I do, but I have relatives who monopolise conversations more than what I do.
At least you heard her verbal cue and understood it. And even ordinary people monopolise conversations sometimes.
Oh I just realised you said talking about your interest...it can be the same as doing all the talking or maybe it wasn't...
But anyway you understood what happened which is good.
Hehe! I have those relatives as well.
This was one of my interests, but it was her expertise. My problem, or at least what I've been told is my problem, is that I socialize about topics too intensely in situations where people would rather small talk. I guess I should have casually asked her about her research rather than asking all the specifics.
There are too many rules to think about lol. It's strange to think that I have to actually think about them whereas there are people out there where this stuff is intuitive.
Thank you
