[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember to be sensitive about her circumstances: if you systematically “boast” (that’s how she interprets you) about things she didn’t/doesn’t have, you’re going to come across as really annoying.[/quote] I don't think I was boasting. I saw her in a local store, we started chatting, she asked me what we were up to. I very briefly told her about some difficult stuff going on at my work as a result of the pandemic (I am careful not to drone on about work, it's boring for others). DH and I were going on vacation the next week and I also mentioned that.[/quote] You keep talking about your responses to her inquiries, but not how you reciprocate to show interest in her or her life. Maybe the conversations end because you’re only talking about yourself?[/quote]
