What does this sentence mean to you?
“It’s so involved being me.”

I'm full of drama and a narcissist.

It sounds like snarky self-mockery to me. Because that is totally something I would say about myself, sometimes in this context, others with irony.

I have no clue.
But...in my experience, true drama queens don't post about being drama queens. They're typically too self-absorbed and arrogant to be self-deprecating.

That phrase, alone and out of context, means to me: "ask me more and if you're in my select group of worshippers, I might condescend to tell you, if I'm still feeling needy by the time I get to you"
Of course, the context could change everything.

Assuming they weren't joking, it's very self-centered.

If a friend gave you something with that saying on it, what would you think? I was pissed.

I called her out on it, and she had nothing to say.

Best case scenario: She thinks you are a marvelous, complicated individual.
Worst case: She thinks you are totally self-absorbed.

SaveSaveIt isn’t, and she is actually a nice person. She organizes events all of the time, and I think that she was irritated because I skipped one that she felt was (politically) important.

Go with marvelous and complicated. It is better than being boring and one dimensional.

I think that she was surprised that I said something in front of other people. But I was really offended. And I can only think of one way to take that saying. Thanks for the opinions. I began to wonder if I was reading too much into it.

Not to stick up for the giver because I don't know you or your friend...But as a card-maker I want to say that there are quite a few stamps and sayings out there that are pretty snarky right now. Personally, I don't buy those types of sets. But others think they are hilariously funny. My reaction to receiving that particular saying would be "Damn straight." And laugh it off.

It sounds like terrible grammar. I'm surprised that was actually printed on something. I thought it was just something someone said while not thinking about their word choice too carefully.

I think it means.... That the person in question, is very self aware, and is well aware of their own issues, idiosyncrasies, flaws, weakness, strengths, greatest assets, best and worst qualities, marches to the beat of their own drum, knows that they high maintenance, complicated, different, etc... in their own way. Self management, dealing with one's own self.... is a journey emotionally, mentally, physically, etc...
I can relate to the comment in question.
Being me, dealing with myself, is always a "work in progress". Finding oneself, healing, growing, learning, changing, accepting, living life in general(day to day - crazy adventures and everything else in-between), .....is a daily journey.
I think managing one's own well being and psyche, is a necessary part one's journey through life. It's took me years and years and years, to figure out, that I, very humbly, need to take care of me first.
As with any discussion, there will be many answers to the question asked. I think this question, falls into the "to each, their own" category, as far as what it means.

I think it was her passive aggressive way of saying..How could you think missing this meeting was more important then anything else you had to do?
She didn't say anything back to you, becuz what else could she say? She pretty much told you what she thought of you missing the meeting. Pretty crappy of her

I don't think you overreacted or took it the wrong way. I would totally validate your feelings on this one. And good for you for calling her out on it... not sure I would have gathered my thoughts quickly enough to do that.

If I said it about myself, that would be one thing. I'd probably be saying it while laughing at myself.
I could completely see my mother saying it about me. And it would be intended as a passive aggressive dig at me.
