Does that mean she is seeking power over you?

If the person, does not even give you a chance to breathe or say a word because they talk so fast and control the conversation so much. It does not leave you emotionally feeling good at all.

Why do some women communicate in this manner?



My child is like this. I think it's a nervous thing, in part, and maybe an insecurity thing. Someone once told me I talked too much (an ex BF) and it was very hurtful, so I'm hesitant to tell my child the same. I will sometimes interject and ask them to give someone else a chance to talk.

Sounds like she’s on the spectrum.

If she’s your boss, it means she’s busy and wants to focus the conversation on the information she needs…rather than listen to you drone on about tangential issues or get defensive.

Signed,

Your boss
