Incredibly selfish, complains too much, no longer men hate her no longer big doesnt want her, she should be thankful she has friends that can tolerate her; if she was my friend, well, she wouldnt ever be, I would explode and rip her ridiculous hair outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877477161057131219.post-45240931845029706972012-07-16T16:53:18.930-04:002012-07-16T16:53:18.930-04:00Carrie gets on my nerves for that exact reason, an...Carrie gets on my nerves for that exact reason, and I get annoyed that most people glorify her as a character and don't see that. The scene I remember the most is when she has her book party debut and Samantha gets a chemical peel. Samantha forces herself to go to this party to support her friend, and Carrie winces and makes quips at her about how she looks once she got there. True, she looked rough, but the girl sucked it up and put a smile on to back you up. <br /><br />I try to be aware of this when I'm with groups, and always try to make sure to turn questions back around so that my friends can see that I care.Lacey in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096477451327308462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877477161057131219.post-79193070068532622162012-07-12T11:39:02.609-04:002012-07-12T11:39:02.609-04:00I love your theory about why new yorkers are "...I love your theory about why new yorkers are "selfish"! lol. . so true, i see that in san francisco. . so many young kids trying to get "noticed". Being one of the more quiet people in my circle of friends i have had my share of spot light stealing friends. . and then i realized )through hours and hours of observation. . . cause what else am i going to do if you haven't stopped talking in over an hour?) it is all about self-validation. Everyone just wants other people to hear their side and say :yeah, i hear you, you are so right. . you're opinion/experience MATTERS. As soon as i started to view people as just needing to be seen and heard it stopped bugging me. . it also gave me the power to just walk away when i was over it. . . because my experience also matters and there is only so much complaining i can listen to about why the cashier was rude to you lol. . thanks for yet another awesome post Erin!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689901634297424783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877477161057131219.post-29127465864088587462012-07-09T15:51:12.754-04:002012-07-09T15:51:12.754-04:00Love this! It's so true, sadly that's how ...Love this! It's so true, sadly that's how us New Yorkers usually function. I really do believe that it's the scarcity of resources that forces us to only talk about ourselves since there's only so much time in a New York minute we feel the need to fill the minute with our own anecdotes and neglect to listen to that of others. Awesome blog Erin, very entertaining!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11252704206815643266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877477161057131219.post-86598582775651534222012-07-09T14:00:58.392-04:002012-07-09T14:00:58.392-04:00I had a friend like that.

She is the definition of self-centered and my life if much better without her in it!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792570658525683725noreply@blogger.com
