don't have a real life and don't know how to interact with others. It's just something you will have to figure out. If it's kinds easy to change subject and show them other things to talk about, then this friendship may work, but if it don't help, then maybe not. Good luck!
