I have literally taken notes on my phone in real-time to resolve some of this. Both to track whatever firehose is aimed at my ear-holes, and to recall points I wanted to make 10 minutes ago, because I couldn't get a word in edgewise.
When asked what I was doing, I simply reply "I have to take notes - there's too much information here." It goes over surprisingly well.
You may have better friends than me. I've had people say that it's "disrespectful" because I must be focusing more on what they said vs what they're now saying or something stupid IDK.
Yeah I get walked over in conversations specifically because I 100% stop talking when someone else is, even when they're the ones interrupting... Until I hit a breaking point and snap on them or walk away and then somehow I'M the bad one. I don't do this with my son, I just disassociate, and I know that's not good for him either, I just don't know what to do when it comes to conversations with him. Although usually it's him just talking at me.
