I have a friend that only talks about herself and what she is interested in. She has told me that she had a horrible time in school and she doesn't have a job or want one so she won't talk about either of those two things. I loved school and love to talk about it and I'm looking for a job so I like to talk about that. She has told me she doesn't mind me talking about those things but she doesn't want to talk about her own personal situations. So when I talk about mine experiences it is not much of a conversation because she doesn't contribute to the conversation or ask questions. She has been planning on having a baby and I'm not interested in that but as her friend I ask her questions about it. So basically the only time we are having an actual conversation is when she is talking about herself and I'm asking questions. I've talked to her about this and all she tells me is that it is because of her anxiety and its just the way she is. She told me that she doesn't ask people anything about their life or if someone mentioned something going on in their life she doesn't follow up and ask how it went. She said that she doesn't ask about other peoples lives because she doesn't like to be asked about hers. I kind of feel like I'm being controlled as to what I can and can't talk about. Is this a bad friendship?
