[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When a friend is stressed, the conversation may not be balanced. She is still the person she was. I think perhaps you feel less supportive because from afar, her "problems" seem like privilege, but in her life, it feels stressful. Focus on that more than the amounts each thing costs (like she is house or school shopping, not why) And if you need to talk, about your own things, speak up. [/quote] I do speak up. When I do, she steers the conversation back to her stuff. I think it's because of her anxiety about what is going on with her life, but she is simply not interested in what is going on in my life right now. It's hard.[/quote] What does she respond about your SN kids or ill elderly family member? Anything? Is there a back and forth conversation on it- stories shared, ideas, suggestions, intros to other people? Do you have those convos with other people or lead topics? [/quote]
