I am guilty of doing this at times because I agree with the person's statement, but I quickly turn it back to the other person. I see it happening all the time though in conversations with others. We need to stop making it about ourselves and truly let the other person talk.
Maybe I am weird, but I feel weird if I talk about myself too long. 🤔 🤷♀️
I feel that people need to be more aware if they are going on and on about themselves for over a few minutes, and if so, they need to pass the ball back into the other person's court.
There is nothing worse than sitting there for over 10 minutes just listening to a person go on and on about their life. Unfortunately, this happens to me on the daily, not just professionally (which professionally is a little more acceptable as I am assessing their needs). Most people have to learn to become better listeners. Nobody wants to sit there and just listen to someone talk about themselves.
Sometimes, it is so bad, I actually have a difficult time staying awake! 😴
