My friend told me I always talk about myself and it stung but she was right
Last month my friend Jen pulled me aside after we grabbed coffee and said I have a habit of turning every conversation back to my own stories. I got defensive at first lol but then I started paying attention in group chats and hangouts. She was totally right. Like if someone mentioned a bad day at work I'd jump in with my own work drama instead of just listening. So I've been making a real effort to ask follow up questions and actually stay quiet while people talk. It's been three weeks now and I already notice people opening up more around me. Even my husband said I seem more chill lately. Has anyone else gotten feedback that made you realize you were the annoying friend all along? How did you fix it?

Three weeks of faking interest doesn't sound very genuine to me.

It's not that serious, @caseyl18.
