I think it’s good that you noticed this dynamic you experience with this particular person. Maybe without realizing it you tend to be shy and gravitate towards individuals that tend to fill conversations with themselves. Often this kind of individual is not all that in tune with others but prefers to fill conversations with their own life challenges. This type of individual typically doesn’t spend much time listening unless they see someone that has an issue they have been dealing with themselves and can take over by instructing.

I am sorry as it’s actually great that you finally made an important appointment to take care of yourself.
