Or when they have to always top everyone else and be the best, most interesting, most knowledgeable and are constantly needy. After a while....you just can't give anymore.

Children I can see but when they dont' get over it and carry it on to adulthood......that becomes a bit much.
Zaps all your energy.

great post...I know someone who is like that and an adult ~ exhausting. I am learning to just ignore and stay away.

Whining adults make me CRAZY

Yeah I thought you were talking about my dog, lol. She is the center of attention.

I don't like that trait in a person so I just ignore them. You can usually find me helping the host or hostess in the kitchen. I like to blend and keep busy.


So sorry to see you go. You have done a great job for us.
