when you're trying to tell someone something important and they just keep talking about themselves instead of actually listening to you
You finally corner your friend to tell her about your diagnosis, and she interrupts three words in: "Oh my God, speaking of health, my Peloton instructor canceled class and I haven't worked out in *eight days*." You nod. She continues for twenty minutes. When she finally pauses to breathe, you say, "So anyway, the doctor said—" and she's already checking her phone. "Wait, did I tell you what my therapist said about commitment issues?" Yes. Last Tuesday. And the Tuesday before. You realize you're not actually friends; you're just her unpaid emotional support system with a pulse and a Netflix password she borrowed once.
