How do you deal with people who's soul topic of conversation is themself?
I find it so exhausting trying to have any type of conversation because I never seem to get a word in edgeways, I feel like I have something to say and I'm waiting to take my chance to jump in and when I do they continue to just talk over me.
I have a friend who is like this, she is a lovely person but when I'm with her we only ever talk about her, and anything I say is swept to one side.
My sister is also like this, to the point that I've actually told her that she was the most self obsessed person I know and pointed out in every conversation we have she never once asks me about my life or the kids. I find it so exhausting having hour long phone conversations where all I really say is "yeah" and "mmm" on repeat. I sometimes avoid answering but obviously she is my sister and I love her, I can't just permanently avoid her.
If you've come across this type of person, how do you deal with it?!
