[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it's hard to have good conversations with people who have different processing speeds.[/quote] I hate being interrupted. It's not an issue of processing speed if the interrupter isn't processing anything other than their own thoughts. My mom is a lot like Op's mil. She asks the same questions over and over again because she's always thinking about what she wants to say. More recently, I realized [b]she talks without pausing long enough for me to respond.[/b] I don't think she'll ever change. Op, you can only change how you respond to her. One word answers, sometimes don't respond at all. Sometimes I just say "wait, stop talking now," if it's something I really need to say. [/quote] My mother also does this. As a result, it has taken me a loooong time to break my own interrupting habit, which I developed growing up since it was the only way I could ever say anything. [/quote]
