‘Boomerasking’ is how self-centered people are hijacking conversations

There’s nothing worse than being in a conversation with someone where as soon as you finish your thought, they bring the conversation back to them — not even acknowledging what you just said. Sound familiar?

Well, there’s a name for that annoying behavior — it’s called boomerasking.

Boomeraskers move in three parts: first, they ask you a question, you answer, and then they never add on to what you said or bother to ask follow-up questions — they just immediately boomerang the conversation back to them.
