I know this vid is a couple of years old,but it really hit the mark today as your vids often turn up in my recommended viewing,and I enjoy your anecdotes.Long story to not,the final nail in my friendship with a said narcissist.The kind of person who thinks other people are usuable consumables until they have nothing left to offer.We had a falling out,and awhile ago I tried to extend an olive branch,and as of yesterday had that branch handed back to me snapped.So that's that.Dust from my shoes.
For 1: When you start talking to your old friends, they wanna let you know how everything is going and wants to pick things back up with you. They might even have a crush on you.
You seem like a nice guy. Bet you know a million stories. But it's a little ironic you tell a story about someone talking at you while talking at a camera. Maybe you both like the sound of your own voices?
I never know what to say when someone losses someone so dear. Nothing can make that feeling better. God bless you Zipster! Dammint - that really sucks!
Man. It must really suck 2BU. Imagine. Having your life RUINED because you don't like someone on an internet site. Damn! Someone get this dude a razor blade! QUICK!
My condolences... sorry to hear about your partner's passing *hugs*
I have an uncle exactly like this guy... I don't even talk to him anymore because he is such an ego-maniac to the point of being grossly insulting. Some people are so disgustingly self-absorbed. Sad, but true.
Actualy, I preffer it when people dominate the conversation. It takes the pressure off of me to come up with something to say and evades awkward silences. It's good to get a chance to respond though I'll admit.
oh, having someone else talking non-stop during a conversation drives me nuts!!! - to them whatever you're saying is completely unimportant, it's all about them - hate that!!
I have a several friends like that I hate it...One talks so damn fast it`s like she has 60 seconds to tell you what has happened in the last 20 years...I just want to say STOP AND TAKE A DAMN BREATH WILL YOU!!!
Ha ha ha, whats funny, is now he's probably going to be looking for you on youtube and here you are telling on him! You are too much fun to watch! i love it. Sorry about your partner~ take care!
I am guilty of doing this from time to time and when I catch myself I try to turn it around and listen. I do, however, do it from time to time to get people off the phone :) I did that just this afternoon :)
I've had a few experiences like that, a girl I don't talk to anymore b/c of it, and we knew each other for 10+ years. I called her once after being in the hospital, (thought I had a heart attack) and she said oh really that's to bad, and then talked about her divorce and custody of her kids and that was it, and she did stuff like that all the time to me, if something was going serious in my life, it would always be about her. It IS very frustrating! love ya xoxo Liana
OMG! This is so ironic! One of my best friends talks about herself ALL the time, and as soon as the conversation steers to me, she'll start doing things in the background (talking to someone, etc.). I think these people should not be in our lives. They don't seem to add much, and life is too short to deal with this sort of stuff.
Sometimes I find I am doing others a great favor by NOT answering the phone. I call it "Charity Work". not a snob, just don't want to be "un-Nice" ya know? xoxoxoxoox
My ex was so like that Zip, I could set him down go to the bathroom and he never noticed me gone, this happend on many occasions, and people who talk like that never really have a damn thing to say. I guess its just life and the time we never will get back...HA. Love ya!
not on the phone but my other half is like that.I come home from work and she ask "how was your day?" and before I can get one word out she's going on and on about her day!
I hate being interrupted!!!! I will kindly tell the person "Dang you interrupted me!" And then of course laugh to ease the pain, that usually helps...
I hate that too. You poor thing. He was talking your ear off. When I come across people like that, it makes me think they're self-centered or something. Gee-Whiz!!!
YES! I do hate it, it drives me bonkers!! OR I hate it when people call and have nothing to say and even if you try to strike up a conversation.. they're like giving 1 word responses and there is a huge bunch of silence as if they're busy watching TV, but THEY called you. GRR, phone etiquette.
Maybe he just has no one to talk to. My sister in law is like that. When I told her I had been diagnosed with colon cancer she asked what the symptoms are and said, "Oh my God, I think I have that too." So much love to you Zipster. I am still so sorry for your loss.
I don't know your friend's situation, but when a person is alone allot, with no one to talk to on a day to day basis, they have a tendency to run on, and on. I know as it is my situation right now. Perhaps, someone will tip him off, as so he can work on that fault, and perhaps it is only temporary. This vid was a wake up call for me, thanks!
I usually come up with a creative excuse to get off the phone if this happens. Something along the lines of "I'll call you back, grandma just caught on fire"
Oh gosh I have friends who do that. I just hate it. I end up hanging up blaming it on my bad reception on my cell phone. But I do it so many times I think they are catching on.
sorry about that terry I was in a rush. Yah well it seems that your friend is in his own world. every thing revolves a round him. But now you remember why the friendship did not work out in the first place. I know people like that. Very self centered. He will cost you too much. Be careful. catch you later.
I always hate that, I'll call one of my friends and want to tell them about what happened and somehow we end up on some other subject. Then I never get to tell them what happened. Which is why I vlog.lol.
Yes! This drives me crazy!! I have a friend who does this to me all the time. I've discovered the closed captioning feature on my tv so I can mute the volume and still watch tv while she yammers away.
YESSS omg...my grandpa died over the weekend, & I called up one of my very best friends. I said "ya, I'm sorry I couldn't hang out tonight, my grandpa just died." so what does she say "Okay well what about tomorrow or tuesday?" me- "well tuesday will probably be the funeral" her- "kayy well just let me know! Omg I had to play this bitchhh in tennis today...[BLAH BLAH BLAH]" she went on & on with not even the slightest sound of sympathy or acknowledgement.
omg and *I* thought I lacked tact. lol I agree with Zipster...I hate people like that. So self-absorbed.I'm a sucker for them tho cuz I'm a really good listener,but I have become meaner through the years towards those people. We all have a finite amount of time in this world and I make an effort to be considerate of the time I steal from ppl and expect others to do the same. Otherwise,I cut those people out of my life. I mean COME ON "i stuck a needle in my foot"?lol i would haf just hung up.
You are right, we all have one. Actually, I think each of us is that way during some periods of our lives, but most of us get over it and go back to normal. But "my partner died" "Oh, I got a pin stuck in my foot" is the worst!!!!! The guy with liver cancer may have been having a bad day and reached out to someone from his past that made him feel good, but he was afraid to let you talk because he's so wrapped in his own problems and was afraid you'd tell him yours - he has nothing to give now.
I remember a "friend" of mine went to my Dad's wake. he didn't even go to the casket. All he did was cry on my mother's shoulder about his separation from his wife. He wife, (who I was closer to) didn't even attend. Narcissists, indeed!
Yeah, I have a college friend that does the same thing everytime that she calls, it is just nothing but stuff about her,her,her... but I still love her, I just hate it when I have to shout to get the phone caller's attention in the conversation!
Yeh, that kind of rubs me the wrong way, too. But I don't know, I'm a good listener; plus I can usually pick up when a person *needs* to talk and when they don't want to talk (or listen in some cases).
i hate it when people that you are face to face with do that and when your trying to talk to someone they can hear you clearly but ignore you like a hard head and start talking with someone else.
Aug, what's worse is when they catch you in a restaurant or something...while you're with someone else...and they talk about themselves...oh god I hate these people...
I know what you mean. I have a friend that calls me and talks 2 hours and I only talk for a minute or 2. I just say oh really every so often and thats all I get to say.
I know exactly what you mean, when I am on the phone with someone like that, I just watch TV and throw in a couple of u-huhs and oks every know and then.
Yep, hate to talk to someone who is all about THEM. Of course I am interested in the goings on, but I got some goings on too.. But anyhoo.. some people didn't get the listening gene.
I was called to come in for a job interview (CALLED mind you- I didn't bug THEM for it). I am OVER-qualified for this job, but being a teacher without a job, I went in.
The principal talked at me for about an hour. Other than asking me-"so tell me about your background?" and "do you have any questions for me (him)?"- HE did ALL the talking, and then said he'll be deciding on the position next week and thanks for coming in.
I hate the phone. When people call me up it's always to ask stuff from me and never just to ask how I'm doing. As if I don't get that at work all the time. One of the benefits with these kind of people, Zipster, is that you can put the phone aside and continue what you were doing, and they'll never know. Is there such thing as altruism?
The first part, about the guy getting the pin stuck in his foot, takes my breath away. I would have gotten in my car, driven all the way to New York, gone and seen that queen and bitchslapped his ass into the next lifetime. :-o

Yeah, I have a college friend that does the same thing everytime that she calls, it is just nothing but stuff about her,her,her... but I still love her, I just hate it when I have to shout to get the phone caller's attention in the conversation!

Yeh, that kind of rubs me the wrong way, too. But I don't know, I'm a good listener; plus I can usually pick up when a person *needs* to talk and when they don't want to talk (or listen in some cases).
Have a good one, Zip!

i hate it when people that you are face to face with do that and when your trying to talk to someone they can hear you clearly but ignore you like a hard head and start talking with someone else.

Aug, what's worse is when they catch you in a restaurant or something...while you're with someone else...and they talk about themselves...oh god I hate these people...

I know what you mean. I have a friend that calls me and talks 2 hours and I only talk for a minute or 2. I just say oh really every so often and thats all I get to say.

Yep, hate to talk to someone who is all about THEM. Of course I am interested in the goings on, but I got some goings on too.. But anyhoo.. some people didn't get the listening gene.

the listening gene...thats a good one. Some of my kids at school need the shut-up gene.

Sheeesh, Zip.
I was called to come in for a job interview (CALLED mind you- I didn't bug THEM for it). I am OVER-qualified for this job, but being a teacher without a job, I went in.
The principal talked at me for about an hour. Other than asking me-"so tell me about your background?" and "do you have any questions for me (him)?"- HE did ALL the talking, and then said he'll be deciding on the position next week and thanks for coming in.
What was THAT? Was he LONELY and needed to talk??

I know what you mean and I'm afraid that I'm doing that and then shut up.
The pin in the foot guy, I think I know who you mean. Doing that is so self centered. Oh well we can't all be as good as you. he he

I hate the phone. When people call me up it's always to ask stuff from me and never just to ask how I'm doing. As if I don't get that at work all the time. One of the benefits with these kind of people, Zipster, is that you can put the phone aside and continue what you were doing, and they'll never know. Is there such thing as altruism?

The first part, about the guy getting the pin stuck in his foot, takes my breath away. I would have gotten in my car, driven all the way to New York, gone and seen that queen and bitchslapped his ass into the next lifetime. :-o
