How do you tell someone they say 'You know " so much and is this a insecurity thing? Do people need reassurance you are listening to them and giving them attention? it's almost insane many people end every few sentences with "You know" or "You know what I mean". Some people are social outcasts because of this practice and have no idea why people run away from them. Record yourself talking and listen to how many times you say it.STOP SAYING YOU KNOW!!

English speakers say it all the time. But then when I lived in Romania, I heard them say "shti" all the time which is their equivalent. Try talking to a snowflake nowadays. If they don't say "like" in every other word you have yourself something special. |

"Um" usually means someone is fishing around in their brain for the right word or phrase. Both are annoying and rude. I'm sure they don't type using those fillers. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 20974048 United States 02/14/2020 04:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I notice the really needy people do this . When you are on the phone with these types they have to constantly be validating that you are in fact still there on the line. They say "you know " "right?" over and over. The other trigger word seems to be " Anyways" why do these people use "anyways" so much? They seem to discount what they just told you and say anyways as if it is not important or they say anyways after you say something. These learned behaviors are ectremely annoying because they constantly have to bring your attention by asking you to maintenance therm on the phone by asking you if you know what they mean. I tell people does a newspaper article say "you know " in it? Does it ask you if you are still reading every few sentences? This is a serious problem the speaking habits of many. I say " Dude you are you knowing the shit out of me." Wow it's everywhere. Thanks for all the good input and I think yes it is because they do not know. |
