yes, if you are talking you are not learning, just repeating what you already think you know thoughts can get sorted by speaking them out loud, sometimes, but it's not the way of genuine learning somebody else: 'don't think he even heard me' me: 'you'd be surprised what I hear'

OMG 100% this. Not much that gets my goat more than that.

I get interrupted, I don't want to continue talking and I am the guilty one, although I got rudely interrupted. Happens way too often.

all the damn time

It’s been my experience if I’m taking to person A and if person B interrupts and I don’t immediately shut up, I’m the one who gets yelled at for interrupting.

I do the same. Or pointedly ask if I can finish my thought. Took me years to start doing that.

Yup

Or you make some point, but people kind of talk over you and then a few minutes later someone else makes the same point and everyone listens to it???!

I feel so seen right now.

All. The. Time. And people wonder why I don't talk.

Absofuckinglutely. “This guy’s been patiently listening to my 30 minute monologue. He can listen another fucking hour.”

The amount of energy it takes for me to actually say something! Welp… guess I won’t, then.🤷‍♀️

see that's when I guilt em. "Well, I was, but................."

And when you try speaking over them to finish your thoughts, they look at you as if you're the rude one.

yeah, those people don't have thoughts, and they don't deserve yours, mine either
