a friend
Someone who sits next to me in one of my classes ONLY talks about herself. ALWAYS! She'll ask how I am and stuff, and even if I say "Not so good.." she'll say "Oh my gosh! I was crying all last night because Andrew (bf) said he can't trust me and idk what to do." It annoys me so much. And it's all dramatic stuff. One day she's bragging about her huge basket of valentine candy and the next she has red eyes from crying all night.
She came in class one day and said "Omg someone told me to leave and I asked why and they said because I always bring drama to the group and I don't!" How do I deal with this?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
The way I see it there are a couple of options.
1)Ignore her completely. She needs to understand there are more people in the world than her and that if she doesn't start realising that, she will end up with no friends at all.
2) Take her to one side and explain this problem. Maybe she doesn't realise that she's doing it. Explain that she has this tendency to talk about herself far too much and that even when you have problems you'd like to discuss, you don't get a chance to, so you'd appreciate her being more thoughtful in the future.
3)Fight fire with fire. Next time she starts talking about herself, bring the conversation back to you and start talking again. Eventually, she may start talking about herself less, in the face of information from others to talk about.
4)If she interrupts you saying something about yourelf again to talk about herself, make a comment along the lines of "Oh, I'm sorry. Was I finished??" or "Oh we're back to talking about you again are we?" This may lead back to number 2 but at the end of the day, this girl needs to put an end to her self-centred behaviour because it will only make life difficult for herself in the future.

There will always be a sour apple in the bunch. Be straight forward. Don't lie, just tell her, shes annoying and is truly a flat-out drama queen. Theres really no sweet way of telling a person they're completely annoying, so go with whatever flows out.

Wow. She is one Brat. The only thing I can think of to tell you is that you need to ignore her. When she asks "how are you?!" or whatever, I would simply say good. & then I would Put no attention on here what-so-ever. If she sees that you could really care less about her problems when you've got your own, I think she would get the picture and stop talking to you about it.
I hope I helped!
