Insight?
I need some help finding a way to tactfully tell someone that I can't spend all of my time hearing about every detail of her life. It isn't so much that I don't want to have anything to do with her -- just that a different topic of discussion would be nice.
I know she's going through a lot and could really use a friend. I really want to be there for her, but I'm going through some serious personal issues of my own, too. (She knows about this, and we have completely different views about how I should go about dealing with my problems.)
So, any ideas how to tell someone that I don't think I can deal with her problems all the time without being rude?
