How do YOU interrupt talkative people without being harsh?

Best trick I have ever used is a lesson I learned from my training in neurolinguistic programming. If you will use affirmitive or negative sounds like mmhmm or mmmm or you get the point at regular intervals during when she speak the brain will eventually adjust so that as she talk she will begin to pause in anticipation of the sound. It should take several times the first few conversations you use it in but after she gets used to it while speaking to you, which should happen without her even knowing, it will take less and less sounds before she begins to pause. Don't be aggressive or loud and if in person use body language like nodding and shaking your head and of course do it at appropriate times, like when she finishes sentences and even if questions she ask are rhetorical. By the way it totally works I have used it before. Have fun

"so what were you saying i didnt get you " they will either tell us the same thing again or they will just shut up

hi diamania, that is common all female friends are talkative,we have to cut the phone when they are talking more,you hve to say that you hve some urgent work,or you have to attend another urgent call like that,there one or two friends to me they are also never end the phone call,i have to say bye bye to the call,have a nice day

Stopping a talkative (I hope just talkative, not domineering) friend is, indeed, a tall order. If you tell it to her face, you may lose a friend. But if you just keep silent, she'll go on talking until her mouth runs dry or your ears snap to a close, whatever comes first. But if she's truly a friend, you can tell her in a very nice and subtle way that it's unfair to have a one-sided conversation. Because conversations are meant to be two sided or even multi-sided or multi-faceted, involving more than two people and talking about a wide variety of subjects or issues. You can start by saying, "(mention her name), don't you think it is only fair if we look at (the issue you are talking about) this way..." Then give, your own opinion, never forgetting to be creative in imparting to her that she also needs to see the other side. In doing this, you can be anecdotal -- citing anecdotes about an engaging, balanced conversation as against what she is doing. I that doesn't work out, you can invent a lot of reasons when you are talking on the phone. And when you are face to face, use your creativity in taking a French leave when she starts being talkative. In time, she will realize that she also had to let you speak your heart and mind out.
