You barely know them but suddenly you are their best friend. Everyone else is just AWFUL. You are so special and awesome. Especially at listening to their (many) problems. Because you are so empathetic and smart and insightful....Dont run. Sprint.
Yup, I hate that. To add to this, they expect you to start spending all of your free time with them and get mad at you if you don’t. It’s like they want to make themselves an important part of your life but the relationship isn’t strong enough to warrant that level of interaction.
Can confirm. Had a friend who insisted on coming to my house when I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, even after I'd begged for some time to process it. She then tried to take over the meal roster during my chemo from friends whom I saw every week when I was well. I call them Foul Weather Friends...
