Have you ever been talking with a group and you start to state your position about a topic and another person cuts you off, strongly gives their position for 20 minutes straight (meanwhile putting down your position) and doesn't give you a chance to speak again? Yes? Well, I had this happen a week ago and it has been bugging me. I am not angry, I am feeling triggered. I felt they were being a bully when they cut me off like that and didn't let me speak again (unless I wanted to cut them off). I understand they were passionate about the topic but it still doesn't give them the right to disallow my view or opinion in a group chat. They would have found out I mostly agreed with them but they didn't give me the chance to say so.
I have been trying to find a way to talk to this person and let them know that it bothered me. Should I call them or email them? It is hard in the time of Covid-19. I can't meet them for a coffee and sit and have a conversation. I also don't know this person very well because I met this person since Covid-19 over zoom. Things are so complicated now.
Until tomorrow...
