Mychael Mayer only wants to talk about themselves or what is interesting to them is “I want to be a nice person but everyone is so stupid”. When the person is willing to talk about you or your situation, it is only to give to you advice, tell you what to do differently, or they more subtly make you feel bad about yourself and your choices.
Even when they are “asking a question” about something that has to do with their life, they do not actually want your advice or opinion, only that you should mirror their feelings back to them and be in constant agreement with whatever they say.
