[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to be blunt. I just have to *massive eyeroll* at the PP who stated that she was the same as the OP's sister, then proceeded, at OP's request, to suck the life out of this post. Start your own post, PP. This is about OP.

OP, I'd accept that this is who she is and take her in limited doses. It must feel crazy for her to be her. Possibly she's manic, or a narcissist, or overcompensating for self-esteem issues, or she's a people pleaser, or she's uncomfortable with silences and has to fill them. Who knows. If you are close enough, and she admits/agrees that she does this and needs help (ie, if this topic has been previously well-travelled in the past by you or your sibs and it's accepted all around as fact, even by sister) then maybe you could establish a gentle codeword or look you can give her to rein it in when she's dominating the social situation.

If she's not aware/not self-reflective enough to realize sucks the air out, like the PP, then I suggest you merely enjoy her "charm" in limited doses.[/quote]

OP dis ask her to share, so your eye rolling is misplaced.  I don't have a dog in this fight, but she did offer a different side to the story.[/quote]
