Some people are hard to communicate with

Totally agree! Some people are really difficult to communicate with. When I am talking about something with my friends, those people just cannot follow us but would still like understand what we were talking about or what they were thinking at that moment were completely opposite ideas to ours. Even worse, some would stay with us and being silence. When my friends and I asked why she would like to sit with us, can you guess what she replied? She said, " this is because I would like to have more communication with you guys!" What a strange answer it was. Sitting there without talking to the others means communication with the others. It is really funny! My friends and I do not usually send these people away as we do not want to be impolite but we are just too different that they can realize this themselves and leave us eventually.

I've been around people like this before too. It's like the others have said: it sounds like she's in her own little world and doesn't realize she's being annoying. There's one person in particular in my family who seems to think everything revolves around him. He's not a terrible person, but he does the same thing you're talking about where people will be having a conversation and he tries to join in. But since he doesn't always pay attention, the things he says usually don't make sense or fit with the conversation. He seems to have a hard time focusing. I guess he has a short attention span. But to make things worse, if it's not about him he thinks it's not important. So he usually tries to change the subject completely to talk about himself. It's frustrating, but we love him so we just have to try to live with it.

Hi kingparker, She sounds like a real dingbat, and a rude one at that. She has no idea that she is embarrassing herself when she just comes up and rudely interrupts a conversation that she was not invited into nor does she know what the topic of conversation is. She is not from Venus, but clearly she is in outer space.

hi, Gotta get used to the weird people who live in their own world and always speak out of topics in its own language.I got friends too who behaved like that.Guess they are still living in its own cocoon.I wonder if they are are out of their mind or from another planet. Got another one who's in the mid-40s but still living in his own cartoon world.He still watched cartoons and stiil do.

i dont blame you. my husband is the same way. eventually you just learn to block it out all the time. lol

Hmm...based on your story, your co-worker is: (a) totally oblivious to social norms and as such genuinely doesn't have an idea that she has interrupted your talk; (b) just wants to disrupt your chitchat, and so is just plain being rude; (c) wants badly to be noticed, and has committed a terrible social faux pas; (d) really really loves Chinese buffet; (e) is a secret agent working for the top competitor of Golden Corral, and so will do everything in her power to dissuade you from availing of their brunch deal :-p... I can add more. But I think (c) will do. Or perhaps she just really has a problem interacting with other people (and deserves some slack perhaps?) (off-topic) All this talk about GOlden Corral has got me curious...is that like a fried chicken place? The name conjures image of the wild wild west and fried chicken for me. Makes me hungry actually :-p

Well as far as I have encountered people like your co worker,they are the type of person that always wants to be the center of attention. They don't give a damn care if what they're saying is on the topic, they just wants to be noticed which is very annoying! It's good that you ignore her/him coz if im in your situation i'll do the same.

Yes i completely agree. Some people are really hard to communicate with, you have to repeatedly tell them what you are saying so that they could understand or have an idea on what you are saying. In your case maybe she's just doesnt have any clue about the Corral Brunch, although she could just ask about it with you guys since thats your topic anyways.

I had experienced such kind of people in my co-workers. Their main problem is they have very poor listening skills. Either their mind wanders when the discussion is going or they come to a quick conclusion they understand what is in the speaker's mind. It is very hard to make them understand about their situation. The best way is to when you start a meeting just say Keep your eyes,ears and mind open, this is what I do in formal meetings. When it is informal meeting I just ignore them and continue with the topic. Happy communication

well,it happens.if you really thought that she or he is that kind of guy,keep distance!but before doing this ,talk to her first.telling her waht the promblem is.perhaps that she dind't know it.

According to my experience she just wants to be in the center of attention as one said above me. You should talk to her about it or you can just ignore here if she is that annoying.
