Wow, she sounds impossible to like. Does she add any joy to your life? She must be sad and miserable inside to be so self centered like that. What a shallow existence.
Wow, I can't believe she brags like that about money! Writing it down can be great therapy, well, according to my old English professor.
WOW! Talk about A LLLLLLLLOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGGG rant!!! Your aunt sounds an awful lot like my mom, with whom I have extremely limited contact. I don't particularly care for my mom. I'm STILL working on issues dealing with her in my childhood. It sounds to me like I wouldn't like your aunt much either. She sounds to me like an EXTREMELY self-centered, negative and non-caring person. I think she, like my mom, could be toxic to me. So, what's the worst thing that could happen if you told her exactly what you think? She would get pissed off and stop speaking to you? And this is bad thing because...????
Sometimes the best thing to do is to let someone go. If it is so difficult to deal with her you probably would be better off ending your relationship with her. You are a very kind person and I can tell you hate to hurt people but if that person is HURTING you, you need to do what you can to get away from them. Just my opinion
Sometimes writing something out does help enormously. It's kind of hard to ignore her when she is so persistent. How about turning your phone off for certain hours -- when you're working -- and letting everyone know that's what you're doing. Then it's not just her. Maybe you could have a secret cell for your friends.
Ignore her...there's no way to accommodate ego centered people...they're incapable of a relationship beyond themselves...check caller ID and skip answering it. Let her go along with the negative impressions she imparts. Best of luck!
I would ignore her too... yuck! I hate the phone as well so I avoid it, and that's people I like!!! Good luck with her...
