How Do You Talk To Someone Who Doesn't Want To Listen To You?



Talking is good and bad. The good thing is that if you keep talking, it will helps you practice more and more english; and the bad thing is that if you are talking too much and have repeat what you already said, your partner might not want to listen because they are already know about it. But what about the quiet person, if they talk, will that person listen to him/her? I think, it's depending on that person will listen or not. If they don't want to listen, then they don't care what you try to say. Or maybe they might think that you don't know how to talk about the interesting thing that they like and don't know as much as they do. Someone who doesn't want to listen when you are talking, they are talking at the same time as you are talking or they might go away from you. So that they will not hear what you are saying.

If I talk to someone who doesn't want to listen to me, I really don't want to talk with that person because when they are not paying any attention to you, how can you keep talking to them? When they don't listen to you that mean that they don't care what you are saying and not respect you. If they are respected you, they would be pay close attention to what you said. Or maybe you might have talk to much. Talking to much sometime could be boring because they might be tire to hear what have talk.

When I talk to someone that don't want to listen to me, I just stop what I'm talking and ask them are you listening to me? The question will ask them, if they want to listen or not. If they are not answering my question, so that mean that they don't want to listen. And I will stop talking immidiately and stay quiet, not talk to hem/her. If they answer my question, then I will continue to talk just a little bit and stop because I was already know that they don't want to listen. If I really want to talk with them and they don't want to listen, I will let them talk until they stop. And after that I could talk to them and try to talk what interesting them and make them want to hear more.

  2. If the person doesn't want to listen than just don't waste your breath on them, becasue there are so little time for so little things to do in our little life we have still.
