How do you deal with a grown woman (this is a friend of mine) that has to have every comment you say to her spelled out (explained)? And do you know why she does this. Here are two examples: (1) Her boyfriend did her taxes and asked her to help him proof it and when he asked her to read something she asked him; why would I read that that is information you know I know; (2) she was driving her uncle to the store and her uncle knows she always goes that way to this store but when her uncle questioned if she was going the right way and when her uncle admitted she was right and he was wrong she said why would you question me when you know I always go this way.
She needs to do the right thing for herself and seek professional help. I'm worried her mind may just snap one day, worrying herself over every little detail. She deserves a life far better than that.
I don't know how, but I always can tell who you are, no matter what you ask, how you word your questions, or who you are asking about. I guess that is a good thing, because I worry about your.. friends, and I want to help. I TRY to help, and I hope I do some kind of good for you.

She should just relax or no one is going to be able to be him/herself around her. Tell her so. If she doesn't want to change, decide whether you want to be around someone who's so difficult to be with.
