[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a good friend that used to be fun to hang out with, but now she doesn't have anything interesting to talk about. It's just about her kids and her worries. I will still see her if she initiates, but it's harder to be motivated to reach out, because it's just not that compelling.

This may not be what's happening to you at all, but just wanted to share a different perspective. [/quote]

A couple years back I had a bit of a blow-up with my sister because pretty much all communication was initiated by me, and I'm the introvert!  And she essentially responded similarly to how you feel about your friend- that our conversations are boring and I have nothing interesting to say.  I've always been a bit socially awkward but man if that wasn't a kick in the gut, that I wasn't even worthwhile to my own sister and she would just talk to me out of obligation.  Needless to say I stopped initiating, we mostly text and then see eachother a couple times a year when I visit (she and my parents live in the same town.  But it definitely made me wonder whether everyone else found me boring too.[/quote]
