Am I a terrible friend??

Friend and I have been friends for a few years now and have been quite close in that time. Trouble is just lately I find her so boring and annoying. She takes over every conversation and waffles on and on about herself. She loves telling everyone about her culture (and yes it was interesting the first few times) but two years later she's repeating the same stuff over and over again and everyone feels that they have to sit and listen but I can tell other people are getting bored too. The other day a big group of us were sat around a table for lunch and this friend began waffling on and on from the moment we sat down and was still waffling an hour later. In sheer boredom me and another friend began talking between ourselves about something entirely unrelated and she looked offended but how do you tell someone they're boring you??!

You say 'You've told me that before' every time she tells you something you've already heard. Eventually she'll get the message.

I'd take a break from the friend and then maybe next time you see them they might be more interesting / less me me me?

Maybe the friendship has run its course?

It doesn't sound like you like her anymore.
