That’s not a friend worth keeping around if she doesn’t acknowledge and work on stuff. To say it kindly, “hey, it feels like most of the focus in this friendship is on you and it’s making me feel badly or like an unequal part of our pair. I want to listen to what you have going on but I would appreciate if we could make more space for me to talk and you listen as well.” And if she’s not receptive, not changing, defensive, or aggressive. Then that’s your cue to leave

You can’t. And that’s a friend that’s okay to lose

If you know this about her already why continue wasting time on her. I would politely not reach out to her anymore. If she's that self absorbed. She won't even notice you're gone

Wait hold on I think there is a chapter in how to win friends and influence people on this. If that does not work then you may have to lose the friend
