[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is she?
[/quote]

Late 40s.  The situation has grown unbearable in the last 3-4 years after previously being merely outgoing and highly engaging.[/quote]

A change like this (going from outgoing/fun to nonsensical blathering and anxiety) probably means something else is going on.[/quote]

+1 My friend was like this. Chatty and outgoing, loved to talk, a bit annoying to some people. But then there was a period of about a year when it was unbearable. It turns out she was taking some type of stimulant for a health problem (her explanation was sketchy), plus abusing a bunch of other prescription drugs, and drinking heavily. It spiraled downward from there. [/quote]

I have a friend like this. I cannot stand being around her. She talks non-stop and constantly talks about herself. If you say, "hey, I had a good day", she'll interrupt and tell you what a FABULOUS day she had and go on forever about why it was better. No matter what you say, she brings it back to her and doesn't stop. I think it's some form of narcissism. It's so unbearable. I've had to cut the relationship bc it's so mentally taxing. [/quote]
