What is it called, when in conversation....

[Odds]

What's a NIGYSOB?

Echolalia  is repeating something you hear someone else say and it can be something that people with ASD do.

What's a NIGYSOB?

It would be like me saying:

"Hah , I've got you, you aren't actually interested you only want to criticise because you can't be bothered to look into what I wrote..."
sort of thing.
Now I've Got You You Son Of a B.... .
The hit list hints at a few others

I think there's a paralalia for something YOU say.
Not exactly sure what it means. To be sure to be sure.

I'd suggest that it may be that they're not getting any feedback that the listener is paying attention to what they're saying and/or doesn't understand it so needs it explaining in a different way.

It may say more about the listener than the talker.

 

[Brigadier]

No, it's the whole sentence repeated, but reworded - as if you didn't hear the first version.

Sure they're not a bot?

What is it called, when during a normal conversation, the person you are speaking to, sees the need to repeat what they have already stated, two or three times more, though maybe not the exact same wording? Is there a name for it?

Yes, WIFE

If they keep on saying things like
"I've got a bad leg young man"
"It's all due to Brexit"
"Evil nasty incompetent government"
"It's obviously wrong because it's statistcs and you can lie with statistics"
"It's all a conspiracy"
"you have no idea"
"You always think you know better"
sort of stuff, without justifications, then they're looking like people with psycho problems. Commonly known as trolls in this environment.

If they keep saying "you're too fat", or "you should be doing your homework" and you don't listen, and you suffer as a result, then yeah, the problem is with the listener. Difference being, that it's not everyone they're saying it to, it IS you!

My father-in-law's partner is like this!

I can only describe her as a "wall of words". She feels the need to fill every single void with constant talking -- often with completely mundane information. We all went away one year and as I'm an early riser, I went down to make a brew. She was there and we chatted, but there were many moments where silence would have been completely fine. Sometimes I really struggle, when she tells the same stories about people I do not know nor care about.

She did once say that when she was raising her children, she would talk about what she was doing while doing it so they could hear her voice. I think it just stuck.

My very old grandmother does the same, but she has advanced alzheimer's and endlessly repeats herself. It's very sad to be honest, but we just slip into her world and go along with it.

Are you getting fed up with that Essex girl already Harry?

Not the Essex girl... She is due here on Saturday..

 

[Stivino]

My partner's sister is like that, she just never shuts up, it's constant.
I don't dislike her but I can't stand being in the same room as her, or having her in the car.
Having her at the table is my worst nightmare.

No, this is repeating what she says, a second and third time, as if to reinforce it.

I'm the same. I hate people feeling the need to chat - nothing much wrong with silence, when you have nothing useful to say. I especially hate it when I'm driving, I like my entire concentration on the road, where it belongs.

Some people see the need to speak, and say anything just to avoid silence.

 

[Brigadier]

We have a slight variation on your situation, when in the office.

One of our I.T. guys has the MO of emailing you a (long and very technical) explanation of something, then crossing the corridor to come and tell you, at length, that same long and very technical explanation.................

 

[Justin Passing]

I don't have any knowledge or theories about folk like those.
But we've all met 'em.
More of than than not female?
T'were ever the way - even in ye olde days the noisy rattly thing in a windmill, mounted on the top of the balance rynd in pockets in the center hole of the upper turning millstone, was called the damsel.
