I have started to avoid answering the phone whenever my rude friend calls me now. She told me awhile back that the reason why she interrupted me all the time was because she was trying to give me a "polite" hint that I was being to long winded.

So I gave shorter answers. I know that she's the problem as that's rude. Plus, 'she has still cut me off after I talked for a few second! She talks to much, and she repeats herself on top of that! And she thinks that I'm being rude and intolerant by not listening to her repeat herself too!

She told me that none of her other friends tell her that she's repeating herself, they just listen to her repeat herself and that I should do the same! She has a good memory, but she claims that she can't recall what she told other people which I know is a lie as she only talks about a former friend of ours with me only most of the time.

Her other friends don't like to hear her gossip and talk about that former friend of ours. They were never really her friend either. She is obsessed with our former friend who treated us both badly.

I snapped at her since she would not listen to me! She even started crying in public and told me that I was putting 'restrictions' on her when I tried to calmly explain to her that I need to set firm boundaries that can't be crossed and that cutting me off and talking over me all the time made me feel that I'm being disrespected.

She then told me that she supposedly can't help it since she has undiagnosed ADD and OCD. I think that's b.s and that she w as trying to manipulate me. I've known her for three years and she only told me that last year! Does that sound like b.s to anyone else? She's 43 btw! I'm a little older.

She then tried setting her own boundaries by saying that she doesn't want to hear about my personal issues anymore as it's to much for her to deal with and that I'm to "negative' and 'whiny'. it was like she was trying to punish me by setting boundaries with her.

I feel like she wants to make everything about her. She even interrupted me at her house when I was talking to another one of my friends there. She told me that she did that on purpose since she didn't want to hear me talk about a health issue I was having at the time.

She told me later that it's her house, and that she doesn't want to hear about anything "negative' in her house and that she has the right to expect me to shut up when I'm not being "upbeat".

She said she already heard it, but the other lady didn't. My other friend said nothing but she did admit that this friend of ours is rude, talks to much, needy, interrupts me to much,, is weird, etc...

She's in her game group, but not really friends with her. What makes this worse is that I haven't noticed her doing this to anyone else! Why would she do this to me only after I made things clear? I say things like , please let me finish, don't talk over me, or I heard that before, or I remember that, or I don't want to hear that story again.

I'm not mean, she is just extremely irritating! She is nice, but clueless and seems to only care about talking about things that interest her. She is so clueless that she kept on calling me for a long time but she finally stopped calling me as much now.

What can I do to get her to stop doing this to me? And why does she do it to me only?
