Ask Amy: Woman is warned that boyfriend is bi
When someone talks over you, you might raise your hand: "Oops, you're interrupting me. You're talking over me. Do me a favor and let me finish my thought, OK?"
Tell your friends, "I'm going to do a better job of NOT being invisible, but I need your help. I'm going to stop you when you interrupt me. I sincerely believe that this will help all of us to communicate better."
Dear Amy: "Frustrated Millennial" didn't like her old-fashioned parents' views. I actually could not believe my eyes when you suggested that she say, "OK Boomer!"
That is dismissive and offensive to an entire generation!
