How to Talk with Folks

I am convinced that people do not know how to engage in conversations in person or in real time.  Folks must learn how to control that flapping hole in their face!  From my important viewpoint, here's why...

Keep the conversation short and brief.  No one wants to hear a line by line discussion about what you said to "so and so". SHUT UP!!!!

I may not agree with your bizarre perspective. More than likely, I totally disagree with your crazy viewpoint.  SHUT UP!!!!

Watch  my non-verbal response.  Did you notice my eyes shifted away??  Did you notice that I glanced at my watch?  Did you notice that polite smile I gave you?  Did you notice that I am NOT engaging in a dialog with you?  SHUT UP!!!!

Listen to me carefully!  Whenever I give a "grunt", that means SHUT UP!!!!

Keep your emotional conversations on the "lite" side.  I do not want to hear about your "train wreck", I'm probably too busy managing train wrecks in my inner circle.  For your heavy issues... go see a therapist!  I do not want to hear about your bizarre issues.

By the way... why have you not seen a psychiatrist, psychologist or a therapist?  I'm just saying...
