[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a family member like this.  I'm sympathetic to her level of anxiety because it must be a very difficult way to live.  However, I do get irritated by how she turns everything into being about her.  It wasn't her feeling awful for people who lost family members in Texas, it was her being irrationally anxious and stressed about her own kid at a camp where the chance of a flash flood was slim to none. 
 It's not feeling horrible for those being deported and the lives being disrupted, it's "omg should I cancel our trip?!   What if we can't get back into the country?!   What if they detain us?!" Even though they are the most basic white American people and there is no chance anything would happen.  
It's not being upset over the fact that someone plowed their car into a crowd, it's obsessive texts over whether or not she should let her kids go to a town fair.  Because who knows if someone drive into the crowd.

The turning everything into being about her is what pushes my patience with her.  [/quote]

This is a good explanation of the difference. [/quote]
