Does it bother you when people just jump in your conversations?

Right?????? People just cannot take a hint or have no clue sometimes. No we cannot get violent, lol especially when were trying to make a good impression on someone, we tried, no clue whatsoever... It is like she was from another planet, she continued to talk, talk and we left, lol. thanks for responding.

I try not to, especially if i am asked or told it is a private conversation. I understand sometimes it is hard though, i really do. It is a process to stop doing this action, and it is a good quality to have. if we are waiting in a line it easy to start having a conversation, i would not mind that too much but not sitting down. Maybe that is what i felt too when it happened to me, I know I was upset. I should have just calmly got up and moved or left without letting interfere with my psyche............ Thanks for responding.

That is a good idea. i did not think of that. i think we or i just was in shock at first by her actions that I really could not see passed that. May be I will try that next time, thanks.

Yes, that is quite weird, and I can understand why it would bother you. When you know the circumstances of the situation, then it makes it a lot easier to determine whether or not it would bother you. In your case, I might think that the person is either a busy-body or just extremely lonely and trying to find anybody to talk with. There are some situations that lend themselves to strangers starting up or including themselves in conversations, such as standing in a long line waiting or sitting near each other on a train or bus, and then it really seems more normal. When you are sitting in a park or atrium or something like that taking a break and talking with a friend, though, then it is an entirely different matter.

No if we are in a line or something like that I do not mind either. We were sitting down in like a an atrium and having a conversation that this person invited herself to join. I mean she sat down with us and proceeded to take over the conversation like we were best friends or something. We were a bit shocked, i could not do that at all. Thanks,.

Yeah we tried that , she just kept going on until we got up and left. i think that is rude, especially when you ask the person kindly to butt out. we told that we were having a conversation and can you please let continue privately. Nope she kept on, we left.

That is true, you do lose your train of thought or where you where going with the topic. Its the suggestion or telling the person that this is a private conversation, please let us continue without your remarks, interjections, or putting your two cents in it. This is true you do forget how to phrase thing when you get caught off guard.

Hi Hatley, That's is exactly what I am saying. Some rude people out there.

This was a perfect stranger that decided to engage in our conversation and proceeded to basically sit down next to us and carry the conversation with her experiences, how she solved it and so forth. We kindly informed her that we were talking to each other and would appreciate it if she would let us continue where we left of alone without her interfering. Please leave us alone. We had to get up and leave to get her to stop. That was annoying.

I have a child that demands our undivided attention when she speaks, it drive her dad crazy. I can deal with her because she is my child. I can talk to her and tell her give me a few minutes, but total strangers taking over my conversation, no. thanks for sharing.
