I found myself stuck in a strictly one-sided conversation today. I stood there feeling like a caged animal listening to somebody that would not stop talking about themselves.
It was nothing short of painful.
This person spoke for 20 minutes straight without let up, and no outside commentary from a single other person in the group. Literally. No response from any other human in the room was required, or wanted for that matter.
Just an endless droning on about subject after subject without any pause in between so nobody could interject if they wanted to. I don’t know how that’s even possible. Years had to have been spent honing that skill.
If it wasn’t so frustrating, I would have been impressed.
I decided to put together some totally random statements and factoids to have at the ready for my next encounter with the solo talker to see if I can throw a wrench in his monolog.
