How do I deal with an annoying flatmate who talks about nothing except for herself?!!?

I’m a 19 year ancient female student who lives in a group of 4 girls. I get on fantastic with two of them, but the other- Oh holy macaroni, it’s come to a point everywhere I can’t listen to her anymore!

I come from a comfortable background and i’m very modest about it, she though is a millionaire’s daughter and will not talk about anything other than her wealth. She thinks her fathers money automatically gives her some superiority. Because I didn’t go to a rip-off confidential school, hooked up with the prince of Monaco, or holidayed in Dubai with relatives of the royal family- I’m peasant. Each single conversation is about daddy, holiday’s, boarding school, Designer clothes, god i’m frigin incredible, daddy and so on…..

She is also two being grown-up than me. She thinks that because she has these magic two extra being of life for that- She’s always right I’m always incorrect, she’s better than me, She can cook better than me, she’s cleverer than me (in fact incorrect, I wooped her ass in exams )

I am doubtless an simple target though. I am polite, quite person and a very excellent listener. I force for myself to say yes and nod to everything she says just of politeness, I sometimes question questions to pretend I’m intrigued “Wow, do you really have a pyramid decanter made of diamonds?” God knows why, it’s better than silence.
Sometimes, if I happen to say something about for myself, she will look away and pretend not to have the slightest bit of interest or she will butt in and say something about her self. I cannot express how frustrating this is.

Although, she can be a truly fascinating an inspirational person, sometimes I just wish I could say to her…FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU SELF-OBSESSED WOMAN
Sadly, I don’t have the guts to do this, and I have to live with her for the rest of the year.
Also I can’t really bitch about her to my other flatmates, because they’re quite fond of her, it seems to be only me that get this “me, me me” treatment.

Is there an simple way out? Or should I just quietly deal with the fact she is not going to change her self-obsessed mind-set.

Right rant over. Woa couldn’t stop once I got going!

Another tough question. What you’re showing is the behavior of someone who likes to sit at the bottom of the ladder. Stuck-up self-obssessed a$ $ hole$ eventually get to learn something the hard way, and that usually sorts them out. Unfortunately there really isn’t a lot you can do without moving out, and if that’s not an option, then you could continue putting up with it – but eventually I reckon you will snap at her. It’ll just take a really terrible day followed by putting up with her rantings about being the small-miss-super-me-incredible-rich-b!tch and you’ll doubtless go medieval on her a$ $ !
Try changing the subject, or just growing the cajones to tell her politely to knock it off. No simple way out on this one. (That was a excellent rant by the way!)

A few days ago I questioned what the huge deal was in waterboarding a suspected terrorists who wasn’t caught cheating or stealing candy or anything like that & often supported if not helped & condoned the brutal killings of men women & children often with no reason or from remote devices so noone sees it coming. People who hide among civilians as protection. My question was how was that incorrect compared to what happened to Nick Berg or throwing acid in a girls face for just going to school? An answer there lead us to this one is it better to let more terrible guys go simple so you dont ever lock up the incorrect person or some innocent or is it better to lock up the terrible guys & try to weed out the periodic innocent guy who gets terrified in jail because of at the time reasonable belief he was a suspect? Is it better to let rapists & murderers out simple so noone on death row or in jail is innocent or is it better to lock them up and then with new evidences release an innocent guy & try to help say we’re sorry for the error. In either case be waterboarding or an mad dog or naked pyramid to caught or better yet preclude another rape or murders seems worth the chances of “torgtureing” the incorrect person. If someone is high up in a group there is always someone below him or above him & so if you get a small time hood who might just might help preclude or caught a criminal especially a rapist or murderer and may help preclude more wouldnt it be worth it to try to get him to talk? What if a univesity is the target of a serial rapist would it still be terrible if it might help track down someone? If there’s even a chance it seems at least worth consideration & again I dont mean just any joe I mean people who really might know something is it hard to not see everywhere harsh treatment might be helpful? And as I questioned there how is waterboarding or even a beating worse then being raped or what happened to Nick Berg?

I’ll just tell you the way I see it. The people who got water-boarded were the same people that like to behead reporters, then post the videos on the internet so the person’s family and friends can see it.

Water-boarding may be unlikable, but not as unlikable as getting your head chopped off.

In war, we could just shoot him and be done with it, but a few of them were spared that penalty, to extract information that might keep another innocent civilian from being be-headed.

They will now be unrestricted alive, I would say they got a deal better than they deserved.

What do you reckon? Answer below!

The Elmos have formed in a pyramid. This is the result of spending an hour at Target, wandering around…aimlessly.
