[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 327095, member: 2211"] [SIZE=4][COLOR=darkslateblue]Well, Janet, your 'friend' (and I use the term very loosely) sounds very much like my sister. She always manages to turn the conversation around to her, even when the situation is tragic. She has to the smartest and best and knows so much more than everyone else, the right way to do things, at the right time, in the right way. You, however, leave the visit feeling very small somehow, even though you are the better person for not having bored your friend to death and belittled her, correct?[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=darkslateblue][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=darkslateblue]My counselor told me that my sister's actions (like your friend's) stem from her own insecurities.
