I have the same thing. My best, I thought, friend, just calls me to tell me about how her foot still hurts from when she broke it 2 years ago, and I just have no idea of the pain. Another good friend called to tell me that her son that just married was all she was living for and she just wants to die. WHOA!! Am I invisible, I think? Do they know who they are saying this to? I want to live!! I don't know about people. I was always taught to be more respectful. Thought it was just me.
How do you handle them?
