[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also relate deeply to what OP is talking about, this feeling of irritation when someone is talking about some plans and you know they are blowing hot air and they've done so before...  I can't even remember the last time I've had this type of conversation but I know that it's happened and that it really irritates me.

I think the problem is me, not the other person.  It's not my problem what this person does, why the heck am I so invested?  I think for me it's such a contrast to my own style- I'm not going to say I'm doing something unless I fully plan on doing it.[/quote]

My FIL is like this. Makes himself out to be a hero yet won’t answer any key questions or provide details that make sense. Can’t follow a conversation well so recites it totally off to you and the next person. Can’t see danger or issues so those compound. Looks in wonderment at others and cannot fathom how they are doing what they are doing.

It used to be destabilizing to me since I keep trying to explain things or give more examples or help him. It was exhausting. They lived far away so I only had this twilight zone experience like in a couple clumps a year and my spouse was normalized to it - and ignoring his father entirely, which I could not fathom.

Anyhow, now I fathom it.[/quote]
