Blue Crack Addict
In October, my best friend was dumped by her first boyfriend of one year.
Ever since then, that is ALL she has been able to talk about, to pretty much anyone, and she talks about it to me a lot since I am her best friend.
She just goes on and on and on...how it kills her to be without him, then how she hates him, then how she loves him, how she would die for him, how she wants to kill him, . Such an emotional roller coaster, and there's only so much I can bear myself. Naturally I give her my opinions and advice, even if its what she doesn't want to hear, but I'm not going to lie to her because that would be a crappy friendship between us.
But seriously, it's ALL she talks about. When I'm at her house with her parents it's all she talked about, when she's at my house even around my parents it's all she talks about. Even over thanksgiving break when she was spending time with me while I had very dear family from out of town with me, around them that's all she talked about.
I'm beyond sick and tired of it all, and frankly I don't know how to tell her that gently without driving her over the edge. I love her to death but she is quite the drama queen, and on medications for depression, and me telling her that i'm sick of hearing all her relationship problems would do who knows what to her.
I guess I should just suck it up. Whenever I try to change the subject she always brings it right back up, and it is becoming more and more emotionally draining on me. I want her to be happy whatever happens, but I have to look out for myself as well. This whole ordeal has made her extremely self centered, it's all about her and her woes. Whenever I have exciting news about myself its like "great. ooooooh i miss him so much" gag me.
Ah well considering i don't usually like reading or writing long posts i'll stop there. Just venting...any and all comments are welcome.
