1. Listen.
People just don’t listen. I will start a conversation about (lets say for example) an experience I had that I found
to be interesting and before I get one sentence into what I am going to say; someone will pipe up and say ‘O yes
tell me about it, I also had an experience …. bla bla bla.’
Hence it is so important to listen to the full conversation and then respond because a five minute conversation will
end up going around and around for hours on end.
2. Let go of Ego.
We have this puffed idea that our opinion is always right and when we are challenged regarding our opinion we
get so upset as if the world was falling apart.
Like really!
If someone has a different opinion to us just accept it as their opinion because we all have different opinions to
life.
3. Attitude.
Hold onto a positive attitude, love all people and to love all people does not mean we have to become a friend to
them, all it means is that hear what they are saying without judgement.
By doing so I have found that my life flows along just fine.

I'd like to point out one thing about point 1:

In junior high, there was this boy in my class who often interrupted the teacher (in lessons where raising your hand to speak wasn't a must, like art) and got yelled at for it. However, the boy was autistic. People can usually tell when someone is finished with their talk from... I'm not sure from what, but from something, some facial expression or whatever. However, some of us autistic people have trouble with that. Keeping that in mind, it's not weird if we get interrupted by NTs a lot since they might see that "something" in us while in reality we haven't stopped talking.

But yeah, interrupting someone when you know they aren't done is rude.
