I mentioned a while ago the distinct lack of asking "how are you?" I hear these days, yesterday I had an unsurprising, but illuminating chat. Or at least exchange of words, I don't know if it was really a conversation.
I was having a coffee with a pal and she told me that she has to remind herself to ask me how I am and what I've been doing so she doesn't do all the talking. I already knew she wasn't interested, but good to have it confirmed.
Ugh, not a friend! But you’ve had it confirmed and can move forward as you wish. After years of being the default problem solver and sympathetic ear I learned just who my friends were when my husband was terminally ill.
