What context is this anon? School or something?

Anything

Just yesterday I was with my father getting my truck's oil changed, and because he's a gearhead he went out to talk to the guys doing it. Not wanting to be the awkward 20 something acting autistic in the corner, I man up and join them and the conversation turns to how expensive tractors have gotten (riveting) compared to how cheap they used to be back in the 70's.

I wanted to mention how Combines can easily run $1mil+ nowadays (I went on the John Deere website one time, to their create-a-combine thing where you select packages, etc, like a new car), but I got interrupted twice, once by the dipshit mechanic and once by my own father before I could say that simple sentence.

Sounds like you can't feel out the rhythm of a conversation man. There are ques for telling when it's safe to get an entire sentence out vs just a word or two. Sometimes you have to jam a quip in there in order to steer the conversation to what you'd like to say. Sometimes you'll realize that there's no space and these people don't want a third person in there.

Good luck figuring it out, it takes a lot of practice.
