[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can interrupt and ask questions. Ask a few. It annoys them sometimes but it also interrupts their stream of talk and makes them think. Instead of saying uh uh just ask a random question about the story just in start asking a question. One time I did this and then just kept talking myself. The other person actually lost interest in me after that. It’s also ok to simply say oh my gosh I have to go do x and then move on. [/quote] For the woman I know who talks non-stop, asking a question will just lead to a 15-minute side-monologue about even more people I’ll never meet and a separate set of excruciating details that nobody but she needs to keep track of. I love her, but it’s hard. [/quote]
