Communication Comfort on the 120%: Part 2

If I say that a person's constant monologues about work make me a little heavy, then from now on the interlocutor will most likely start to think about how long and much he or she has been talking about his or her work. He will start to keep quiet, deliberately and plannedly change the topic of conversation, and what is even worse - to apologize. No! No, that's not how my principle works. I say that the monologue on the topic of work does not fascinate me and the interlocutor hears my words, I agree... pause. About 5-7 seconds pass and my interlocutor continues the narrative. That's how it works! Strange, isn't it? 😀 But that's the point, that 120% of the interlocutor's comfort of communication is in the topic of work and monologue about it.

It seems to me that any of the participants of the dialog is able to find one or another topic for communication, which would fascinate both of them. In any case, "discomfort" should not be hushed up. More often than not, it has serious consequences in people's relationships.
