Pet Peeve
It really annoys me when you re-connect with a person and ask, “So, how have things been?” And they launch into this giant pity party. I haven’t talked to you in years, and we weren’t even close to begin with, why are you talking to me about how shitty you think your life is? Maybe I’m a horrible, insensitive person, but I DON’T CARE. This is supposed to be small talk. It sucks that your friend crashed your car and your girlfriend cheated on you, but can’t you talk about it with someone else, like your best friend? I don’t even know you anymore.
This also applies to people I’ve recently met. I can divulge some pretty personal information pretty fast, but I’m not going to try to talk you into feeling sorry for me. Ever
