How can I make my friend understand without being rude, that I'm just fed up, to hear her going on and on about things that annoy me! she doesn't let me say two words in her endless calls, I just have to sit there and listen, there is no way of interrupting her yapping! I wouldn't mind if she would talk about herself, but who wants to hear about her brother and his wife? her sister and husband, nieces and nephews, and it's never a positive talking, it's gossip, if it's not that she has to brag about herself, like how she is so the opposite of all the negative things she says about these people. I've been going through so much myself lately, and she knows, only because, I left her a message on her Facebook page, because talking is impossible. What can I do? I don't mind if she talks about herself and any problem she has, a conversation to me is two or more people exchanging their opinions, but with her there's no way. I've thought about telling her but then am I going to hurt her feelings?will it end our friendship? I've known her for 22 years, we live in different states, so the only way to keep in touch is calling, but these calls are starting to get me upset, because I already know even before answering, what she's going to talk about and never giving me a chance to talk. What can I do?
