Friend turns something positive into something negative - how to respond?

Instead of talking about your own wedding try ASKING A QUESTION once in a while. Jesus.

She’s just not that into you. Leave her be and stop asking to get together with her.

I am OP.
I loved the planning of our own wedding. We got married 10 months after DH popped the question and we did all the work with no stress.
I should have become a wedding planner LOL.


OMG you are 52 and still thinking about your wedding. I doubt you have any idea what goes into planning a modern wedding vs. what we did 15-30 years ago. Also it seems like you only talk about yourself. Have you tried asking other people about themselves or making any effort to continue a conversation?

When someone asks you where you are going on vacation you should tell them and then say “have you been there?” Or “do you have any trips coming up?”. If you just tell me the location and say nothing else, I think that is rude.


OP.
I didn't have a chance to continue the conversation or ask her questions. She promptly said she had to go and walked off.

I usually like asking people about their trips, and looking at the pictures they took.


Total troll post.

Yes, of course I do. I made sure to ask about her daughter's wedding and I said how happy I am for the couple.
I always ask people about their life, and I listen and respond to what they tell me. I also volunteer information about myself, if they don't initiate and ask me. That's how conversations flow.


You are teaching us about conversations flow… you who responded to a complaint about planning a daughter’s wedding by saying… “I was SO AWESOME at planning my wedding 25 years ago!!!”

This has got to be a troll. Not even a good one.

It sounds like she's sick of you bragging, OP.
