Don’t Wait For An Opening (It Isn’t Coming)
With some people who just go on and on and on, there is never a break in their monologue. If you’re waiting for an opening to speak, it isn’t coming. You will have to stoop to their level a little bit, and also interrupt. But, if you’re smart about it, you can do so in a way that isn’t too disruptive. When you can tell they are on the last couple of words of one thought, jump in. Allowing them to fully finish that sentence will just mean they jump into the next, so you have to find that ideal moment to cut in before they transition into a new thought.
