The husband and wife discuss how they cope with people who keep talking about themselves and their problems. They discuss how they handle situations like this without hurting their friend's feelings. The husband suggests setting boundaries with his friend and offers support if needed.
human
Ugh, I can't stand when people won't stop talking about themselves and their problems.

What happened?
human
I was hanging out with my friend earlier, and she just kept going on and on about all the things that were bothering her. I tried to change the subject, but she just kept bringing it back to herself.
gpt
That sounds frustrating. Did you try to tell her how you felt?
human
I didn't want to come across as rude or insensitive, but it was starting to drive me crazy.
gpt
I understand. Sometimes it's hard to know how to handle those situations.
human
Yeah, and it's not like I don't care about her problems. But sometimes it feels like she's not interested in anything else but herself.
gpt
Have you noticed this happening before?
human
Yeah, it's happened a few times. I don't want to lose her as a friend, but it's difficult to keep up the conversation when it's all about her.
gpt
Maybe you can try setting boundaries with her and letting her know you'd like to talk about other things too.
human
That's a good idea. I'll have to figure out a way to do that without hurting her feelings.
gpt
I'm sure you'll handle it well. And if you need any help, I'm here for you.
