I'm neurodivergent and a people pleaser so videos like this are a life-saver because I will literally keep standing there in growing discomfort just to listen to them instead of going to get my lunch or go to the bathroom in the only 15min break we have. I don't just need tips, these practical examples and scripts help a lot
I wanted to know what Jen said about Alex not showing up to the meeting on Tuesday tho 👀
Gotta keep in mind that some of the really dense people will straight up FOLLOW YOU while continuing the 1-sided convo even if you make an excuse.
I’m often the person who won’t stop talking. Strong ADHD in me and I often have difficulty picking up on social cues…so I totally get it. Most of my coworkers know that I never take it personally if they point out I’ve gone off the rails and they need to get back to work…in fact, I appreciate it! 😊
How to continue a conversation when the other person will not stop trying to escape: 1) They're running late for something: "Great news for you, I have the same meeting (or thing) so lead the way. As I was saying about billing that client..." 2) On that note I'm going to let you get on with the rest of your day: "on THAT note's note, the rest of my day is actually telling you about the billing of that client..." 3) Sorry to interrupt but I need to use the restroom: "It's ok to interrupt me this time but don't do it again. I actually have to use the restroom too. lead the way. So about that client billing..." You got this! Follow along for more.
I have a few friends who dominate our conversations. Sometimes I answer the phone with, “hey I have 5 minutes” and wait and just let them figure out what to do next. It works every time.
I’ve had someone say “well it was nice talking to you” in the middle of my sentence before 😂 So, that’s a good method lol
I struggled in the past because I always hate interrupting people. But some people just don't know when to stop talking and I have no choice but to interrupt them.
As the talkative person, something that applies to me ( not to everyone but to me at least ), is that since I know I am talkative, I tell people beforehand to stop me if I become too much so they frel comfortable interrupting me at some point if needed ! I don't get upset I know how I am and I know that people might need space, time or whatever and its okay !
as a extrovert i LOVE talking to people but sometimes i need a break too so thanks for this video
Most truly talkative people really dont mind being interrupted or asked politely to excuse yourself
For me it would be something like “girl I don’t the mental capacity for this today. I had horrible sleep last night. And on that note I’m gonna go get some coffee”. ✌️
I’m that non-stop talking friend/colleague 😭 I talk so much that in the middle of the conversation I start feeling I should let this person go! Omg how irritating they might feel about me!…. and then I still keep talking..
I'm so glad you stopped her. I thought I might actually die of boredom.
I've been in this situation, both ways around :') it's hard and embarrassing in both ways xD
I'm gonna sit there and talk shit about Alex even if I don't know him 💅
Can you do a friend version of this? 😅 my best friend is wonderful but she dominates phone conversations (talking 90% of the time) and misses all the cues that im done with the subject or the call. Dont want to hurt her feelings but she is a little oblivious to these things
This is my former boss. We’d have our coats on and our bags and literally have one foot out the door. He’d follow us the whole way talking and sometimes we’d get stuck at the office for half an hour past our shift time.
Sometimes they just keep talking even tho you just said you're leaving like rn! What I do is: Say bye and just leave! They're head you're leaving. It's their decision to keep taking and make it awkward. It's not your job to make it less awkward ❤
