Yes. No problem. If I’m dealing with trying to find my way in an unfamiliar place, I may hope that my one word responses to my passenger will drop a hint if they’re rambling on about something. Most people I know are aware that if we’re lost, it’s not chat time, it’s concentrate time.
Occasionally my daughter will talk a lot and I’ll just want to listen to music, but I try to be patient and listen to her.
Once, I remember a long time ago, being lost and dealing with trying to figure out how to find my way, and dealing with a lot of traffic, and a friend was in the car going on and on and on about some issue. She had anxiety and I tried to listen to her, and respond, but I really felt like saying “can you please shut the fuck up for ten minutes so I can concentrate?”
