My go to response when anyone woke starts the I am an X and I identify as point of the conversation is to place my palm in their face and say, never talk to me again and walk away. Yes, they scream like the children they are and no I don't care. If they only thing in their life that they care to discuss is their bedroom choices, I don't waste my time on them.
When I go into town and see them working and doing their jobs, and not seeking attention, I treat them like normals.
