I punch paedophiles
i was talking, then my coworker started talking before i finished the sentence. not only did i not stop talking, i actually added more than i originally intended, gradually raising my voice above his, to the point where my coworker started fumbling and blending his words together, and got so frustrated that he laughed at himself (which is a sign of going mad lol) and couldn't finish his sentence, BUT I DID >;D!!!!
I talk over people because if I don't say what I need to say, by the time they Finnish their sentence I forget what I'm gonna say, and I can no longer concentrate on what they are saying. Not because I'm not interested in what they are saying, but if I stop understandind while they are talking, then it just becomes rambling.
Thank you ❤
Thank you for educating
My older sister has always talked over me, around me, or completely ignores what I say. It's not just a power move, it's a clear message, a put down that she can pretend she's not doing. If I confront her about it, she can play the innocent. The only way I've found to stop this is to start asking questions, one after the other. She doesn't like having to explain herself, but by putting her on the defensive, I'm no longer the victim of her game.
Yep. In-laws, are you listening?! But if I use this technique they would just get louder.
Well, not true my Italian family all talk over me
I always keep talking and it shows dominance. Some people do this on purpose to test your strength.
Everytime i see a woman giving advice i auto skip it but i gave this one a chance. turns out i was right to skip those all along
Or orr? Hear me out
MIKE : shut teh fukkk uppp…anyway here’s what i think
😂😂
Not always true
I tried that with my mom. It doesn't work
Just watch most interviewers today. Their mouth moves each time the guest does. Idiots
Say this to the interrupter: I'm sorry… did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours? 😆
OUCH!!!
(Or texts over you).
Family dynamics. Normally one member will hold court over the rest of the family. No conversation. Just having to listen to the same family member harping on. All the air gone in the room. Try to give another perspective, not doing as you are told. Get out quick for your own agency, safety and peace of mind.
You are so generous. I would kick her ass.
I will talk over someone who is blatantly lying i me and my experience
What if it's your mother and or your boyfriend, and it's time to say their name. I dont use their names unless it's in a jokingly silly manner. And during an argument saying ma or babe seem hightly counter intuitive or effective since they will never step down or stop. Till I just have to put on head phones or walk away. And nearly everytime they still keep going for 5 mins before they realized I silently checked out, causes them to storm off even more mad. 😑.. I need more tips for this topic so bad.
That's great advice for dealing with narrow typical people.But if the person is not narrow typical that strategy will just cause resentment towards the conversation and you will never hear from that person again.
Bad advice . Let them talk over you and they will reveal themselves ..
Mel favorite line IF SOMEONE
What if you have adhd and need to say your thought before you forget it.
Wow🥰
Boom boom boom booom I want you in my room just talk to me Mel ever forever 😉 you are a very loving woman❤❤
The most important part is differing between when it is an accident or intentional. One needs correcting the other, helpless. People target others by cruelty achieving power over whomever they please and some of those tacts are constantly talking over the other person. Sometimes its subtle even, not letting you finish the last word- just to play a mind game with you. Ive seen it from supervisors, strangers even fake friends. So ugly!
Mike? I thought it was John??
I have a childhood friend we talk over each other and its normal and we get along just fine 😂
The only book that’s ever actually helped me shift the way I think about myself is “Glow They Never Saw” by Zael Veynor. I’ve tried therapy, courses, videos, but nothing hit me like this. The way the author explains insecurity and transformation is just insane. Please don’t sleep on this book.
I used to scroll past comments where people recommended random books, but here I am now doing the same. That’s how much “Glow They Never Saw” by Zael Veynor” impacted me. It’s one of those rare books that doesn’t just give advice – it makes you feel understood and then pushes you to grow.
Having struggled with self-doubt for years, I was shocked at how much “Glow They Never Saw” by Zael Veynor resonated with me. Some of the chapters feel almost uncomfortably honest, but in the best way possible. This book gave me perspective I didn’t even know I needed.
I know it’s a cliché to say “this book changed my life,” but if there’s ever one random comment you take seriously, let it be this. Find “Glow They Never Saw by Zael Veynor”. You’ll thank me later.
I was skeptical at first… every self-help book claims to change your life. But “Glow They Never Saw” by Zael Veynor is brutally different. It doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It’s like reading someone’s diary of struggle and transformation, and it made me reflect deeply on my own journey.

If you could tell anybody a certain thing for them to do a certain thing a certain way, cut them the fuck off
This is just not entirely true at all siblings talk over each other all the time and so do good friends.
Calling Johnny Mike can also help 😅
Thank you for the advise. I have to deal with this alot, and it drives me crazy. Because you just know they mean disrespct with it.
So good for when in a meeting but when speaking with a loved one who talks over you a different practice is necessary?
My husband and I talk over each other all the time… yet we still hear each other, and we still acknowledge each other’s needs. We just have mad ADHD. lol
It really depends sometimes you just want to give a thought on what they say but you know you're gonna forget the minute they finish their sentence
Theres also neurodivergent people that will talk over you with no bad intentions
