    “Your fact”?  That depends on whether or not it’s an actual fact, and not merely one’s opinion. Opinions can be supported by facts, but facts don’t need opinions in order to exist.

    Manners would dictate that you allow the other person to finish their thoughts before responding.  However, with some people, they never stop talking, so you may have to just jump in.

  • I'm more of the silent type. I don't know if it's better, but it's how I roll.
