How to handle someone who talks about him/herself constantly

Are you tired of the person who constantly talks about every single thing in his or her life? And you can't get a word in ever? And if you ever say anything about yourself, or ask this person an opinion about a problem you're having, they look at you like, how dare you interrupt their life with your silly problem?

Talking to this person will get you nowhere. These types of people are so into themselves that they are in denial about ever possibly doing anything wrong. So, the thing to do is to compartmentalize this friendship. Make it a very shallow relationship. If this person is in your group of friends, only see him or her when you are with the group. Otherwise, don't share your feelings with this person or in any way consider this a lasting, deep friendship...because it isn't.
