But after a recent party my partner commented to me about people speaking over me.
The interesting thing about this sentence is that you communicate a minimum of information by using the word partner.
As a listener I don't know whether you refer to a business partner, you are male and refer to a girlfriend or you are female and refer to a boyfriend.
Increasing the amount of details that you communicate can increases the amount of attention that other people pay towards yourself.
When someone speaks in a way that strikes you as unusually ambiguous, consider that it may be intentionally so to avoid placing emphasis on irrelevancies.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
