Is it normal to hate listening to peoples problems?

everytime a friend or someone talks about something wrong in their life ( like boyfriend problems, family problems, work problems etc) I just get really annoyed and just want them to shut up and suck it up but instead I sit there and pretend to care. is it normal to feel like that?

    CommonSense I agree with you, caring is disgusting, only a baby cares. Common sense dictates that a man is only himself and thus must only worry about his own pleasure. No one cares about what you want, so do what you want yourself.**** for being the most rational and positive person in all of the universes.

    I hate when other people tell me about their problems! I have my own problems you know and I dont need yours on my mind! But I always listen to my friend and I try my best to help fix the problem.

    Haha if you hate listening to others problems, you should hear yourself. Lol you're complaining about a problem too. Haha think about it.

    It's normal. We're all selfish deep down. But the day you'll have problems (and be sure that some day it'll happen) don't be surprised when people won't give damn about yours. You will annoy them.

    Cheesey_Jelly, correct! Except are you just being nice? I can't believe you if you lie that hearing yourself is good. Tell the truth if you say that.

    SassyFrassyLassy, this baby never hears about herself, people hate people who care about other people and never themselves, not caring about yourself is foolish, blind, and most of you believe the nonsense that the awful truth you say about yourself ought not to be heard. Are we living in a church? Christianity is part of the problem.

    Tori, relax, talk about things you like for a change, you care too much about other people. Is me and CommonSense the only ones who say 'stop caring'?

  • Agreed. Unless I'm uber close with the person I don't care about other peoples problems.

    Well, I'm the sounding board for everyone. I just wish they would listen to my stuff once in awhile. They cut me off with more of their drama. So, I don't talk to anyone any more about what I need. It's terrible. I think that's what lured me to this site.
