[quote=Anonymous] NP here - thank you "air-sucking" PP for telling your story. Hopefully your sister will appreciate one day that you listened to her for so many years. I have an "air-sucking" friend. Since I'm the type to listen, for a while we got along wonderfully. However after many years I see that she needs to tone it down - I've heard all her childhood stories, I've heard all her current angsts, I can predict the next thing that will throw her for a loop and how many seconds I will have to get a word in about my own life. The interesting thing is that it all boils down to anxiety and low-self-esteem. Anxiety about themselves or their spouses or children, plus low confidence that they're handling it right. They need to talk about it and seek external validation all the time. It's exhausting, exactly like OP said. I love my friend - she is intelligent and generous. In small doses :-) [/quote]
