Being talked over is one of the most painful feelings in this world. It validates our insecurities. It tells us that what we have to say doesn’t matter, and that only the words of another person is important. It reinforces the voices of our mental illness and self doubt which tell us that we do not matter.


I think it’s important to dissect why it is that other people talk over each other.


Many people find themselves unable to be heard in other situations. Be it with their other friends, coworkers, family members or significant other. So when these people meet a “listener” they become ecstatic. This means that they can finally be heard. This means that they can feel like they matter.
The trouble comes when you are always the listener and never allow yourself to speak.


You like to be the listener.
You like to make people feel heard. To look them in the eyes as they speak. To see their expression alter with their words, their body language adjust with their spoken confidence and their smile grow wide as they see they have your entire attention.
But it hurts to be the listener


You try to speak and it is ignored
You realized that when your words are acknowledged, they are brushed over, quickly nodded at and the conversation continues as though you’d said nothing. Or, your words are heard and loosely wrapped into something else they want to talk about. But at least they acknowledged you spoke a little more than before, so maybe you feel a little less shitty about it. What’s worse though? Someone obviously not caring, or someone having the audacity to pretend they care?
