On the rare occasion you get a word in she'll interrupt, sometimes in mid-sentence, about something totally different. According to the Office of Student Conduct at University of California, Irvine, interrupters don't always realize their behavior is disrespectful and negatively impacts other people. The Boomerang shows high levels of respect for the interrupter and is useful when the interrupter is a superior.

Sometimes I can barely contain my disgust and actually insult the person who is interrupting. So, why not use that same tactic? My wife told me that I did this to her too for years. His parents were godawful people, even worse than mine.

How to Handle Someone That Interrupts When They Are Not Being Spoken To - Take on the role of a friendly interviewer and ask them questions seeking more information and details about their opinion.

It drives me insane. I work with a woman who does this to everyone. What's even worse is that her very loud interruptions usually have nothing to do with the topic of discussion. Also she will often walk into a room loudly proclaiming something. This woman practically yells when she speaks. What is wrong with people who behave this way? Do they even realize what they are doing? If she continues to try to talk over your conversation turn around and tell her that you are in the middle of a conversation and turn back around. There was a woman who was like this in my office and we learned to ignore her and freeze her out - she finally got the message. Plus, she gets pissed off, folds her arms and glowers when it's not her turn to speak. It is so repulsive. She came by it naturally as her mother did it too. I've chastised my niece many times about it to the point of getting angry, especially during phone conversations. I'll be talking and she just bursts right in and starts running her mouth. That phone conversation ended rather abruptly. These nonstop talkers bother me more than people who interrupt. I grew up in a family where conversation was a competitive event. Dinner was always a very lively affair. However, once I got out in the world, I realized that not everyone grew up in a family such as mine, and I had to adjust. I am from a pretty WASPy background, but I wonder if the woman in question is Italian or Jewish. My partner interrupts me all the time. His problem is that he will not wait until the end of the sentence to get all of the information. If he does not understand something, he immediately asks a question rather than allow me to finish a sentence. We tried to learn German together. The fact that the verb was often at the end of the sentence made his head explode. He goes on and on, in detail, about every little thing down to what a person was wearing and every word single exchanged. Most people are nodding off or have that look of stupefaction you get when your eyes glaze over by the time the story ends. A woman I know talks on and on and on, absolute nonsensical chatter. She can talk forever and say nothing of consequence. Most of the time I've seen her she's seemed a little drunk and I suspect she drinks too much and mixes with prescription pills. What's scary is she's a nurse. On the rare occasion you get a word in she'll interrupt, sometimes in mid-sentence, about something totally different. Or, sometimes, and this absolutely kills me, after she'd been monopolizing the entire conversation for what seems like ages as usual she acts like you're the one who's blabbing on and she can't get away. Some people just don't like to listen. She still keeps in touch, but after getting together with her for lunch with another neighbor of mine when she was in town, my patience has really worn thin. She's also hypersensitive it seems. Once the string is pulled he has to go through the whole recording. I know a woman who talks incessantly and will ask you a question but before you can finish she is talking about something else. I also know a very elderly woman who talks only about herself and her family and praises her kids to the skies but has never once asked another person if they are married, have kids, what their job is. She does't have the slightest interest or clue about anyone of her neighbor's lives. I am very scatterbrained. I am not a nonstop talker, however, and get annoyed by them as well. My partner and I went out to dinner with chatty older friends of hers last weekend. They talked so much that I couldn't get a word in. They called my partner afterwards and said that they couldn't believe how quiet I am. When ever I would start to say somethng he would interupt, and just talk right over me. The one time I asked him about it, he said that he did it because he knew what I was going to say as soon as I started to talk. We broke up after a long weekend spent camping. It was the closest thing to hell I could imagine. I ended up screaming at him over nd over again that he didn't know what I was going to say, and he needed to shut the fuck up. It's how you know she's tuned out what's being said, and only occurs when actual work is being discussed, never during boring stories about kids or pets. Did I mention she's the boss? Well: she's the boss. And if you try to ignore her she keeps saying 'excuse me' until you answer her. Then she goes off on another topic. She's starting to get dementia and says the same things over and over. It's really hard sometimes to be patient with her. I know a guy who is married to an idiot like this. It drives me insane. If so, job well done. I have had many people talk over me, interrupt me and allowing others to interrupt me while having a conversation with them. It;s pointless in trying to have a conversation with people like that because anything that you are trying to say will be in response to some kind of interruption. I just don't bother with idiots who can't show any proper respect. It indicates interest, engagement in conversation. The reason Howard Hawks films all sound natural is that he put extra words in each line so actors could deliberately overlap. HOWEVER When people get irritated by overlapping and call it interrupting, they are playing a powergame. Last night my cat bit me! Can you believe it?! It's not like I haven't been feeding him or anything! Maybe he's still angry with me because of that one time I tried to make him wear one of my wigs?? This is what we need to be talking about people! Help me figure this puzzle out!!! He bumped into people and didn't apologize, and when we went into the restautant, instead of waiting for a table inside, he grabbed my hand and pulled me out onto the patio. The server looked very embarrassed when I asked for a dinner menu and had to tell me we could only get appetizers out there. I was a little chunky then, however, my friend had promised I'd be wined and dined. The cheap bastard put down single mothers I'm a single mom and was generally a Eurotrash chauvinest sp? I told him to take me home, and he stopped for gas! After he did it the third time, I realized he had no interest in what I had to say. Turned out he was buttering me up so he could ask me for a loan. I would have been more likely to give it to him if he hadn't acted like that. He made it so easy to say no. The grandson was diagnosed as autistic and what I immediately thought but never said was, well, no wonder -- the child's brain circuitry probably snapped, being confronted with that maniacal in-your-face loudness all the time. Frankly, I too fell a few notches on the autism scale after a five-minute interaction with this woman! Reminds me of an episode of American Dad where Stan got tired of his son Steve always screeching, and so when he finally had enough, he literally yelled back at Steve. I don't remember what he said, but it was hella funny. She doesn't ask personal questions of others because she doesn't want others to ask personal questions of her in return. She came from a horrible childhood and is ashamed and hasn't resolved any of it. I only found out about some of the things when she got pissed at me about something and dropped the information as a comparison and never expanded on it. Bitch needs to be in therapy. Sometimes you can strike up a wonderful conversation with a stranger but other times it's hellish. I find it very weird when someone you don't know is suddenly saying 'Well, George said... Some of these people are shut-ins who just need to blab until their batteries run out. When I realized I had once again interrupted, I'd apologize and redirect the conversation back to the original topic. Now I can't remember the last time I did it. She'd talk about herself ALL the fucking time, and if anyone else actually managed to get in a word or two edgewise, she'd interrupt them and find a way to relate it to herself. Those four are irritating, self-absorbed cunts just like you are. I much prefer interrupters to self-absorbed cretins who think they're always standing at a dais. And she does this to our boss constantly. So now his blood is boiling and raising his voice at her, but rather than shutting up and listening, she'll keep talking over him, pissing him off even more. He's sure in a foul mood. Unfortunately, he often invites a common acquaintance to join us. My friend feels somewhat sorry for this fellow, as he's lonely and socially awkward. Unfortunately, he's also a droner and an interrupter. I find myself not bothering to try to converse, and I certainly can't enjoy the time talking with my friend because this boor is constantly finishing sentences and launching into the most boring stories. I feel badly for the guy, but I don't have a lot of social time available and I feel like every minute of torture with this person is time stolen from me and my friend, so, unfairly, I resent him for it. Not to mention it's detrimental to my blood pressure. Unfortunately, calling attention to it only hurts his feelings. So I avoid the situation whenever possible. If only all interrupters were charming and witty like Carry Grant and Kate Hepburn. In any case, a lot of fast talking in Hawks's comedies was about men and women not being able to connect or have a dialogue. So, you are not using a very good example here. And Hawks believed that action showed emotions better than words, which is why his characters were so loose with words in many of his films. Not all though, just his screwball comedies. I have an old roommate I miss. However, her husband has a total loser friend. I've stopped accepting invitations to dinner at their house, because this jackass is almost always invited. He'll show up, kill an ongoing conversation and launch into a droning account of some unbelievably trivial matter. I ask her out to lunch so I can control the guest list. He'll go off on tangents based on tangents based on tangents until you get lost and cannot even remember WTF his original thought was. It is physically and mentally EXHAUSTING. Every time I call him or stop by because I'm lonely and don't have many friends in the area I quickly regret it--every single time! It's called BE QUIET AND DON'T SAY A WORD FOR FIVE MINUTES!!! Hawks was a true studio system director. He was one of the few directors who successfully transitioned from one genre to another, all within the limits of the system he belonged to. Still he was able to make films that were a reflection of his worldview, which was not an easy feat one that was first recognized by the french critics in the early 50s. Altman and Cassavetes were true independents, from an entirely different time. At dinner our attorney buddy was describing how, as executor, he went to the fabulous condo of the deceased to go through all the drawers. We anticipated a great story and A. WHY WOULD YOU GO THROUGH HER DRAWERS? She said she had ADHD, which I doubt, since she was valedictorian of our HS and had great grades at Northwestern. She did have two cerebral aneurisms SP? But also, she's Greek and her whole family does this. Some psychos repeat this behavior, thinking this is how a point is gotten across and imagine they are impressive and assertive. My work hired a woman like that once. Everyone else would be working, and she would sit there and look around at everyone, and then suddenly start yapping. Not surprisingly, she wasn't getting any work done while she yakked, which was even more annoying. If she'd been able to multi-task while chatting, it wouldn't have been so bad, but nope. Once, and only once have I lost my temper towards him regarding this interrupting. He looked so shocked and hurt, that I never did it again. And he STILL interrupts. Our mutual friend has spoken to him about possible hearing issues. She was very opinionated and everything with her was a monologue. If you attempted to interject a comment, it was TALK TO THE HAND! She'd hold up her hand in your face, turn her head away from you, and keep yapping. My partner had given up on her long ago and just let her run on. I realized that nothing was ever going to change and my partner was obviously siding with Mommy, so that was the end of our relationship. It wasn't the best way to handle it, but I couldn't take it any more. I find myself doing this but only with one friend in particular. It takes him forever to get to a point and I can't help but place the next word for him so he can continue. She was always interrupting people, talking over them, and trying to dictate the flow of a conversation. It turned out that she was hiding many secrets, including the circumstances under which she had left her previous job, moved to our city, her finances, family, all sorts of things. In retrospect, it explains her behavior: she was trying to steer conversations from anything that would take her out of her comfort zone and would push her to answer questions about her past. Constantly talking over me. Oh, give me a break with excuses. She's just needing to get her opinion out there and her opinion is all that matters. That's what a lot of people and it drives me insane. He constantly interrupted us, especially when we talked about something he knew nothing about. Drove me mad, but I tried to be accepting of his stank white trash ass because he had serious family issues. His parents were godawful people, even worse than mine. He was on disability and would use his food stamps to purchase cheesesteaks and hoagies, instead of buying food that required cooking. His home was overrun by roaches too. Eventually we lost contact because he was just to controlling and insane. I have already been there for a 10 hour shift and Icame in for report before my shift in plenty of time so outgoing staff can leave on time and I am constantly 10 or 15 mins after my shift is over!!!!! OMG, my friend is like this with me! I swear, it's like she has a convo running in her head and just assumes that I can hear it, too. I came in for report before my shift in plenty of time so outgoing staff can leave on time and I am constantly 10 or 15 mins after my shift is over!!!!! My stepdad was a fireman for 35 years, and the unwritten agreement that all the firemen had was that they'd arrive 30 mins early each shift so that the outgoing guys didn't have to take any last-minute calls that'd put them into overtime. Sometimes, they'd get a newbie asshole who thought the rule didn't apply to him, and he'd show up right on time instead of early like everyone else. And most importantly, the guy who would replace the asshole wouldn't come in early, either, so the jerk would be the one inconvenienced. After a few shifts like this, the assholes would always change their tune and fall in line. I hope that doesn't happen in your case. Or you have heard the person said it before. You want to show it that you remember what he told you before, so you finish his sentence. He was very upset I did that. Is it so wrong to show it to the other person that you pay attention to what he said in the past and what he is saying now. If you don't want this, then don't tell me the repeated story. The talking loudly over people is a habit he never had until he went to live in the US for a few years. We used to be close but I find it quite hard to be around him these days. He didn't interrupt, but no matter what you started to say, his response was to turn the subject immediately back to himself. He told me once and I could tell his feelings were hurt that this other friend of ours actually asked him once, why are you always turning the subject back to yourself? I didn't have the heart to confirm to him that that other friend was right. I have 4 children and my wife. I also have a very successful career in sales in software consultant for several companies. I use to get so mad when people interrupt me but later found out that I am equally as guilty. I have found people are like me that have a hard time focusing on conversations and when a thought hits, we have to state or it will be gone for a long time. And there are other people that have poor communication skills. Even with disabilities like ADHD, you can try to adapt and do better. I am currently not on medication because the extreme effects all medicine can have on my body. So I have had to learn to do everything naturally by reading topics like psychology, NLP, meditation, interpersonal skills, etc. Sorry for drawn out comment but I understand both sides. Its very hard to hold back your thoughts but at the same time it is annoying to be cut off. One technique I use is what I use in advertising. Say as little as possible but enough to catch their attention. A lot of Americans have grown up with loud music and earbuds and as they age, they slowly and gradually lose hearing. They don't even realize they're turning up the tv louder and talking louder so they can understand all the words. It's hard to break the habit. Since everybody over 40 on America has hearing loss, it's not surprising. It won't be long now before people will be losing their hearing even younger. My nephew used to race in motocross as a pre-teen. It didn't occur to his parents he might need to preserve his hearing. This really pissed me off when I found out about it, I asked them about it but they didn't see what the problem was. I notice it's only with other women and ESPECIALLY if that woman is talking with the boss. And it will nothing to do with their conversation- he'll just start his own from across the room. He will be minding his own business and ignoring everyone unless someone is speaking to the boss. DID YOU SEE THE YANKEES PLAY, THAT GAME WAS AMAZING. I HAD TICKETS AND WE HAD GOOD SEATS!!!! What pisses me off is that the Boss NEVER calls him out on interrupting the conversation. The asshole is always humored. I feel inferior and end up keeping quiet through conversations, many times I could feel like I couldn't edge a word in or that I just have nothing to input. I put my listening face on and after an hour or two, biting my tongue to stay awake! TO me it is a controlling mechanism and I think it is all a symptom of low self esteem and insecurity. I just have no patience with people sometimes and want to get them to their point. If I have the answer or an insight that might stop their long story, I'll try to throw it in. An example might be like this. Ditto to the person who says they are afraid of their train of thought also being forgotten, that happens to me too. If I have the answer, or something funny, I want to say it first before anyone else, haha! This friend of a friend not only interrupts, and goes on and on about banalities, but she answers questions for others. If you ask someone a question,she will horn in with the answer. In addition she is a passive-aggressive pearl clutcher who is chronically late for everything. Finally asked my friend not to include me if that woman is in the mix. At least that's how I define it, and I've just met another person like this whom I think I need to drop because it's so freaking annoying. I am polite and secure, and can often learn something new or interesting by listening to people. After one too many interruptions and failures to catch a clue, I drop these people - gladly - but they are always mystified and hurt, and come up with ego-centric explanations for why I don't want to see them. So basically I'm starting to conclude it's hopeless. It's been good therapy reading everyone's complaints. I think it is like R14 said. I grew up in a big family, six kids, you had to be sharp and quick out of the gate to be heard. I've been getting a lot better at though. I found it's tolerated a lot less in the adult workplace. It's working and I'm getting a lot better at not doing it. I'm even catching myself. I stop talking and say sorry I interrupted and let the person go on. I really want to break myself of this habit. He says it's because he has ADD. But I don't interrupt people while we're talking. At least, I don't think I do. No one's ever told me I do. My friend I first spoke of knows he does this. That's the reason for the apology. I wish he'd just stop interrupting. But I'm not holding my breath. She calls because she has to, then tells everyone she knows she called me so they will know how involved and caring she is she also tells everyone about any money she sends. But she will talk over your sentences; she'll ask a question then answer it herself. The family member almost always responds, therefore they really did hear the question. Not that there are not other reasons, but this is definitely one of them. My mother does this, always has - it can be really heartbreaking to a child because it give the message one is not listened to. ADHD, or ADD types sometimes, but not in everyone, tend to blurt out whatever comes to mind immediately. They learn to get it out before they forget because many have short-term memory difficulties, or they may not filter relative to what is supposed to be attended to, properly. So, the upside is, once you get that, you learn to be a more compassionate person. Hope this helps someone out there. The guy goes on endless monologues where he tells the same story over and over again just from different angles. The woman also talks a lot and she quite often interrupts people. I think they both don't realise this. Like they are on a one track mind when it comes to talking. I quite often wonder about this and how people are wired differently when it comes to paying attention and being interested in your environment and other people around them. Would be interesting to find out what an expert on social interactions has to say about this. My mum's been diagnosed with it and it's really hard to get a word in when she starts one of her rambling monologues. She also constantly interrupts people, walks into rooms talking loudly and expects other people to stop their conversations mid sentence to listen to her. The psychiatric diagnosis coalesced many of her behaviours and made good sense. Unfortunately the disorder can't be medicated or cured- only managed through Behavioural Cognitive Therapy, Biofeedback and similar techniques. And many HPD people stop going to treatments because they crave novelty. Raise your hand in a non-threatening manner, look them in the eye. Continue looking towards the one who was speaking and make the hand gesture at the interrupter. Chances are, these folks are aware they have this problem. No need to make them feel badly. It has drove me crazy for a very long time now. And i can't bring it to her attention as i know she will either interrupt me again, while at the same time be very annoyed that i complained about her at all she thinks she can do nothing wrong. Then it's me who looks like an idiot in the end. But really, if she would just listen to what i have to say in the first place instead of interrupting then there wouldn't be an argument! It NEVER occurs to them to ask a question to get to know the person better or to show interest in the life of the other person. I can ask them many questions seeking to get to know them better and to show an interest in them and their life, but they never ask me even one question about me. I spoke with a neighbor for two hours yesterday - I had spoken with her only 20 minutes a couple of years ago so this was a get-together to get to know each other better. She did not ask me even one question about myself, but was very happy to talk about herself for two hours. Then when she finally winds down my partner or I will be talking and she'll turn to my dad and say 'do you need some more wine? Give me your plate, no, no pass the plate, here, have some more... We now stop the conversation dead in its tracks so the only sound you hear is her bossing around my dad. Then it dawns on her she was being rude and will say, oh, um, go ahead. But it happens every time 2 or 3 times a month. She'll also interrupt and lately i just keep talking, getting louder and louder until she finally stops and pouts. Then I ask what she was going to say and she can never remember. And I love Stephen Colbert, but he has a bad habit of doing that to his guests too. I know some of it is his blowhard character, but sometimes I really want to hear the story behind the book. Pirates the topic and makes it about something that has nothing to do with where she went with it... It is incredibly rude and drove me insane. One thing for sure, I never want to carpool with her again. Some people I meet do the same and I feel comfortable around them. Otherwise I try to stop but it's very difficult. The worst of it is when I do it in professional situations, especially with people I haven't met before. When I don't do this it's because I am very bored, and then I usually don't speak at all. But as soon as something interests me, I just open my mouth and talk. Still, what I say usually is on topic. When I was a kid it was worse because I really said the first thing that came into my brain. I believe my mother encouraged this when I was very small because she was living in a different country and I was the only person she knew who spoke her mother tongue. Also, as kids are, I was probably more entertaining than the radio at the time. When I feel calm I tend to do this less or even not at all. Actually, one of the reasons why I love DL so much is because it's a forum and anonymous at that , and sometimes I'll post 5 times in a row just to get thoughts out of my head. I talked to one on the phone and it was awful. Every time I spoke, he spoke. When I'd be quiet to allow him to speak, then HE would be silent. I got the feeling that he had some sort of. It didn't feel like standard rudeness, but like he actually could not help himself. That said, I got so angry I considered getting dressed and going down there to visit him face-to-face. I'm no tough guy, but I was curious to see what such a person must look like. Anyway, we both loved Bringing Up Baby while we were growing up. Today the film bores me after 40 min, I can't take any more of it. He still adores it and is about to show it to his new boyfriend. It also helps me to stay calm, focused and finish my sentence, if I don't have to face an insensitive idiot who has no intention of paying attention to what I have to say anyway. Some famous person once said that if you don't have the ability to listen you never learn anything. Anyways, it's better to keep away from people like that, most are not very bright, so talking to them is neither inspirational nor educational. Was in a meeting once with my female boss, the female accts manager and the female CEO and both my boss and the accts mgr talked over me constantly and often off topic. Usually, I can ignore it but it was so obvious and frequent that at one point I turned to the CEO and said something about the two women talking over me and how I couldn't get a word in. In the spirit of the sisterhood the CEO stared blankly at me and allowed it to keep happening. Men aren't great communicators either but have found women in their 50s and 60s to be the worst at talking over others. One is my good friend, but she just can't help but try to finish your sentences. She knows she does it and tries not to. When she does it to me, I just stop talking and close my eyes until she realizes what she's done and apologizes. That's the only way she will learn! I've told her a couple of times to stop interrupting me. She doesn't get it. The problem is, and I've witnessed this, she will be so busy interrupting that she misreads the whole point of a conversation and will get upset about something that was only in her head. She's retiring soon, thank God. I try to only email him now and never offer opinions on why his other friends won't call him back. Had to leave in the middle of the appointment. I probably steamroll other people who want to talk. But hey, it's how I work. My partner meanders around forever and will babble for 10 min about a dog he saw on the street or his friend's haircut or something. We are quite a pair. I used to be a good conversationalist but I worked in an office where everyone talked over me so if I had anything to say I had to just say it. I am better about it now, but I have a bad habit of telling anecdotes that no one wants to hear. She also as one here poster confessed about herself is scatterbrained and always has been. I don't see her doing this to her friends or acquaintances but maybe she does nd i don't know it. I told him 1000 times to stop interrupting. And I cut him off when his sentences never end. At first I tolerated it when we were newly married, but later in the marriage, I couldn't stand it anymore. He recently stated that my telling him to stop talking makes him hate me. Well fine, then be on your way and find someone who wants to listen to all that shit. I do it and I realise it is a bad habit and makes people think you are not listening. The best way, if possible, is to make a quick note of the point you want to get across and this stops a person from interrupting. It is rude and can mean you are not listening to the other person as you are too bothered about getting your point across. It takes practice not to do it and is a bit of an art. I'm an extremely graceful listener and flexible conversationalist otherwise. I would be talking about something and she would interrupt loudly about something that had no context based on conversation. I eventually realized I could get exactly two and a half sentences out before status interrupticus. And the subjects she would bring up were always either awful -- like she would suddenly start talking about some woman friend of hers who was supposedly surgically experimented on by the Nazis -- or she would start telling me about someone I'd never met before. And he loves me. He always tells me how I am his favourite aunt. Did you know that when my children were young, all of their friends would run away from home and come to my house? It was because they liked me so much. I eventually realized she is a large 3 year old who has to have attention on herself all the time. After 15 years of it, I completely stopped going to her house or to the house of any relative of my husband's, because he always drives his mother to any family event. I have no use for her at all. I've heard every conversation 100 times already and since I never get to converse, why fucking bother? She doesn't want to see me, she wants to hear herself. She is allowed to come to my house once a year, for a few hours and then my husband must drive her home. It drove me nutz. Yes, he had ADHD. I also think the other poster who said it was ADHD and insecurity got it right. My x did it the most when he was meeting people for the first time. No matter what I say, she responds with something related to her. I recently had emergency surgery for a life threatening condition. As in I nearly died. If I mention my health status at all -- I'm in pain or I'm having a side effect of a medication or I make a casual passing remark about the gassyness of some food I've eaten I have GI condition , she will immediately tell me about one time when she had SUCH bad pain, she could not walk. She could not get out of bed. And despite that, she went to work and worked like a dog for 10 hours because she had no choice. She's doubled over with gas pain all the time. She has to take milk of magnesia every day. For forty years, she's had such bad gas pain every single day of her life that tears would come to her eyes as she held it in. Now she just lets it rip. As if I need to be told. Any subject at all. I'm buying a new dining room chandelier, she launches into a monologue about her dining room light, about a beautiful chandelier owned by her former boss thirty years ago, about a relative who had a Waterford chandelier and who would have a chandelier party every year, inviting her friends. They'd take down the chandelier and take it apart and wash it and put it back together..... And, if I've heard the story 500 times, it doesn't matter. You've told me the story many, many times. And every year, she'd have a party.. As if I am going to find it more interesting this time. But most of her stories are negative, because she's a very negative person. I grew up listening to her criticize everything and everybody and that was how I learned to converse. So all of my conversations involved criticism, complaints or snarkyness. I though that was normal. Finally one day, someone told me in a roomful of people during a work break that I was the most negative person he'd ever met, never talking except to say something critical or nasty. I was terribly embarrassed, but realized it was true. I'd been brought up to be a snarly person. I changed the way I conversed. I began asking people more questions about themselves, their lives, etc and would listen to find who they were and how they felt, instead of my airing some gripe about working conditions. If I have been in a similar situation where I've had trouble in my life as my friend has, I don't automatically launch into a recital of my own experience.
