"A conversational narcissist is an individual who consistently redirects conversations back to themselves, their experiences, and their interests, often dominating discussions while showing little genuine interest in others."

I know more than a few of these.

For a while, I leaned too heavily on trying to empathise in conversations - building a conversational bridge by describing something similar that happened to me. It could come off as narcissistic. So now I’m more circumspect, adding that I can relate because something similar happened to me. No details or elaboration unless they ask for it.

Never thought there was a whole cottage industry of chain restaurants, buffets, strip clubs and hotels with convention space near the airport.

how is that possible?

I'm going 112km away from me which necessitates a train ride of 35 minutes + a bus of 80 minutes. The round trip is $34.

Plus my usual round trip train to make Sunday family meal (40km).

And then one trip to around the airport area on Thursday.

Some Uber sprinkled in between.
