They always seem to be on a downer and just enjoy telling you bad news?
Even if you have not so good news they always have to top it with even worse news
They are not really listening to what you have to say and can't wait to bring down the mood?
You can't wait to get off the phone and make excuses, "I have to go", "Gotta cook dinner", "on my way out" and you have a whole list of missed nos from them on your mobile??
I have a friend like this and it took me a long time to realise she was really using me as a sounding board and always made me feel exhausted or in a bad mood when we hung up.
I have finally realised I do not need someone with so much negativity to pass it on to me - so yes, I have my ansaphone on, or my mobile doesn't get answered when I see that number.
Just read an article about this and it rang bells with me. At least I have recognised that it is HER problem not mine and I do something about it.
