If the latter is greater, it's time to consider getting out.

I agree with what others have observed: The only behavior I can change is my own.

Hi, it sure is! You're right about what you said! The negatives are outweighing the positives at this point! Now she's starting to only talk about herself in texts and she didn't even care that I was sick once, ugh! I think I'll need to end this one sided friendship!

True. She isn't a good match for me anymore. A true friend treats their friends with respect. She doesn't respect my boundaries apparently. She stopped calling me as I started to ignore her. She has finally realized that she can't get her attention fix from me as often as she used to now.

A person I knew told me the same story (about her being angry at someone else) for years. <--years. And the incident was even further back). When my last nerve snapped I finally said, "You've told me that before--several times before. Why Why do you keep bringing that up?" She said, "Because she made me mad." So after that she didn't tell me that story again. But assuming I ever see her after we are all let out of our homes -- I am guessing she will eventually cycle back around to that same story. <--that is what I mean by some sort of persistence mechanism.

I'm guessing because your reaction was different from the others--she is chewing away at it.

Hi, sorry to hear about your friend. How annoying! My friend sounds like your friend! She'll behave for awhile, then go back to repeating herself and interrupting me all the time. Ugh!

It doesn't sound like you want to be friends with this person...
Be kind to her, let her go so she can be with friends who want to hear her.

I'm not sure if she was ever really my friend. It just seemed like she used me to get attention. I'm done with her. I blocked her today since she wouldn't stop talking about the same thing again and again. She disrespected my boundaries and when I told her to stop, she told me I was lashing out at her and that she couldn't believe that my husband puts up with me and that I have anger issues, ugh!

She kept on talking about pretending to be lesbians with her friends because only people who are related or living together can go out to eat now, and I said that I wasn't interested and that it's not necessary as no one will care, but she kept on going on and on about things.

I don't have issues with gay, bi, trans, or whatever people, but omg, please stop when I don't want to hear it anymore! My other friend said the same thing, but she ignored her in the group text.

We both thought it was inappropriate and that she's in the closet and that this is some weird test.
