What if I have a friend who talks endlessly about herself and rarely takes a breath so others can “have the ball” in the conversation?

What if because others never “get the ball” they choose not to play with her and shy away from her friendship leaving her with fewer and fewer people to talk to and so she talks more and more to the few who will listen?

What if this sweet soul needs and deserves attention and acknowledgment but she never allows the space for others to give it to her?
