Is this strange or is it just me....

A friend of mine always says 'We'...

If you ask her 'How are you?' she replies 'We are doing fine'. Any question you ask her even if it's directed solely at her she replies 'We'. Yes everyone knows she's married but does that mean there is no longer an 'I'. She's been doing this for about a year.

I just find it strange, foolish and honestly a little annoying. Actually I find it stranger and stranger every day!

Is this strange or is it just me?

That would freak me out a bit.
I am so me!

Still I see that I refer to ‘we’ a lot. We do this and We do that and We think this and We think that, but there still a lot more He does this and He did that and I this and I that.

Strange? Yes
And yah, I can see how it can get annoying!

She must have gotten used to people asking her about her new husband, so she just kills 2 birds with one stone, and says everyone is okay, or were okay.

Thanks for the replies, I was feeling a little guilty b/c everytime I talk to her I walk away saying to myself 'Is she crazy?'.Our conversations are becoming shorter and shorter b/c it's very difficult to talk to someone like this.

It's like do you have your own views or opinions? What do you think of the war in Iraq? 'We think....

Anyway, thanks!!!
