If you stopped talking mid sentence would anyone ask you to finish? If the answer is no, you might want to change your topic or your delivery and definitely start using less words.
Our sphere of influence is limited by our ability to relate to people & their ability to relate to us. No one enjoys a one upping Penelope or an all knowing negative fire breathing dragon. You want people to listen to you & think what you’re saying is as important as you do?
Establish a connection, a respect for the ability to influence them & a genuine concern for whether or not it sticks. You’re just talking to talk if no one cares what you’re saying.
“The wise don’t make a show of their knowledge, but fools broadcast their foolishness.” Proverbs 12:23 NLT
