A friend talks over me and interrupts me constantly . It’s extremely exhausting, draining, frustrating, rude . He has never done a simple google to easily see what a two way conversation actually is, or how anti social interrupting and talking over others is . He wrongly calls his interrupting and constantly talking over me, “a two way conversation” . I just want to b able to have a real 2 way conversation which means that I can finish my thought or sentence in peace and we each take turns after each person has finished speaking . He doesn’t realise that that is how to have 2 way conversations . Or at least that’s how he treats me . He might b more respectful and he might interupt others less and talk over others less aBd allow others to speak in oeace, more than he does to me . He then refuses to respond to what I have said, saying that he can’t remember what he wanted to respond, because he wasn’t allowed to immediately talk over me and interrupt me . I’ll find other ways of doing things Eg I might write a few words of what I want to say , to jolt my memory for later,of what I want to respond, but I won’t constantly talk over him and interrupt him constabtly like he does . He is too rigid to try a different way . I can’t get a word out or a sentence out, without him talking over me repetitively. It’s so draining infuriating trying to get a word out . He labels this all differently to justify it . Instead of calling it “interrupting and talking over me constantly” . He instead, labels it “HAVIng a 2 way conversation” or waiting his turn to talk he labeled as that “he’s not allowed to talk “ . He doesn’t realise how rude, exhausting, antisocial, obnoxious, it is to be constantly interupted and constantly talked over, and to not b able to get a single word or sentence out without his constant interrupting aBd talking over me . He doesn’t realise what a simple google would clarify for him, that a two way conversation means waiting till each person finishes speaking , and then responding . He doesn’t realise what the definition of two way conversation is , or how rude exhausting infuriating, antisocial and contrary to social rules, his constant interrupting and talking over me is
I don’t see solutions do you ? I’m looking for solutions not for cutting off from him . He does in some ways treat me worse than he treats other people, so it’s likely that he interrupts others, or talks over others, much less frequently than he does it me. it’s likely .that he is much more respectful in conversations with others. I’m looking for solutions . I’m not looking to cut off from this friend .
