One Sided Friendship

[breadstick]

I have been friends with someone for a few years now and the latest conversation I had kind of sums up the nature of it

She mentions a health issue she has I comment on it offer possible solutions then I mention an issue I have that is keeping me off work, she proceeds to totally ignore what I said and and keeps on talking about her own issue, if this was a one off I'd understand but virtually every single time the conversation is dominated by her issues her problems rarely if ever does she ask about my welfare

Is there a way of approaching this to he without causing a row or should I just withdraw gradually from the friendship because I really can't be bothered anymore

I think you've answered your own question in the last few words of your post.

If I were in your shoes, I think I'd have given up long before now.

You can try and approach her .... but be prepared to walk away.

Good luck with whatever you decide  :)

Yes, withdraw if that's what you want.

 

Or you could start all conversations with her thus :- "Let's concentrate on your major issue then, your total narcissism. How can we overcome that unfortunate trait of yours which will lose you friends"

I'd drop her if I were you.  Unfortunately I have a relative like that who phones to tell me about all his perceived ills when I'm the one with a terminal illness.  Never asks me how I am.

Get rid, it shouldn't be too hard to find someone nicer.  Good luck with it.
