Do You Know This Person

Tell me if you recognize this person.
They have already:

Been there,
done that,
seen it,
invented it,
worked it,
ate it,
fucked it,
smelled it,
tasted it,
walked by it,
owned it,
bought it,
sold it,
had it,
got rid of it,
found it,
smoked it,
snorted it,
shot it up,
choked it down,
drank it,
spit it out,
found it,
lost it,
painted it,
wore it,
created it,
lived in it.....

And they love to tell you about all of it. Nothing you have to say registers with them. They are so busy waiting for you to take that one breath when you finish your sentence so they can talk to one up you. They didnt' listen to you....they wanted to talk. They wanted to be better than, faster than, smarter than, bigger than, more powerful than...it is exhausting to talk with them because you start to buy into it. Your heart starts beating faster and you are trying to stay focused and just talk but you know they are waiting, like a lion...waiting to pounce on your last word so they can show you up.

Do you know this person? I do. I don't let myself get wrapped up into the competition because I know I won't win. I know I am never going to say anything to this person that is going to make them say, "Wow, that's cool. I've never heard that before."...or, "I didn't know that."...Never gonna happen. How could it? They already know every fucking thing there is to know on this planet.

After you figure out who this person is, you can just sit back and relax, knowing you are never going to get a chance to talk or finish a sentence so just sit back and enjoy the show. They eventually have to come up for air at some point.

Here is a good tip to test yourself to see if you are really listening to a person or if you are just waiting for them to stop talking so you can bombard the conversation with your brilliance....check where the tip of your tongue is. If it is resting, relaxed on the bottom of your mouth, in its little cubby hole tongue spot...then you are truly listening. But If it is pointed, with the tip pressed right behind your top front two teeth, well then my friend...you are not listening. You are waiting to speak and not paying any attention to what is being said to you. You cannot be ready to talk and be actively listening at the same time, it is impossible. Anyone who says they can do this, is lying. They are conversation sabateurs and they are professional and don't ever try to win because unless you are one yourself, you are not ever going to be able to connect and have a meaningful conversation with this person.

Here is how you respond to a person like this...First I have to ask you a question...How does a southern girl say "Fuck You"? Give up?.....they say "That's nice"....so when they stop talking and are looking for your response, go soutern on their ass and say "That's nice" (even boys can use it)
