Have just had something of an epiphany. Finally realised am being taken for a chump by a friend, who is actually leaching off me in every way: emotionally, conversationally and it's always me who gets the coffees in! Sick of it. All conversations revolve around her and her life, then mine is squeezed in at the end so there's never any more than time for "fine, thanks" before it's time to go.
No more. The worm has turned. But how can I turn effectively and ensure this is the end of this type of behaviour?
Why do people not listen any more? Is it me? Have noticed this more and more recently - they aren't interested in what the other person has to say.
