Does anyone have an idea why. I have a friend who is lovely,warm and caring but she seems to need to talk about herself, NOT in a 'focus on me' way. Its more that she tells people everything about her life and has an opinion on everything, its not critical of others its just "well I think...." or offering advice even when its not asked for, its always in a nice way.

Do you know me? 'Cause I think I'm a bit like that sometimes although hopefully not as bad as I used to be. I think it comes from a need to be accepted and not thought of as somehow being inferior by present company - and that, I'm afraid, includes friends.
It's taken slow realisation and some gentle pointers from my OH to make me understand what I'm doing and why I do it and, more importantly, that I am just as valid or as good as anyone else to the people who matter.

It's supposed to be the most commonly used word in the English language.
Perhaps, just for fun, you could try an "I box". Like a swear box except it can be 1p, 2p or whatever remaining coins she has about her person, until she runs out. You only need to maintain the game for as long as it takes to get the point across.
She could have a perfectly valid reason - such as she doesn't know enough about other acquaintances to make them the subject of conversation - and only after thinking it through (prompted by the "I box") will she be able to answer your question.
