I feel like my friend uses me as a therapist. I have no problem listening to her vent but I feel like that’s all she does. And if I say anything else she turns the conversation back to herself and her problems. How do I talk to her without being a dick

She definitely has social cue issues and yeah is probably neurodivergent, if u be direct about this she might appreciate it, if she gets upset she needs to think about it on her own time

We all have stuff going on in our lives. I’m not trying to invalidate her stuff but if there’s a lull in conversation and she’s actually not talking about herself for once, if I try to talk about myself she’ll say something about her situation or just say something like “that sucks” and then make it about herself

I think she’s neurodivergent though so I don’t think she’s doing it maliciously, she genuinely might not realize it. She hasn’t flat out said it but implied it through memes. She’s very adamant about not saying slurs that don’t apply to her but she says the r-slur.
