[quote=Anonymous]It’s a family member I see quite frequently this time of year with the holidays and many family birthdays that fall at the end of the year. I don’t know how else to describe them other than they are this silly heart who seems to fully LIVE in this delusional space where they believe these dreams they’ve made up about their life, because they never happen, yet they take up so much space in every conversation you engage in with them.

It could be as extreme as: Roger and I are talking about divorce, I’m going to find an apartment … to Wr are looking at houses in Puerto Rico to overwinter. You know Roger can work from anywhere so we are moving to PR … to as simple as I’ve been researching chinchillas and I’m getting one next week.

These things never EVER pan out. I made myself try to think of one before posting this that actually happened, and no. They are always tall tales or delusions/dreams.

I spend so much time, I feel wasted, seeming interested in these stories, going back and forth, asking questions, and for nothing. It makes ME feel crazy. I don’t think this person suffers from mental illness, maybe just a little unhappiness and definitely low self esteem.

How do you deal with this? How can I humor this person without feeling like I’m wasting energy? [/quote]
