So my grandma likes to randomly pop into my room with violent news. Like barges into my room and says, "a man killed his daddy today because ..." And will talk for ten mintues.
Plus she leaves these stupid awkward pauses in the middle of the stories. Like I'm supposed to over react and get angry about the news about nameless strangers
And yes the news is sad and horrible, but I will not force a fake reaction to satisfy her need to be the center of attention because that's what this is
She wants everyone to pay attention to her and if anyone else holds your attention more than her, she will literally turn the conversation around to her.
I also feel like she is judging me for not reacting and being all modified and terry about this stuff, but I have too many people and things in my life to let my emotions be dominated with a murder.
And it's not as through she is really all that torn up about the news either. For her, it is a way to get more attention. That's worse than my apparent lack of sympathy because that is more insidious
Gah
