    Sorry for trying to relate to you through a common experience, I’ll just nod and say “cool” when you’re done and the convo can die awkwardly.

      i think there’s different severities of this personality flaw. like there’s the ones who let you finish, ask a question, then say it happened to them too and add new info. then there’s people who will interrupt you with a related (but totally different) story about themselves.

      side-note: i just realized a difference between online and in-person speaking is that people can’t interrupt you. is there an equivalent to interruptions online? maybe only responding to part of a comment?
