Good point...
Hi Snow,
People change. What used to be tolerable about this "friend" may have only gotten worse. It sounds like even if you were to tell her off she wouldn't be able to hear you, since she is the one who is so "self-centered." Just let go. I know that it's hard (even if she drives you nuts) to say goodbye. But it sounds like a realtionship with this person is not worth the stress. If she calls you, let it go to voicemail or if you happen to answer, you can just say flatly that you're busy and you have to go. Putting up boundaries is a good form of self-care. It is ok to feel sad and grieve the loss of what you both had when you were young. Then let her go... Enjoy time with your other friends, some quiet time by yourself, or maybe even look for some new people to meet - who listen to you and who value who you are. You deserve kindness and comradery. (Not this shallowness and endless drama).
