For example I stopped talking to someone about ten years ago.well a few weeks ago she contacts me out of nowhere on Facebook.she claims she has changed since last time we where friends.so I give her another chance.well I call her on the phone & she talks the entire time & then when I try to contribute to the conversation she tells me to hush up I am talking.Well she did this to me & others along time ago & still does it.She called me 4 times recently & every time she would not let me talk & tells me to hush up after I try to get a word in edge wise.yesterday I blocked her because she obviously has not changed one bit

People never change, even when they claim they have. She sounds like she hasn't changed since you knew her ten years ago based on how you describe the way she acted during her phone conversation with you. Yikes. Run like the wind. Disengage. Good that you blocked her. I have had several Facebook friend requests from people I knew years ago but I just delete their requests without responding. While our past does not define who we are in the present, the people from our past should stay in the past if they aren't with us in the present. Never trust someone from your past who wants to reconnect. They usually only want to reconnect because they want to take something away from you (physically speaking like sex, money, your time; or emotionally; your emotional compassion, your empathy, your generosity).

She just wants attention

[Qubeley005]

People don't typically change. Change only happens if a person wants it to happen. Sounds to me that you did the right thing by blocking her. There's no reason to continue to validate her need for attention if she isn't going to reciprocate and allow you to contribute.

That relationship was always about her

People do change, in fact we are almost never the same person we were 10 yrs prior, but... with that being said many of the most notable behaviors, whether good or bad are usually the ones that are the most ingrained.
