    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 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.

    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. 😩

      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

        *Raises voice, gets accused of being aggressive, not allowed to talk them until I “calm down”*

      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.

    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”.

    You should try talking to me instead. I’ll still interrupt and talk over you, but I’ll also repeatedly apologise for it.
