AITA on Sidechat | So I am currently undergoing tests to determine if I have cancer. Me and a friend were having dinner and I shared that with her, but she was talking about her breakup and said I shouldn’t bring it up while she was ranting. Fair but how do I in the future?

She’s just being an asshole - sorry you’re going through that

Get a new friend 😟😟

I came here because people are brutally honest in this group, and I need advice. I know it was a bad time, but she is ranting about her life every time we talk. So do I wait until it’s definitive diagnosis? Do I ask to have a conversation about it specifically (plan a dinner with the assumption that’s all we’d talk about)? How long should I wait to bring it up again? I’m not sure the best approach, it’s something I really need to discuss with someone so I need advice

as someone also having genetic testing for cancer and is currently going through a break up, health comes first, and you deserve people who support you instead of thinking about themselves

She definitely doesn’t care about you and sees you more as an outlet or a tool vs an actual friend

No but your “friend” is

Talk to an empathetic person about it, not her

I normally would go to someone else, but I’m home for the summer and she’s the only person I really kept in touch with from high school, my closest friends aren’t here and it’s new I don’t know how to drop from halfway across the country. I know that’s a me problem as well and I’m just being a bit difficult here, I just wanna share the news as respectfully as possible, especially since it’s not a definitive diagnosis yet
