I cannot stand…

Listening to people talk over each other all vying to be the center of attention. I literally just shut down and stop contributing because I refuse to expend that much energy to not be heard anyway. It’s not fucking worth it.

If you’re not going to listen to the other people you are with, why fucking bother? This applies to work meetings or social gatherings.

I get side conversations that branch off the original train of thought. But when the person talking raises their voice or repeats themselves to be heard, or when the person speaking is ignored so that another person can speak? Or when there are multiple people speaking increasingly louder? That’s just too much. I can’t deal with that.

Maybe it’s just me and that’s how group conversations are, and I am just imagining that it used to be different. If so, my bad. If not? Grow the fuck up, show some respect, and learn to fucking listen.

Rant over. Thank you for your time.
