It is worse when story tellers come in and hog conversations. It is even worse worse when there are more than one and it is one upmanship on the war stories. Find this unpleasant and tiring. I prefer listening from more people.
- vouaobrasil 2y agoYeah I dislike it when people always jump in with their experience rather than relating to the person who is talking. I figured out that some people are "relators" and some people are "analyzers and askers" and it's usually the latter that is much more fun to talk to. But I know that two "relators" who seem to talk past each other often also seem to enjoy this method.
- Bjartr 2y ago> people always jump in with their experience rather than relating to the person who is talking. For at least some of them, that is them relating to the person.
- slfnflctd 2y agoMy significant others' family we see several times a year has several such folks, and at least three of the top level people at the small company where I work are the same way. I've grown to be able to handle it much better than I could 20 years ago, but it's still deeply exhausting. On a bad day it will drain my energy to the point where I truly lose most of my ability to function and need significant time to recover.
- hippari2 2y agoAgree, and I often derange the conversation to cut their story shot lol ( sorry ). Unless they're really determined to continue. I notice other people do this to. And there are even different skill levels to how smooth they can cut into the story tellers.
- B1FF_PSUVM 2y ago> derange the conversation I was expecting to read "derail" there, but that's not bad either - I mean, it's bad, but in a deranged way ...
