Massage - Won't Stop Talking

[SparklyOwls]

I've been seeing someone for a body massage, but in the last year I haven't been. The reason is that she keeps talking and trying to make small talk throughout the whole session. So I'm laying face down and having to talk back in an awkward position. I feel I can never relax properly to enjoy anything!

I feel guilty because I feel I haven't been honest, she's obviously lost my business and I haven't had a massage for ages!

In the hairdressers the other week the person washing my hair kept asking questions during the head massage FFS.

Anyone else experienced this and find this annoying?

I’d find it annoying. My only experience of full body massage is that there’s some nice relaxing music on and the masseur doesn’t say a word.

Yes, there's "natural" music on in the background, but she is always talking and some of the questions have been quite personal as well.

Nature I mean, not natural.

I had a massage the other day. She finally shut up and I was just starting to relax when she, out of no where, asked me if I had children. I literally jumped so hard I knocked over the oil she’d rested on my bed (🙄).
I was a bit annoyed and said “oh sorry I must have really been meditating- I struggle to relax so that’s a miracle” and then she just carried on. I was furious. Couldn’t wait to get out of there. Won’t ever go back there again!

I couldn’t be doing with that. The whole point is that it’s supposed to be relaxing
