Me: I do this weird thing.

Friend: I do the same weird thing

Me: I'm glad it's not that weird!

Friend: But I don't do it to nearly the same extent as you. I have a partner and a job and my life is perf!

Sorry to hear that. It sounds like that person is "one-upping" you or letting you know that he/she is doing better than you. I don't know why people do that to their friends.

I remember one time a woman told me, "I am so thankful that I'm not in your shoes".

Oh, FFS what a terribly insensitive thing for her to say I've had similar remarks from folks of the same socially inept ilk. Always frustrating.

In this particular case, I think my friend was attempting to steer the conversation back to him and his relationship. And yeah, I guess he was one-upping me as well.
