It is not always about you!

I feel like screaming this sometimes.  It drives me crazy when you are talking to someone and they always turn the situation to them.  I am not talking about being sympathetic or having a similar experience and adding to your story.  I am talking about just hijacking what you are trying to say. 

If I am telling a story and I say "look, I get it.  I know she is bat shit crazy".  That is not a stab at you.  Just because both of you happen to be "ex-wives", me saying another ex wife is loca does not mean I am implying you are as well.  Or if I am saying how I told someone how ridiculous I feel a situation might be.  Don't say "well tell them its ridiculous.  if I said that you would attack me." Um did I not just say I said that.  Stop flipping this around.  This situation has zero to do with you. 

I can only glaze over it so long before I snap and today I snapped.  It wasn't nice but it had to be said.  I actually said "it is NOT always about you!  You are not 'bat shit crazy'.  There is no animosity between you and your ex like there is with her.  Stop fishing for compliments or I will start telling people you are bat shit crazy!"

I don't mean to be mean but stop trying to get me to say "aw no honey you're wonderful" because I got about 3 hours of sleep and am not in the mood to deal with your shit.
