After today, I am convinced that some people go to flea markets only because the vendors are a captive audience.
They have no way to extract themselves from a conversation.
It is grueling for people like me with minimal conversation skills.
My pop-up shop may be closed until further notice.
@ReneeVoiceBrand I think I would like to do that, but I know I would feel too rude later in the day.
@Mathias I'm probably one of those people sometimes... I'm not great at picking up social cues that you don't want to talk.
maybe try being a little direct like: wow I appreciate this talk we are having, but I need to put my attention back on the task at hand.
the above would in no way upset me, because I know I can talk an ear off when the mood strikes.
@Dvader1 Good suggestion, thanks!
@Mathias Set up a timer for 3 minutes and let the 'conversationalist' know you can only listen to them for this amount of time due to doctor's orders😜
