Power through. Talk again. Never give up. Or at least give it fifteen minutes of trying before you go "It feels like I can't get a word in edgewise".

That's just shitty people. Find people who you vibe with, and then interact with them.
When I talk to people irl there's like a 50% chance they'll start yawning. They don't even try to hide it, wtf.
That's why I like Lemmy. I know y'all are yawning, I know it. But at least I can't see it!
🥱
I'm usually the Debbie Downer (SNL) that silences the room by bringing doom and gloom or causing everyone a existential crisis.
It's fun
That's not fair, that's because I only get 4 hours sleep
I'm guessing you are doing social interaction wrong.
You are supposed to talk about them, matters they bring up or have interest in. Social interaction is mostly a circlejeck where people talk about themselves and matters of their interests by proxy, without talking about themselves or matters of their interests.
Transfer of information has nothing to do with it.
Not trying to challenge that it feels like that for you but that's quite different from my own experience. Not that people don't like to talk about themselves but for me it's more about finding common ground than just mirroring them.
In "How to Win Friends and Inflence People", the author found that people that were described as great coversationalists are usually the ones that look like they are actively listening and not talking much.
In my own experience this is is correct.
But also, the evidence that that guy mostly used in his books is "That's what I recon this week", not something scientific.
Just FYI, to reckon is to figure and recon is short for reconnaissance, so to investigate/scout behind enemy lines or metaphorically do the same.
That may very well be true but that's a very analytic way of handling things and one that will probably make social interactions quite unpleasant and stressful. I think you can be a good listener and an interesting conversation partner without effectively becoming a people pleaser. It's just more sustainable long term.
Talk to Dad, Dad doesn't care.
Talk to sister, sister interrupts constantly and just "waits" for her turn to speak.
Talk to brother, brother never stops talking and doesn't listen.
Talk to mom, get silence because she's just ash in an urn.
Dude, my family sucks. 😩
Have you tried gulp raising your voice?
*Raises voice, gets accused of being aggressive, not allowed to talk them until I "calm down"*
Atleast your mum lets you finish a sentence even though she's a damn paperweight, my mum always gets a phone call whenever i start speaking and forgets about me instantly after that
You can't choose your family .... but you can choose your friends
I have trouble with my family too ... which is why I moved so freaking far away that they are forced to have nice conversations with me at least once a year because they know it will be months before I talk to them again.
Good ol' ASD.
You should try talking to me instead. I'll still interrupt and talk over you, but I'll also repeatedly apologise for it.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
