My friend of 2 years loves talking about the compliments people have told her over the years about her voice. The one thing she always brings up is that, as she is a singer, her voice has made numerous people cry. She will bring it up differently each time like “you know, I made my gym teacher cry once when I sang for her, isn’t that crazy?”. She says it like she “doesn’t understand why that happens” but now I’m convinced she thinks she has the best voice on earth. She dislikes going to concerts or performances because she’d rather be the one singing on stage and it “pains her” to hear others singing. She also says that she went to a psychic once and they told her she will be incredibly successful and that her purpose in life is to sing for people.
This is great and all but isn’t it a little weird to always be bringing these things up? What am I supposed to say when she inevitably brings them up? I usually say something like “wow that’s amazing” but I feel disingenuous as I don’t even think she’s good lol and I don’t like feeding her ego. Idk if that’s mean to say but I’ve never met someone as overly excited about a “talent” as her. She also always want me to hear her sing, whether it’s a recording or in person. I always say it’s really good and I don’t mind saying it but I can’t tell if her behavior is normal and I don’t want to empower it if it’s not. Are some people just this expressive about a talent of theirs?
Tl;dr friend is very proud of her singing voice and talks about it very often. Idk how to respond because I don’t think she’s that good but I also don’t want to be mean
