I'm feeling lousy right now because I just dealt with 3 women (all related to me) who all second guess me, ramble, repeat themselves, fail to hear me the first time, etc. etc.
I'm looking for the following: -polite ways to hang up the phone and end conversations -(ways to) handle second guessing - (ways to) encourage people (esp. women) to listen the first time *I tried to edit the title to say, "people," but apparently we're not allowed to edit the title.

Twirl your finger, indicating them to move the story along.

I do this when speaking to my mom and she's saying all kinds of crap I don't wanna hear. I go take a pi$.$ or a dump (if I need to), or organize things in my kitchen or living room or do something else useful, while she's rambling. |

Well you can go at this in several ways
1st when they are rambling on change the topic. This usually indicates that you have move past the current topic. Kinda like so "what about those Yankees" universal for im tired of this. 2nd guessing - be deliberate in your approach - let them second guess you - advise them that they need to do the task - be confident on your opinion/result You need to determine if the advice that they are giving can be validated or is it just an opinion You don;t need to encourage people to change - if you want change you are the change not them . You explain yourself in a way that they understand the 1st time and confirm that they understood Quote:

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
