I came here because my family talks over each other. Now I do it when talking to people and I’m trying to unlearn it

[@playmaker7392]

I've often had trouble with figuring out social queues that determine the end of a conversation, Like ever since I was a kid. It's been difficult for me to figure out when somebody was actually done talking or just pausing in a conversation

[@sashalaroche9480]

so basically you are to sit down and shut up. I can do that. Because when when they are done talking I have forgotten what I wanted to say in the first place. so if my turn to say something comes up I stay silent. Hey works for me. Because what I say doesn't matter anyway. So the lesson I got from this is sit down shut up and speak at all.

The funniest part of this is that after they are done talking, I just silently stare into their soul because i’ve completely forgotten what was said and everything I had to say before that and I could look around and point at something to spark up new conversation though that would also be seen as rude since it would seem like I’ve pushed off their subject… Instead of realizing that this world is a constant change and it’s okay if you don’t get everything out in one moment because it’ll come out in the next wether it’s with the same person or a different, we get upset when someone interrupts us. Hmmm. This is why I’d rather stay inside

So what do you do when the other person just goes and goes and goes? He/she started with climate change and 5 minutes later without a breathe he/she is now on 67 Shelby mustangs.

My husband telling me is how I came here as well

[@jeanmarais337]

How do you stop someone talking 5 min about the wrong thing. Like how do you stop them from wasting their breath.

[@MelissaJMJ]

Thank you.

[@Leenabrown12]

This was good

How do you avoid BEING interrupted...That's what I came here to learn. I assumed it was other people that are the problem, but I'm wondering if there's something I can do to keep people from interrupting me.

[@anavalenz9716]

Stop being being boring and stop for others to talk.

[@monkeydtron]

I just lost my wife because of this. I wish I watched this first

All you told us was to pause. We all knew that. You said nothing about HOW to avoid the impulse to interrupt people.
