Listen to me, dammit!

i've had a bit of the problem myself, and i've managed to make it better by talking more and talking louder. Timing's also important i.e: if someone is reading and they're into their book, don't bother talking to them b/c u'll only get that annoying "what'd u say?" and u'd have to repeat everything u say.
sometimes tho it really seems that everyone around me is deaf and i find myself repeating what i said hundreds of times ^^;;

and what exactly do you talk to people about? there has to be ONE person that's interested in what you have to say. if people don't know what ur talking about, perhaps explaining would be a good idea. and don't force the topic change, just let the topics flow from one to another. or start a conversation yourself when there's a lull in the convo.

i have a friend that's also constantly talking about WoW, and since i don't play it, i don't respond much. But i do talk about RO quite a bit with him, but he doens't play RO at all. he actually refuses to play. So basically our conversations are of him talking about WoW and myself talking about RO. Completely different games, but it doen'st bother me much.

if you wanna be in control of the situation, then just...be in control. be a bit more assertive, watch what other people are doing in the conversation. Are they just nodding along, or are they actually giving input? If you see someone constantly at the center of attention, try to mimic what they're doing. Are they being loud? what kind of things are they saying?

one of my ex best friends used to constantly interrupt me, and that used to piss me off big time, and i told her about it, and she learned to shut up eventually. But sometimes she kept talking and if i was in the middle of saying something, i would continue talking just a little bit louder.

then again, there are a lot of assholes out there who couldn't care less about those around them, and there may be a chance that u'r stuck with a whole lot of them.

How ya doing, buddy?
