How to jump into a conversation!
An example of this scenario would be two of my friends talking about my favorite artist, The Beatles. Now, whenever I hear The Beatles music or someone is talking about them I can jump into any conversation knowing exactly what Im talking about. When I jump into the conversation at first I would say "excuse me" so I wouldnt sound like im trying to intterupt. If they let me have permisson to speak then I would go off of that and speak my mind. In the change of senario, if some random person walked up to me and interupted my conversatio, they better have a good reason. I would look at them like they were dumb and rude for interupting me. If they asked politley to interupt the conversation I would give them permisson. If they had no idea what we were talking about but was trying to understand our conversation, I would give them the benefit of the doubt until they pissed me off. If anyone is going to include themself into a conversation I hope they think twice about it. If you don't know the topic then why add your nonsense? I've always disliked people who come into a conversation late and ask too many questions, that is one way to set me off.

I like the Beatles too! Classic band! But I totally agree with your methods of jumping into the conversation. You don't want to sound rude, but you want to get your point across at the same time.
ReplyDeleteEntering the conversation properly is very important in order for people to listen what you have to say. If someone rudely interrupts in a conversation, the group will probably not listen to what they have to say about the topic. It is also very important that the person that interrupts listens to the other group members opinion.
ReplyDeleteSo, aside from politely entering the conversation instead of rudely jumping in, how do you show that you know what you're talking about? It's probably easy with your friends, since they know what a big fan you are, but what if it's the professor of your music appreciation class and one of your classmates? How do you show that you really do know a lot about them, and that you're not just saying you're a huge fan because you know all the words to Hey Jude?
