I have a "friend", let's call her Mary.
Mary seems nice enough. She's two years younger than me and isn't particularly mature. Chatty, outgoing etc. But when anyone mentions anything Mary immediately responds with a comment like "oh I did that/have that/ my friend X said that was rubbish.."
Now, I'm fully prepared to be told IABU, but isn't it slightly very fucking annoying that whatever subject is being discussed, Mary will draw the conversation back to herself. If, for example, the ladies are discussing Spain and all of them have been there but she hasn't then the response isn't "I've never been there.." it's along the lines of "Spain?! I would NEVER go there! Why go there when you can go to insert a place she has been in a bid to look flasher"
It sets my teeth on edge and I want to slap her hard challenge her then in a second she's smiling like the lady Madonna.
AIBU to HATE people who can't have a NORMAL conversation without being insecure and bitchy? More importantly, is there a name for this condition? I have never ever heard her express genuine happiness for anyone or any kindness. It's just all about her, her experiences, her opinion etc. Is she ill? Am I unreasonable?
Fully prepared for a total flaming.
