unless theres a pressing engagement that needs attending to or im being bored to death then i listen until theyre done
Like yapping? They prolly need to get some s*** off their chest or are going through something
If they talk too much as in putting your business out there without getting your approval kindly tell them to not do it unless they ask you and if they don’t respond to that then ignore it because you can’t change someone that doesn’t want to be changed
this is why I smoke
Fr tho at my last job there was a woman who would literally talk for hours about her softball team she was coaching
Luckily she wasnt talkin to me but i felt so bad for the person she always talked to
The thing about people that talk too much is they don’t care what the f*** you’re doing or how you react, theyre gonna keep yapping regardless
just keep nodding and find someone else to talk to in the moment
"Well ight imma let you go"
If it's over the phone
"I ain't gone hold you up"
If it's in person
"Lemme go to the bathroom rq"
Works for both
I use the bathroom one all the time I just realized
Thought that was just my thing
ignores
im finding this to being a growing issue with people. alot of them. i think its a result of prolonged isolation.
ironically i think the solution is for folks to have more conversations but in a way that’s constructive. You gotta be honest with folks eventually. I find myself check people often on this and theyre usually receptive or know subconsciously that theyre doing it
My stepdad does this then will be like “why didn’t you stop by and see me?” Bro cuz you will yap about changing lights and the neighbors lights
Customers do this to me too sometimes like damn Yall know I’m working and got things to do right?
