  • It’s hard to know exactly what you might be doing without actually interacting with you but some of this kind of reminds me of a guy I used to work with. He didn’t necessarily interrupt people or dominate the conversation so much but he was really bad for just changing the subject on a whim. It happened a lot while we were working, he would join a conversation about what we were working on and now suddenly we’re talking about something else entirely

    I really noticed it when we had a work night out. We were in a big group at a table and I was sitting beside him. I wasn’t able to say anything that I wanted to say, not because he was interrupting me, instead it was more like I would have something to say but then the conversation would move on before I had a chance to say it.

    We might be talking about New York City maybe, I would be thinking about how I lived in New York for a little while, I can certainly contribute to this conversation and then BAM we’re suddenly talking about renting in our home city. Okay sure, I’m a renter, I have things to say about that and then BAM again we’re now talking about UK politics or some shit and I’m getting bored.

    I know maybe this doesn’t describe you but maybe it’s helpful to hear anyway.
