That one friend. You know who it is. That one friend who can't wait to stir up some drama. That one friend who is always upset, depressed, angry, sick, disappointed, self absorbed and problematic. That one friend that when she calls, you draw up and consider not answering the phone. If you don't answer the phone though, she will call you 4 times a day and leave you voice mails about how lousy she is feeling until you do answer. That one friend that when she calls and you do answer the phone never asks how your day is going or about you or your family. She just called to tell you how horrible her life is and how her husband sucks and how her children got done wrong by someone because they are perfect angels. That one friend who has done it all, seen it all and knows it all better than anyone in the history of human history. You know the one I am talking about. Yeah you do. The one that can bring a party down simply by entering the room.
Now I am not talking about a good friend who genuinely has a problem that they really want to talk to you about or get your opinion on something. I'm talking about that one friend that everyone seems to have that just doesn't get it. Your life may be just as sucky as hers but she can make hers sound worse and even make you feel bad for saying one thing about your life as she rattles on and on about hers. Now I know that it is rough to ride around in that 2011 Mercedes-Benz SUV (That old piece of crap!) and live in your 5,000 square foot house (shameful) and your husband only sends you flowers once a week (The Bastard). I get it but ya know what? Get over it!!! Why do women not do as men do and just say, "I need my space from you"? Why do we go for years and torture ourselves being "friends" with that one friend? My message today is DON'T BE THAT FRIEND! If you have to ask yourself if you are that friend to someone, then you probably are!!
Notice to all of my friends: None of you are this person so don't be filling my inbox with questions about whether or not you are that friend. Got it?
