[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had friends who were always having some sort of crisis, such that they in essence required themselves to be centered in any conversation. Like everything was a dire moment. After a while it felt like I was just a therapist who got trauma-dumped on constantly. Backing away from those friends has cleared a lot of room in my life.[/quote] Reminds me of a couple of my wife's friends. There are two of them with the same patterns. She invites me to sit in with her when they'd come over, and I usually decline because the conversation will be something like 85% devoted to their dietary restrictions, drama surrounding their kids' being trans, and/or their various health complaints. You get both of those friends in the same conversation, and it's just going to be three hours on those topics. I like wine and socializing, but on those nights, I'm headed to the basement to watch a movie with a lot of explosions. [/quote]
