My friend is really self absorbed and it can be exhausting

They're always talking about themselves. They only care about themselves it seems. They can never do wrong in their minds. It's getting a bit tiring. We jam to music together and they'll literally sing over music I'm playing with a different song. They can never engage in a conversation about my interests. In fact they said I can't talk about my interests that much because it overwhelms them,meanwhile they overwhelm me so much with their interests. Theyll literally say so much about themselves before they ever ask about me. They brag a lot too. They over explain things to me. If I say something they dont like they blame it on my mental illness.

I like spending time with them but they get In the stuff I mentioned above. I don't know how to manage it and actually have a conversation with them sometimes.

He was a very rude and difficult person to deal with too.


I also used to associate with a mom who had two kids on the spectrum. The last time I saw her, I realized that she enjoyed being the center of attention. Not only did she cut me off when I was trying to talk to her but she took over the conversation. I could not get a word in edgewise. She also seemed to show off by taking me to this fancy health club and these little creative landscapes. Yet, at no time did she seem interested in what was going on in my life. Yet, when I did try to express myself, she seemed to be annoyed with me and disappeared on me for a year and a half. At that point, I deleted her from my Fakebook account only to have her attempt to re-add me. However, I was done with her at that point and put my foot down along with calling her out for disappearing on me it was
