Maybe I just outgrew my need to be "the star" and if so perhaps I should let her continue as she has been. I just wonder, is a discussion about humility appropriate and would it be beneficial?
OMG you reminded me of a girl that would take out a file and start filing her nails.

It was explained to me that some people are social clods.

They were not taught manners.

Someone has to teach them. Tell her in a kind way. She might not even realize how she is a distraction.
