In fact, my whole neighborhood and ward is like that, only more so.<br /><br />Kidding. But I sadly know exactly what you're talking about here. Don't you hate it when people feel compelled to do things that amount to social suicide, and they're probably going to keep doing it for their whole lives and not even realize their own role in their ever-intensifying loneliness?<br /><br />I have an acquaintance who has a heart of gold, really, and also seems kind of lonely and needs friends, and whose style of interaction is to interrupt with solutions before you've even finished describing a problem that you weren't even seeking a solution to (just empathy,) or she's just thoughtless and even rude (and I was about to give a dramatic verbatim example, but I remembered and agree with the idea that it's not a good idea to put things like that in print.) In this case I really do know (because of things I've heard her say) that she really doesn't mean to offend anyone or drive anyone away -- but it's STILL hard to interact with her. Maybe because I don't feel like I'm actually interacting, but just being talked at.
