I have a friend almost exactly like friend B and had to take a major step back because of the outbursts and lack of impulse control.

Another friend who is a very nice person, but has gotten worse and worse with her inability to shut up. Every social gathering that she is at is dominated by her because she just never stops talking, and telling some long-winded irrelevant story. I don't remember it being so obnoxious until the last year or so.

Hi PP, sorry you are going through the same. I don’t think it’s a DC thing - one of the friends I mentioned is several states away. It feels like some personality traits that existed before have been turned waaaay up. Like caricatures of their former selves. I could take it in small doses, but it feels bad now.

It's not a DC thing. I have a friend group from college. We've done girls trips for going on 30 years. When we were 40 we did a weeklong surf camp in Costa Rica. For 50 we talked about a week in Paris. We ended up going to one of their beach houses for a long weekend and that seemed to be enough. The woman I consider myself closest to has become sort of unbearable. I feel really bad about saying that. But one of the other women remarked on it a few years ago. The conversations are very much all about her, long, loud, and kind of braggy. She was always a little gossipy, but now it seems flat out mean.

It's really a bummer.[/quote]
