#I've long since learned that actively participating in the conversation makes things worse

Did a nice thing for my mum and bought her a decent-ish second hand phone for mothers day cuz she's been complaining about her phone not working
She took this as meaning "tell son about a whole bunch of traumatic crap"
#Her old phone is fine btw. It's getting old though as it's a galaxy s9. Got her an s21 for a decent price#I just sit here while she's happily talking away about something she's told me 50 times#Then she'll just switch to some depressing shit and upsets herself#All without a single word from me#I've long since learned that actively participating in the conversation makes things worse#If I speak up she'll either ignore it completely or lose track and start again or move onto some other topic#If I end the call when she starts getting upset I'm the asshole#So I just leave the phone on the side with myself on mute while I work on whatever I was doing before
