3. One of the reasons I hate small talk

Sometimes people tell me more than I want to know and need to know. It starts at small talk. I have been accused of being aloof or stuck up, but mainly I put off the air of disinterest to avoid hearing what I don't want to hear, especially with those chomping at the bit to tell "someone", "anyone", "something" what they think is so important in their relative lives.

That aside, it sounds as if she has some issues of self infatuation and the behavior afterwards is disturbing, if her story is true at all. I tend to doubt story tellers that want to emphasize on their "assets". Sometimes they want that negative attention, men and women both, so they can act disturbed by the reaction.
