Please tell me you have a friend like this?! There is not one milestone/event that occurs that she doesn't have to interject her own story/experience. This bothers me to know end.....everything from getting married, babies, illness, death, jobs, whatever! I think I get maybe 30 seconds and BAM, back to her. Please tell me what this is about? Are some people really just that self absorbed or is this just how she processes information??? Sorry for venting- it just really annoys me!

Would saying "yes" to your question and telling you a horror story make me the new relater?
Haha...but seriously, I think we all know someone like that. I also sometimes worry that I'm being that person if someone is looking for advice and I offer my own experiences. But I hope my concern about this means that I'm not really that self absorbed.
I'm sort of the relater.
usually it's because I want the person I'm talking to know that I understand or am trying to understand using a similar instance that happened to me. Sometimes its because I want them to know thay everything will be ok.
ex:my friends baby was born early and is still unfortunately in the hospital. relater story- my sil's are twins born early who had major health problems for a long time, but now are healthy, intelligent 19 yr olds. so by relating the story i'm trying to offer some comfort.
I try really hard not to be a topper though.
