How do you deal with someone that only wants to talk about themselves?


Recommended Posts

I work with a person very similar..

 

This person does have a few different ailments which they make a point of telling us about every day..

 

They're a nightmare if anyone else at work is ill..

If one of us says "Oh so and so is off sick today because of blah blah blah", the first words out of their mouth aren't "Oh I hope they're feeling well soon", the first words they mutter are "well what about me? I still come to work with this wrong with me, that wrong with me", etc etc.. They cannot bear to think of anyone but themselves getting any kind of sympathy for being ill.. It's like they are the only one who is allowed to be ill!

 

I tend to turn away and try and ignore it when they go off on one, but they never seem to take the hint..:rant:
