Yah i don't think that's it.
I guess it's just difficult to explain how she is.

I have a friend from high school like this. In fact, it's always been sort of a tradition that we call each other on our birthdays and I was DREADING calling this year because the last few phone conversations have irritated me so much. (Thankfully, this year, I got her machine.) Whenever we talk, I have to hear about how busy she is with Junior League, Girl Scouts, the kids' activities, etc. She and her husband (who is a dentist and she never lets you forget that he makes good money) recently bought a huge new house and travels to a million places every year. We also have very one-sided conversations, and I hear many of the same things you're saying about all of her friends in her community. She's had this competitive streak with me forever, and over the last couple of years, I've finally learned to just distance myself. Even though I'm happy with my life, I find myself so annoyed after talking to her, so I've really pulled back. She lives in another town hundreds of miles away, so I rarely see her anyway. But I do know how you feel. If she were to come in for a visit, I don't know that I'd want her coming over either. I think I've learned that people who feel the need to talk about themselves and their "perfect" lives, have a lot of insecurities. I'd be curious to see what you do and how it works out since I'm sure I'll be in your shoes with this particular person one day.

I think she needs to make herself feel better. I have friends that are mega rich, can you say Bristol of Bristol and Mayer, they are the nicest people. Never once do they make comments about what they have and I don't. And yes I even brag to them about my finds at Goodwill.
