[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IDK, our neighbor has multiple conversations, out on the street walking her dog, many times a day. With all neighbors she only talks about herself.[/quote] I mean... does she live alone? Does she engage with the world in ways other than medical appointments? Her life likely centers on walking her dog and dealing with various ailments. While I do think one of the PPs was a bit unkind, it is true that your world can shrink when you become very old. You are likely one of the few opportunities for social engagement this person has. I know hearing about aches and pains for an hour is grating, but its a small act of kindness that you can offer.[/quote]
