Search Results: earliest memory

Alright, to start things off my best friend brags a lot without even realizing she is doing it.

This use to bother me back in high school, but now that we're two young women in our early 20's it's become something I don't know how to talk to her about. As of late, whenever we meet up I realize she starts to brag midway into a conversation depending on the topic. Yes she did this when we were younger, but now the off switch on her brag-o-meter seems to be broken.

For example, we'll be talking about the time we played softball for our high school team and it'll go from fun memories to. "You know, the coach thought I was the best player on the team. It's so true, I came to play on the team mid-season an I did so good that the coach didn't even give me a try out. She put me on the team right away because I was the best." She'll tell this story to anyone and I've only come close to telling her the truth once. (Because a mutual friend asked how I did on the team and before I could answer she said I was ok. -_-) The truth being no one tried out for the team. Everyone was put on immediately because we didn't have many players. Also, the best player on our team was our pitcher who received a full scholarship to college.

Also, when a guy shows interest in her even if it's a little bit she'll go on an on about it. I mean, girls talk about the guys they find attractive. Yet, she makes it sound as though she is the cream of the crop and no one else can compare. Though, it's especially bad if the guy says he doesn't go for her type often. It'll be game over, she'll immediately puff out her chest in pride/triumph and be like. See ladies? I made him want to tap this without even trying. (Yet, she is already married.)

A few of our friends have even asked me if she's always like that. I tell them it's not as bad as it looks or sounds, but in actuality it is. So how do I talk to her about it without completely offending her?
