Have you ever had a conversation with someone who talks over you? Not only do they talk over you they get LOUDER when you try to reply?

I've encountered that behaviour countless (many thousands) of times in my life.
I would say it's rare to meet a person who doesn't interrupt within the first 45 seconds of me trying to say something.
It seems to me that few people these days understand the art of conversation.
@hartfire Very true. Some you can even see in their eyes less an understanding of your words than that they’re thinking of what to say in response. 🤔

I won't talk to people like that.
Sounds like you were invited to the White House recently?

80% of my conversations with men are like this.

The passive-aggressive way to handle this situation is when they finally do you let you talk, just sit there silent for a few seconds

Yup. They have a very hard time being louder than I am typically. I don't get loud often, but if I need to, I have a set of lungs on me. 😂

My brother does that but not only that, if you try to sneak a word in he starts talkin faster.
Yes....i just switch off and wait for the noise to stop.While not actually listening.

The third ex used to SCREAM over me. I could not get in a word to tell him he was mistaken or had heard me wrong. He would amp himself up, and get louder and louder until he was bright purple and looked demonic. His entire family were so rude that I could not speak. I would try, they would interrupt me, and then get loud. They were like barn animals.

@Iwillwait you'll have to tell me which comment it was. I'm not online very much.

Yeah it’s annoying
Yes. And I tend to conclude such conversations quickly. If I can’t participate, continuing them makes no sense. 😒
