Does anyone else have this problem? She lives with us and is in relatively good health for her age. It's so difficult to spend any length of time conversing with her. She shows no interest at all in anything besides her opinions, health issues, how she sleeps, what she likes to eat etc.
Its not just me either, she will engage in this type of interaction with visitors or perfect strangers.
Any idea what is going on or how I can deal with this? She is very easily offended and becomes angry if she feels that I am being critical at all.

It must an age or personality thing. I got so frustrated with my dad I said I could die and he wouldn't even notice except I would not be around to chauffeur him around. He actually asked me how I was doing the next time I saw him. But only that once.
Grin and bear it. Nothing will change them at this stage of life.
Hugs, I know it is frustrating.
