I agree with you - I don...Thanks for your thoughts. I agree with you - I don't think the dominators are aware of their effect on others and the person last night was highly entertaining. I am trying to move in the direction of more interaction, but an additional problem I have is that my voice is pretty soft, so an animated extrovert covers me up and no one hears me. Again, I take responsibility for being the person that I am. My goal is to find my own path to comfortable participation. I don't feel that anyone thought I was rude by leaving -- I went to get something to drink and there were other conversation groups, so I joined one.

As the dominator, it can be exciting to share experiences and find commonalities in conversation. I match energies in the room so if people are enjoying my stories and we are sharing interests than I continue in that manner because I can't help it. As an occasional introvert, I never assume that the dominator is aware of the habit but instead try to chime in with small quips and include other people. I take the dominator's story, keep the topic, and turn it to another person. I feel bad walking away from conversations because it can often be misinterpreted to be rude.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829425904800855927noreply@blogger.com
