Thank u!!!

Thank you for the list summary of these convo disruptors.

I just see you elsewhere somewhere 👋Kev

When trying to have a conversation with a narcissistic person they are not listening to me anyway so I just stay mute, nod, and get away as quickly as possible.

LMAO!!! 🤣😂😅🤣😅😂

In my own Culture, depends on who is talking to you. No. 4. You dear not look into your Parents or elders, that is Rude .

I have this issue too but notice certain groups assume I’m stuck up when in actuality they are just rude and poor conversationalist 😔

I share the same situ. A Speech therapy kid seems to awkwardly stick with you at times, especially, with the impatient. Add severe trauma and it only compounds the problem.

I dont have a disability but this still happens to me just because of being soft spoken. I stopped talking because i dont like wasting my breath on rude people who arent listening.

I don't own a smart watch, maybe I'm a little out dated 🙂 but I do have a regular watch. And this was a great point to add. As checking the time, is a definite way of signalling you are bored or ready to go! Loved this! Thanks for sharing. ❤️

I think some of these things depend on the people and the situation mainly when it comes to frequently checking phone or smart watch. If it's a person I barely know or a neighbor n we're just making spontaneous small talk bc we ran into each other outside or at a store as a person likely not checking all of that bc I'm not as busy n don't have kids I'm not in the least offended when someone does. We did not after all set up a coffee or lunch date. It would make me notice n polite I might say "I'll let you go" they will either agree n wish me a nice greeting goodbye or say oh "no it's fine it's just so n so " n enthusiastically reengage in the conversation. If course if it happens again I would politely say the same thing but this time expressing that I need to get going also. If it's a friend or family member I don't often see that's a different matter but I would also take my cues based on how busy they are and how the rest of the conversation is going n the quality of our relationship to begin with. If I'm comfortable and we've been friends a long time and you're a good friend on many other ways I'm likely to not really mind some of these faux pas especially if it's not all the time. If it is something chronic like accidentally n enthusiastically cutting me off I would just eventually point it out in a nice way. Trying to one up me would be a severe character flaw n huge insecurity on that person's part that would prevent me from being friends with them in the first place. If it's a neighbor or coworker I would just be polite n cordial moving forward. If it's a family member your sort of forced to see sometimes like an in-law you have to try to come up with a way to extricate yourself from the conversation or be funny about it " like oh my gosh I thought my trip, job, new car etc was great until you told me about yours im sure that was your intent but since seem eager to tell me go ahead. Then I would listen offer a small ," oh that's nice" n again come up with an excuse to extricate myself. One of the biggest things that I sometimes do especially lately is monopolize more than I should n sometimes talk over. I know the reason for it is limited time with people who I have a lot to share with n also they do as well. I know for sure if I saw them more it wouldn't be an issue. I think this may be true for others especially the elderly or those more isolated or without family nearby.

I sense some prejudice against people with a more alt style

I agree, tattoos are distracting for me.

She has her ears pierced

😂😂😂

Oh so true. They read the title and think they wrote the book.

❤❤❤

She is discussing during a conversation with someone, completely different context to eyeballing a stranger .

​@ann.obrien5139 the commentor is not referring to a stranger. She's talking about the difference in having conversations with people of a certain age or status in other cultures. Which may be different then what the video advised.

That's how I felt! You're not alone ....

👌👌😍

Some people can drag a conversation, instead of getting to the point! They are not the only persons that wants your attention

Out of curiosity, what word is that?😂 Genuine question

Yes I am curious too. Could you please share the word.

What word did you add to your vocabulary? Thank you for your time!

We aren't doormats and don't deserve to be treated that way.

I think it depends on your relationship with the person n how much you value it n them. If it's a close family or friend I would politely ask to speak with them when they are not so wound up n after having listened in the past without judgement or comment. Express that you wish to help them n find it difficult to remain silent when listening to the same or similar problems but you also don't wish to give unsolicited advice or feel your judging them. Then ask what do they suggest n what would best help them n see what they say. You may be surprised by what they tell you. After they tell you, you are still free to say what works for you, how often n why. Then collaborate. All relationship require healthy, honest yet considerate communication.
