Do You Know When To Speak?

Tweet

Here is a problem with which I have struggled for quite some time. When in a conversation with a group of people, how do you know the right moment to inject a comment? This is especially difficult when the conversation is moving rather rapidly between two or more other people. You see the subject slipping away but you want to make your point. How do you calculate it? Do you wait for a lull, risking looking like a fool when the subject has run it's course? I think my personality is such that I am not an imposing individual. Also, have you ever had something rather important to say to two or more people in conversation which will change the subject completely and you are limited on time to say it? Do you wait? I am a listener. It is very rare that I try to interject anything unless asked. I suppose it is partly because I am rather shy and partly because it is sometimes not worth the trouble trying to figure out when to say it. That's one thing I like about being on MyLot___you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, when to speak your mind.
