I have a friend whose behaviour and attitude are really bothering me. I used to really enjoy her company but now I find myself increasingly irritated.
She never compliments anyone, but shows people her new clothes, decor and cars as if she's expecting praise. She's become very self absorbed and talks about work all the time. She's had a promotion and her Facebook page is full of pictures of her at her desk looking senior.
She also said recently that my job (I've done for almost 10 years) is a great entry level position. I felt extremely patronised. She said she'd never be a single parent (I am), She said she wished I could find a kind man like her husband (don't want or need a man. Her husband is serially unfaithful), and everything I mention is responded with something about her.
"That's why I bought a BMW", "My friend's son went to your DD's school and they all thought it was awful", "I am very disciplined" and the classic "I don't mind when people don't fancy me".
She used to be lovely, thoughtful, understanding and kind. She now feels shallow and superficial.
I'm trying to cut her out, but I'm worried that something is wrong. She has never been the kind of person who says anything negative about herself or her life so I have no way of knowing.
AIBU to just avoid her?
