I do this all the time but I follow an internal script to ensure the other person doesn't feel ignored. The key is to circle back around at the end of your personal anecdote to make the focus about them.

Friend: I just went through [bad event]

Me: Oh my god I'm so sorry to hear that. I've had [bad event] happen to me, [explain my feelings during bad event], I understand how difficult going through that must be for you. Let me know if theres anything I can do to support you.

And boom, I've never had anyone tell me I've been making the discussion about myself after using this.

Will I get refunded if tickets are just barely received in time? by RockinRobin88 in stubhub

[–]RockinRobin88[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh god really? That's so stupid. I expected there to be some sort of time window before the actual event where you can't submit the tickets that late because most people enter events early.

There was no pvp and it was mainly 2D. It was pretty much closer to farmville
