I don't talk about politics or religion at the workplace, yet there is a drama queen that loves just blurting out what she thinks to everyone around.

My way to go so far has been to ignore her, but sometimes I just want to yell at her how incoherent she is.

Then I'd be the one starting drama I guess...

I'm looking for advice to deal with these kind of people. I don't want to work listening to conspiracy theories.

I can never seem to articulate what I think, so talking politics is very difficult to me. I would love to be able to mock someone's brain dead political views for 5 minutes. 30 seems inconceivable. Good on ya!

    Right, I'm very conclusion oriented. So while I might know that I did validly get to a certain view or conclusion, I don't always know well enough why to the point I can explain it to others or argue with someone about it.

    This can even be something as simple as why I chose one product over the other. I know I had good reasons for choosing the laptop I did when I bought it, but if you ask me what specifically about it made me choose it over another I probably can't tell you.
