[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was a slow thing. I realized that all we were doing was talking about her issues. Her job, her kids, her partner. Do not get me wrong, I loved to listen. I felt like she did not return the favor. The problem is that she did have a more important and harder job, I did not had a kid, or partner issues. She actually asked me once to talk about my problems but then any time I did talk about them she complained that it was too much and she did not have space/time. She took took took and then my therapist said it was toxic. My therapist explained at as sunk costs. I kept throwing more attention at her hoping she would be a good friend eventually and I did not break it off but tried to be less emotionally involved. I felt sad because she did not many friends but I guess this is why.

Can anyone else relate?

I can relate! I would listen and commiserate, but when I tried to talk about my problems, she'd say, "I don't want to hear it!"

I discovered that I was drawn to friends who were charismatic, accomplished,  self centered, and cruel. Once I realized this, things got easier.[/quote]
