There are people who are in a boring conversation time can simply turn off and dream about something else, some, despite the absolutely uninteresting conversation, continue to listen carefully to the interlocutor, and most importantly, they remember everything about what they tell. The head of such people sometimes becomes similar to the storeroom, clogged with trash: there are the names of pets, and pressure measurements, and astrological predictions for every day.

And now remember myself. Often it happens that you are addicted in some topic, for example, you can endlessly talk about their child or nephew (he is so clever!), or about his room rose, or about healthy eating, yoga and travels. But does this really interesting interlocutor? In this article, several signs by which one can determine that the other person is already bored and you have time to change the subject.

1. monosyllabic answers

"Really?", "! Exactly," "Yeah ..." "Uh-huh" - sluggish responses of this type and nodding at random signal you that tired companion. He continues to listen to you just because well-educated, but in fact he was already rather tired of your stories about the health of his beloved aunt.

By the way, at times when the source says, "That's funny!", It is unlikely it's funny actually. In the end, when we are funny and fun, we laugh or smile.

2. Repeat last phrase said by you

Information, even if we do not listen to it, it is at any time "stuck" in our brain. And we can quickly reproduce last heard the phrase. So when we want to pretend that we listen to the speaker attentively, we can repeat the last sentence, but only questioning tone. Attention, if the person has again repeats for you, it means he is bored.

3. simple questions

Those uninterested in conversation, usually ask a simple question: "How's the family?", "What to do this weekend?". When growing curiosity about the topic of conversation, questions become more complex and interesting.

4. Changing the position of the body

We all know that better than our words, our body says. We are, without noticing, we submit non-verbal signals. Removal from the source, crossed his arms and turn the body so that the feet point to the door position toe "foot to foot" (that the other party shakes the upper leg) - all of which can indicate that a person is tired listen.

I do not trust non-verbal language, because she personally always put a leg over the other and shake my upper leg, regardless of whether the conversation is interesting to me or not.

5. frequent yawning

Good conversation should be like a refreshing dessert, eating that, you want more, and not on a tight lunch, after which pulls except sleep. If the source is too often yawns and tries to restrain a yawn - it's certainly a reason to change the subject.

6. distant view

When exciting conversation all our attention is focused on the speaker. We carefully look at it. Loss of interest also speaks eloquently wandering eye (source considers his shoes or parts of the interior of the room), and dismissed the "glass" view into the distance.

7. Interlocutor something fiddles with

Journal of Applied Cognitive Psychology published a study in which a group of people were forced to listen to a very boring lecture, during it they constantly doing something his hands drummed his fingers on the desk, going over some piece of clothing, painted, snapping a mechanical handle or play with the wrist hours. It is curious that in reality all these gestures help a person to concentrate on what he hears, but Do you need to deliver information to that interlocutor, who is making so much effort to overcome sleep?

8. The interviewee does not participate in the conversation

When we are obsessing about something tell, we forget that it's still a conversation, so the source must somehow comment on what we are talking about. dialogue often turns into a monologue that can be very tiring. So do not forget to give the other party to speak and listen to his opinion, then turn the conversation exciting and productive.

And you belong to any category: those who talks a lot, or those who prefer to listen to? What do you do when the conversation you tired?
